Has anyone ever successfully decompiled an exported BAQ or RDD? If so, what was your tool of choice?
I don’t follow, an exported BAQ is just a dataset mostly (XML)
What are you trying to do/see?
Well, if I try to edit a baq file, it just shows jibberish, which leads me to believe it’s compiled. What I’m trying to do is get to the underlying setup of it so I can reverse engineer it better for new ones or modifying system ones.
A .baq file is just a zip-file. My tool of choice is 7-zip you can extract it to view the underlying XML contents.
I use a git-hook to unzip it and commit it to version control.
You could just import it into your system and viola. Much better reading the Visual Design than an XML.
Its jibberish because its compressed, you can de-compress it but again you can just modify the BAQ in the system itself it makes no sense to modify the XML outside the system. You shouldn’t have to “reverse engineer” a BAQ you can see exactly how it works in the system.
What problem are you trying to solve?
