Servoy 2.1 Release Candidate 3 available

[Jan Aleman]

We announce the immediate availability of Servoy 2.1 Release candidate 3

IMPORTANT: If you have any solutions in Servoy 2.0 now is the time to test if they work properly with 2.1. Servoy 2.1's feature set is now frozen and only fixes will be issued if any bugs are found. If you find any issues with this build please post them in the Bugs section of the forum, mention which version you are using and on which operating system.

NOTE: this is PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, use with caution and make BACKUPS before you start.

Install in a separate directory or over 2.1 beta x, preferrably not in your default 2.0 Servoy directory (so you can easily move back to your production version). Before launching it make sure Sybase is not running to avoid connecting to your production repository. If you do not know how to stop Sybase restart your machine.

ONLY use in production after thorough testing.

This version can be downloaded in the beta section of download at http://developer.servoy.com

NOTE:

This version ships with a new version of Sybasa ASA (9.0.1 as opposed to 9.0.0). We have received some reports that in some cases if you open 9.0.0 database some tables appear to have 'disappeared'. To fix this connect to the database with sybase central, right click on the database and choose upgrade. Follow the default steps in the wizard, quit central and relaunch Servoy and you should be fine. If you continue to encounter problems you can contact support@servoy.com.

I spent the morning trying to resurrect a dead repository. Could it be related to this issue?

What's your definition of dead?
what went wrong? what errors did you have? were you able to still connect to it using sybase central? what happens if you use the solution I described?

Launching Servoy developer failed because it couldn't connect to repository

I was able to connect with Sybase Central; unfortunately, I read your post too late: I managed to transfer the old repository on a freshly installed RC3 on a different machine and I got it working.
After that, I tested no further.

I'm not able to connect to the database with Sybase Central.
Could use some explaination on this or what documentation (PDF) should I look into.

Thanks...

It depends on what's running and not. The easiest:

1. make sure neither sybase nor servoy are running
2. open central, press connect
3. on the first tab fill in user name and password
4. on the database tab only fill in the full path to the filename (leave other boxes empty). Do not fill in any other boxes except the Database file box.
