Missing Object Library(olb) Changes

382441Jul 16 2007 — edited Jul 23 2007

We just recently started using Object Libraries. I'm having some difficulty propigating changes made the olb.

I have created an object group very similar to the msgbox object group supplied in the oracle demos.

This object group contains
3 alerts
2 program units(1 package spec, 1 package body)

I renamed the program units by changing "package MSGBOX is" line to package mymsgbox is". I then dragged the object group back into the olb. Now whenever I go to sublcass the object group the source is missing(all that is there is "package MYMSGBOX is end;") from the program units. However if i copy the object group from the olb to the form, the source is there.

I have seen some similar things happen to visual attributes. I've searched everywhere but I can't seem to find anything more than a paragraph long about editing olb's and object groups.

I have tried the following:

1.  create a new form
2.  copy in the object group from the olb
3.  Edit an item in the object group
*at this point i have tried multiple ways to get the changes back in:
4a. Drag the object group back into the olb and click yes to replace it.
4b. Delete the object group from the olb and re-add it.

or

1.  create a new form
2.  subclass the object group from the olb in the form
3.  Edit an item in the object group
*at this point i have tried multiple ways to get the changes back in:
4a. Drag the object group back into the olb and click yes to replace it.
4b. Delete the object group from the olb and re-add it.

At varying points during this process i have saved the olb, saved the form, compiled the form,"compile all" the form, saved again, pressedt ctrl+t, saved the olb, tried to compile the olb(it doesn't seem to do that), tried to ctrl+t the olb(doesn't do that either). All with no luck.

Can anyone tell me the right way to do this and why some changes seem to stick only when copying in the contents of an olb instead of when subclassing?
