Finding user who soft deleted a module

Oddly its not recorded in module History, no doubt because the module isn't open when you delete it. As far as I know there's no way to find out.

I'd go through History and try to figure out who did most of the edits, or who did the most recent edits.

Hi Louie,

Unfortunately the module handles for deleted modules appear to be nulls so I can't access
the module history to get the last edits etc - I use the following dxl but always get NULL for
the module handle if it's deleted

for itemRef in all folder do {
if(isDeleted(itemRef) ){
Module m = module ( itRefFolder )
if( null m ){
print"Module handle is null\n"
}
}
}

Regards, Paul

If you get rid of your 'isDeleted' check you will find all Module handles are null, since the 'module' function only retrieves that when a module is open. You need to open the module with perhapsm 'read(fullName(itemRef), false)', but you cannot do that because its closed. You'll have to un-delete it to open it, then re-delete it; which is counter productive to find out who deleted it originally.

I don't see anyway to do this.

Hi Louie,

thanks, will just have to mail all users warning of impending purge :-)
