I don't know if there was a question in there or not, but I think I saw one
so...
The cfaApplicaitonDB is a database that is setup for you to play with. This
was meant to force a best practice of Application Objects, Types, and such
in its own database instead of building applications inside of cfaObjects
which happened in the early Spectra 1.0 days.
For your application, you might/should set a separate database, install the
necessary Spectra tables and point your application to it.
The actual representation of the application Object is stored in the
cfaObjects database so that we have a consistent location of where all the
application of the server are registered. I.e. <cfa_applicationInitialize>
doesn't need a data source since it already knows that all the application
objects are in the cfaObjects DB.

Thank-you for the information. A simple refresh cleared it up.
BTW, it happened right after i migrated the cfaobjects codb to
ASE, but I assigned myApp to its own CODB.

No, myApp was assigned to its own CODB.

Well, one might ask 'what is cfaapplicationdb' used for? You'd think that
the
application itself (its objects,types, etc..) and its representation as an
object on the webtop would be considered two logically separate entities.
Thanks for the assistance,
