GlideDBObjectManager and GlideNumberManager

[KS18]

GlideDBObjectManager and GlideNumberManager are used in NumberManager(Script Include).. Please tell me how to know the contents of these two processes.

Hi KS,

These are internal java classes that aren't documented as they're not directly intended for the customer to use. Some, like GlideDBObjectManager, are surfaced via a script include such as TableUtils. You can use something like Xplore to see the functions that reside within the java class but the arguments are a guessing game unless you can find existing use of the function you've found.

Hi Kieran,

thanks for your answer. Was very precise.

What would be then options intended for normal use? GlideRecord? Others?

[Kieran Anson]

If it's documented on the developer or docs site, it's intended for use.

I have just discovered a super convenient usage of GlideTableDescriptor, however, the auto scan tool is telling me that the API is not supported.  The thing it does so well for me is tell me on which table a field is defined...in essence, whether a field is defined or inherited on a particular table.  Do you know of another way to do this using a supported api?
