Import 3.5.6 solution into 4.0 final

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I used servoy_sample_crm as a basis for servoy experimentation. I created a solution which worked fine in 3.5.6 but I have a problem trying to get it into 4.0 final - which by the way, is a fantastic development.

What happens is the solution I want to import keeps reverting to servoy_sample_crm - see the info line from Server Admin below.

[info] Activated solution servoy_sample_crm release 2

my solution is called ‘crm_for_rim.servoy’. It wont show up all in the solutions list in server admin, even if I delete servoy_sample_crm before importing it. It would appear their close relation is causing some angst! I have tried different merging options to no avail. Other solutions import fine.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Did you just exported the solution and renamed the export file or did you rename the solution IN the repository before exporting (this is in 3.5.x).
Servoy saves the solution name inside the .servoy file so renaming the export file won’t do.

Hope this helps.

The name isn’t all that important.

Internally, Servoy identifies versions of solutions by unique identifier. This way, when you import from one repository into the other one, Servoy knows you are importing a new version of an existing Solution.

That is what is happening now.

It might be a bit tricky currently in 4.0 to import your solutionfile as a really different solution, so the easiest way now is:

  • Export your solution from 3.5 repository
  • Import again into your 3.5 repository, but as a clean import, basically creating a new solution
  • Export the new solution from 3.5 repository
  • Import into 4.0 repository

I’ll have the issue addressed that you cannot do a clean import into 4.0 right now.

Hi Paul,

I thought something like that was occurring - thanks for the workaround.
