Template Inheritance Analysis with Teamstudio Analyzer

Have you ever made a change to an element in a Lotus Notes design template and, upon moving it to production, you discover that there are numerous links to that specific design element-all of which inherit the same change?

To avoid this problem, you need a clear understanding of which databases are inheriting from templates and which ones aren't. You'll need to do this for each database and template on the server-and it's not an easy task, since not only can databases inherit from a template; design elements can as well. So although you may have a database that's no longer inheriting from the original template, one of the views in the database could be doing just that.

So how can you get a complete picture of the inheritances? Use Teamstudio Analyzer to run a batch analysis of your production server's data directory, which will give you an analysis output for each database and template in that directory. This output database offers a view that pinpoints all the template-linked elements within each database and template in that directory, enabling you to easily map all of your template inheritance scenarios.

Teamstudio Analyzer presents a view to identify all template-linked elements within each database and template in your directory, allowing you to quickly and easily map all of your template-inheritance scenarios.
