I’ve run into a problem that I’ve never seen before. When trying to export and then import a solution I’m getting this message when I try to import it back in with a different name:
com.servoy.j2db.persistence.RepositoryException: java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot find the file specified
This sounds as though there should be some java file installed on the machine that isn’t there. I’ve tried it with two different solutions so I think it must not be a problem with the solutions per se. Anybody have any clues as to how to go about fixing this? I’m held up right now as I need to simplify one of my solutions but to do that I first have to reimport it. Worse is that this is happening on my Windows 2000 box which I am pretty hopeless with but is the only machine allowed to access the hospital databases with. Something about wanting to have a Windows machine on the network so they don’t have to worry about viruses… don’t ask. I do have Java 1.5 on here; this is the build and computer info:
Version R2 2.2.4-build 336
Java version 1.5.0_06-b05 (Windows 2000)
Yes unfortunately I still do have the problem and I don’t think there is anything special included - it’s pretty much a ‘vanilla’ solution in that way. I also posted this under ‘Issues and Bugs’ on the Forum and then, after Johan replied, I sent a copy of the exported solution via the bug reporting site. I’ve been caught up in non-Servoy stuff this week so haven’t had a chance to play with it since then in terms of trying to track it down. I think it is somehow Sybase ASA related as that seems to be a Sybase utility but I’m unsure a) how to fix it or b) what I’ve done wrong or how my system isn’t working. Currently that solution is running fine - it’s just the exported solution that can’t be re-imported - so I’m just letting sleeping dogs lie and hoping nothing goes wrong until I have more time to look at it or Johan and the team can figure it out. It also might be the same thing that caused the weird partial elimination/addition of some element names I mentioned in the Servoy 3.0.2beta upgrade topic.

A little off-topic: there is a bug in 2.2.4 (it should be fixed in 2.2.5) wich will cause all your security settings to be lost when exporting and reimporting back with a different name, I spent several hours of work recreating the whole security after an export-import operation for a major version of one of my apps so I suggest you to wait for 2.2.5.
Yes Marcel, this happens if you choose the “Import as…” button. Already reported to the Servoy team and already fixed, it should be included in the next build.
I use to do this when I start working on a major release, I export the solution and reimport it back with a different name (ex.: App_1_0 → App_1_1 ) so I can develop the new version and still be able to provide bug fixes for the older one.
