Automatically remove Report Object Structure Security when the object structure is deleted

Edit imported view object's attribute datatype after saving -- but before db config

Scenario: Create an imported view object in db config. Save the object. We need to change a field type, but can't because the fields are read-only. It seems like it should be possible to edit saved object attribute datatypes -- before db config is...

Add a "Last Successful Sync Date" field to cron task instances

It would be helpful to know when the last successful sync date was for a given cron task instance. I.e., the last time records were actually synced to Maximo. For example, with the OOB ArcGISDataSync cron task, we don't have a good way to know whe...

Record cron task errors in a db table
