Finding recently updated objects in central repository

I frequently query the AL_LANGXMLTEXT table in the repository to see what objects have been changed, but this doesn’t work for central repositories; the table is empty (as far as I can see). Or is this an issue only for secure repositories? How can I get this information from a central repo?

Not 100% sure. But in AL_LANG, there are columns for checkin, checkout and its dates. I believe they are filled in central repos…

If not, AL_ATTRIBUTE contains a change date (using Designer, right-click on the dataflow in the object library and view the properties, the attributes).

Thanks, yes, the checkin date is perfect, I’ve seen that before but forgot about it.

You can also use the label date in the al_label table. But that only works when a label is applied to an object by the developer.
