How do you move an ATM method from one copy of OT to another? Just copying the .its file doesn't seem to work - the receiving version of OT doesn't seem to "see" it

Hi Buffalo,
Be sure to add the .txt on the end of the file too....
xxxxxx.its.txt
I've had no problems moving them between machines - just have to restart OT to let them compile again too.

I copied an ATM method - methodxyz.its.txt - into the OT2018/ATM folder and restarted OT. Still not showing up when I click "ATM" button in OT. That is the right folder?

I haven't tried it yet but wonder if you open IDE and do a build all if it would help.
I have two other computers I sync and I copy the entire ATM folder and it has worked.

Hmmm
No clue. I do that on a regular basis and no problems.
Is the file corrupt? Does it still work on the original OT ATM?

Good day all,

I followed exactly what Mark suggested + LSJ + 3 * restarts as per Buffalo action.Unfortunately "no luck" Thereafter entered manually.
In ending sure appreciate all the posts / support from the amazing forum groups throughout 2018. Thank u all very much.
Merry Xmas and of course Good Health

Good morning Keith,
I think I remember Ed saying that they improved OT2019 so that it only compiled “necessary”(?) files when it opened to save time.
This is just a guess, but maybe it doesn’t know that the copied file is there and thus doesn’t compile it?
If so, maybe this would work when starting OT after copying the file;
Just a guess - maybe Barry can weigh in on this?
Merry Christmas,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thank u for this - unfortunately it did not work.
However and in a different PC - I had recently noted a small problem. Actioned your above suggestion and immediately noted the cause. So for my future "check lists" this is one procedure I will do.
Regards,

The ATM method files are in the OT201#/ATM folder, that should be all you need if you just want the method. Of course if it uses an OmniLanguage you'll need those files as well.
If you don't have the same strategies that the method uses on the destination machine, you'll want to copy those too.
OT2019 will compile methods on startup if it detects something new.
