imageMedia being lost

Classic Servoy
1

Hi.
I am having a problem. I have used the Servoy 3 sample CRM as the starting point for a project (which uses the svyCore module).
Once I had got the solution ready for testing at a client (developing on my Mac, 10.4.8, Sybase ASA 9), I exported the solution, including sample data and referenced modules.
My client is using a mix of Macs & PCs, but for the back-end, they are using MS SQL Server 2005. I set up Servoy to use this back end for the repository, created a new table for my solution on the server, disabled the dataprovider that my solution was linked to, to allow a ‘Clean Import’, then imported the solution, choosing my new dataprovider etc.
Once the solution was imported and loaded, any buttons that had ‘imageMedia’ properties had lost the link to the media (from svyCore) even though that media was in the media library in the correct place with the correct name etc.
As I didn’t have time then to post a forum request, I had to go thru my solution and re-link all my buttons :cry: .
Once this was done I was working on site on various changes, updates, etc.
Once all was done, I wanted to export the new solution and bring it back onto my laptop, but using a MS SQL 2005 (Express) back-end for the data, but still using Sybase for repository. I exported solution in same way as above (data, modules), and then re-imported onto my laptop.
Once again, the imageMedia had been lost!
I then changed the exported solution file into a zip file which I expanded so that I could check if the media etc. were in there.
There was a ‘blobs’ folder that had all 51 images from the svyCore media library. The svyCore solution.xml file had all the correct names/links for the media & my solutions solution.xml had the correct links to the IDs for the media in the svyCore xml :? So I don’t understand why the media link is being lost!
Anyone got any ideas?
I can upload the solution file (1.5Mb) if required…

Thanks,

Are you sure you did not copy a repository database in the past? (you and customer having same repository?)
or try deleting the solution at customer site, before doing an import

Hi Jan,
I have not copied the customers repository database.

If I delete the solution at the customer site, I will lose the advantage of ‘releases’, so if I am making updates to a new release, install it, it doesn’t work, I can roll customer back. If I delete solution, I won’t be able to do that?

Thanks,
