    We are spending a lot of time on our LS9 project identifying file associations and are looking for some advice - here are our questions:

    1. What is the process you use to determine which files are needed for LS9 security classes?  [Note: We are looking for a "faster way to determine the files needed" - we know how to manually go through each form and one by one identify the file associations. Anyone figure out a way to dump this information out?] This is our biggest need as the method we are using is incredibly tedious...

    2. Do you put the files in a security class separate from the forms or embed them into each security class? 

    3. Are there any special considerations for using AddIns or does the security for AddIns follow the parameters set up for the user’s security class/role?

    Thanks

      No input on the "faster way", but I would recommend putting the files in a separate security class. Unless you have a very special need and the security class is pretty small.

        Addins require in the GEN profile access to the Product Line Data Source 'GEN' access to the CS category, and 16 GEN tables.
