Deleted everything.
Imported eveything.
Worked flawlessly in the new company.
Great program!!!
I love it!!!
Thank you!!!
Richard
Probably just had to add the other company to the security in the function library.
Wait until you see whatâs next..
Iâm late to the party here, but I just tried this out and LOVE it! Thank you @klincecum!!! 
This makes refreshing a Pilot db that users are still testing in so, so, much easier.
Has anyone tried exporting BOOs/BOMs? We often have people trying out new manufacturing routings in Pilot db, and when theyâre happy with the new routing, they have to copy/paste them into the Live db.
@klincecum , can I export myself?
Exporting BOM data is straightforward. The table you export from is PartMtl, and the DMT upload is âBill of Materialsâ. All the fields in PartMtl are in the DMT upload, AND you need both a âPlantâ and âECOGroupIDâ field for the DMT upload.
BOO data is a little more complicated. There are two linked tables, PartOpr and PartOpDtl (the second table holds the ResourceGroup/Resource/Capability capacity constraint). The DMT upload is âBill of Operationsâ, and also requires a Plant and an ECOGroupID.
The way the DMT works for this is literally the same way youâd add (or modify) a Part Revision record through the user interface. Each line in the DMT upload essentially checks out the Part Revision to the Engineering Workbench (which is why you need the ECOGroupID field), makes the change, and then approves and checks the part revision back in.
These are NOT fast DMT uploads. Your RPM (records per minute) will almost certainly be below 100, and depending on complexity, maybe even less than 50. Do it in small chunks⌠error message tend to be, shall we say, not incredibly helpful.
Question: Would it be possible to use the task agent to complete this in the background so that it doesnât freeze the front end, e.g., export to Excel?
Something else that might also be useful is the ability to export KNTCPersLayer KNTCCustLayer and possibly components (we arenât using any).
It is possible to âbulk exportâ from Application Studio, but it would be nice to have an âall-in-oneâ tool.

@spaceage did you ever figure out the sytax for getting custom layers for both system apps and non-system? I tried the above and got all system apps but not custom layer .jsonc
I never did figure it out, but I didnât put a ton of time into it either.
If you take a look at following it may give you the insight into what needs done, I tried turning my hand at it, but I havenât had a lot of time to delve into it.
Essentially though âLayersâ are a sub-component of a âBase Layerâ
My code was executing but wasnât returning anything, it may be the push you need to get everything working.
@klincecum So Iâm actually getting a similar error with my attempt at a custom function as I get when I try to run your code for system layers.
I wonder if that means my code will work for someone with the Epicor SDK?
âŚ
That one is broken for me too. I havenât had time to revisit.
WOOT!!! WOOT!!!
