Introduction and Installation

Introduction to the Course.

In this lesson, you will learn how to open and explore DataFlex workspaces using DFXray, a helpful tool that gives you a full overview of all registered environments on your machine. Whether you're working on a development setup or a production server without a Studio, this lesson walks you through three different ways to select and open a workspace, plus a hidden trick to quickly launch your Studio from DFXray.

Table definitions

In this lesson, you will learn how to use DFXray to inspect table definitions within a workspace, understand the filtering and navigation options in the table selector, and explore useful features like relationship diagrams, source code references, and exporting data. You will also see how DFXray handles different database backends, such as DataFlex tables and SQL, and how to efficiently search and navigate column data.

Library map and other features

In this lesson, we will explore several key features of DFX Ray, including the library map that shows the structure of libraries in a workspace, the powerful search function with customizable filters, saving and loading workspace data as JSON files, and integrating DFX Ray with multiple Studio installations through the tools menu and registry settings. This enables efficient navigation and management across projects.
