Problem: Can’t export WAR file after upgrading from 6.1.3 to 6.1.6. Clicking on ‘Next’ to select the destination you want the WAR file placed in just gives you a blank page. See pictures
[attachment=1]ExportWAR1.png[/attachment]
[attachment=0]ExportWAR2.png[/attachment]

Bit of a problem!

[ROCLASI]

Hi John,

I just tested it with both an upgraded Developer and with a clean install. In both instances I get the proper dialog where I can select a destination file.
So I can’t reproduce what you are seeing.
Perhaps you should try a clean install.

Hope this helps.

[john.allen]

Interesting. I later did an upgrade of a copy I’d made just to 6.1.5 and that was fine. But when I upgraded that to 6.1.6 that too failed in exactly the same way. I guess a clean install is the way to go.

[Andrei_Costescu]

Case for the upgrade + war exporter problem: SVY-4916.

[Andrei_Costescu]

Until SVY-4916 gets fixed the workaround would be to manually create the missing "[install_dir]\application_server\lafs" directory.

I just upgraded Server from 6.1.2 to 6.1.6, and now get an “Invalid Foundset” error on Solution opening

My Opener script uses Controller.Find to find a non-existent value ( record -1 ), so as to start with an empty found set. It used to work. Now it shows record 0

Is this to be expected ?

gdurniak:
My Opener script uses Controller.Find to find a non-existent value ( record -1 ), so as to start with an empty found set.

Use databaseManager.setCreateEmptyFormFoundsets() in order to start all your foundsets as empty foundsets. (which in my opinion is always good, because how should the developer know what the user is looking for?)
Otherwise you can just call a foundset.clear() for this specific foundset.

[Andrei_Costescu]

gdurniak:
It used to work. Now it shows record 0

Do you have sample code to show this difference? Or a small solution with that sample code… I’d like to see what changed, even if one would normally do that with .clear().

[gdurniak]

The Open Script is just this:

if ( forms.plan_records.controller.find() ) {

forms.plan_records.plan_number = -1; // Find NONE

forms.plan_records.controller.search( true, false);
}

I went back to Server 6.1.2, so no longer a problem ( and no way to test further )

Note: servoy_updater.bat reported that 2 zip files were not found. The upgrade did finish, but not sure it is complete. I then tried a clean install of 6.1.6, and server would not start ( insufficient heap ). This is way too hard

We are on Windows XP Pro SP 3, Java 1.6.0 43

[Andrei_Costescu]

I did try a small sample with such a find/search. But for me it worked fine.
Can you file a case that contains the exact message reported by servoy_updater.bat (about the missing zip files) and a sample solution that shows changed behavior between 6.1.2 and 6.1.6?

Then about the “Insufficient heap” - if you can’t fix that by tuning (lower/higher) the -Xmx setting from servoy_server.bat please file another case and specify the exact/complete error message & Java version . Your system should have at least that amount of memory available (even if it’s swap memory). That setting hasn’t changed between the two versions so I don’t see why it would happen.

[gdurniak]

Given your new Release Policy, it might make more sense to try an upgrade to Servoy 7

I have successfully upgraded to 7.1.3, and now only have the “Invalid Foundset” problem

I have posted it here. Very strange:

How can I enable table view scrolling (without paging) in webclient Servoy 6.1 ?

And where can I find Servoy documentation about this ?

Regards,

[sovanm]

Hi Lambert,

If i understand correctly, you want to replace the paging to show a scroll bar in web client.

If so you can use the client property onSolutionOpen to replace the default paging to smart client like scrolling in web-client table view.

Here is the code :

    // To get the table view in WC scrollable
	application.putClientProperty(APP_UI_PROPERTY.TABLEVIEW_WC_DEFAULT_SCROLLABLE, true);

Also see here.

Thanks,
Sovan

Thanks a lot, Sovan !
