Why is SYS_CALENDAR not supplemented to 2030 for example with an db-upgrade?

Tue, 14 Jan 2020 08:02:56 +0000

Why is SYS_CALENDAR not supplemented to the end of 2030 for example with an (db) upgrade?

On older created databases, SYS_CALENDAR runs only until 2020.
After several upgrades the table is still not supplemented.

My Example: RUNA is now 11.1. SYS_CALENDAR runs until the end of 2020.

Be aware: I will supplement SYS_CALENDAR on the RUNA database myself, with an script.

Second question: Does anyone know where SYS_CALENDAR is used for, other then reporting?

Issue creating new contact + action in 11.2

Fri, 19 Apr 2019 12:43:27 +0000

Hello,

A cloud customer (VCK) has just upgraded to efficy 11.2 build 16718 but there is a problem when the client tries to create a new contact (see screenshot below).

This only happens when creating a new contact and only for the contact module.

Another issue happens when trying to create a new appointment (not task, so only when using the agenda). See screen below.

There is very little custom and the problem persists without custom.
My guess is there is a problem with the database structure but i can't seem to find the causes. I have upgraded the DB with the designer but no luck.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thx.

DB Upgrade - missing database schema

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 16:53:03 +0000

Dear all,

For a customer we changed the DB User name, in order to make it worked, we have :
1- change the DB Schema (following the post : https://overflow.efficy.com/?qa=807/mssql-server-how-to-change-owner-name )
2- change the Efficy Admin name in ACC_ACCOUNTS
3- change the login in Alias manager

We then kill the com+ and we tried to do an upgrade DB but we encountered issues with the SQL function because they are not prefixed with the schema.

We look at a local DBUpgrade script and in my local environnment the function are prefixed for instance below we can see ADMINR14832.GETOPPORTUNICOMPETITORS_VAL ... on the customer database we dont have the prefix.

So my question is how the UpgradeDb.exe tool is retrieving the database Schema, in order for us to check if we missed something in DB ?

create view R_OPPORTUNITIES as select OPPORTUNITIES.*,
(select FULLNAME from ACC_ACCOUNTS L1 where L1.K_USER=OPPORTUNITIES.MANAGER) as R_MANAGER,
(select STATUS from LK_OPPO_STATUS L2 where L2.K_OPPO_STATUS=OPPORTUNITIES.STATUS) as R_STATUS,
(select NATURE from LK_OPPO_NATURE L3 where L3.K_OPPO_NATURE=OPPORTUNITIES.NATURE) as R_NATURE,
ADMINR14832.GET_OPPORTUNI_COMPETITORS_VAL(COMPETITORS) as R_COMPETITORS,
(select COMPETITOR from LK_OPPO_COMPET L4 where L4.K_OPPO_COMPET=OPPORTUNITIES.LOSTAGAINST) as R_LOSTAGAINST,
(select CODE from LK_CURRCY L5 where L5.K_CURRCY=OPPORTUNITIES.CURRCY) as R_CURRCY from OPPORTUNITIES
go

Upgrade from 7.0.25 to 10.2.31 gives weird error ( due to new Standard Category that was already existing in custom )

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 13:34:19 +0000

When upgrading from 7.0.25 to 10.2.31 the DbUpgrade.exe gives weird error

When looking the generated upgrade script, he tries to create twice the RCONT$EMPLOYEE view, the second time with a TEAM column that doesn't even exist and that points to LKCONTTEAM which doesn't exist either.
Also no trace of these non existing table and field are found in SYSTABLES or SYS_FIELDS....

create view R_CONT$EMPLOYEE as select CONT$EMPLOYEE.*,
(select F_ENTITY_NAME from LK_PROJ_ENTITY L1 where L1.K_PROJ_ENTITY=CONT$EMPLOYEE.F_ENTITY) as R_F_ENTITY,
(select F_COST_CAT_NAME from LK_COST_CATEGORY L2 where L2.K_COST_CATEGORY=CONT$EMPLOYEE.F_COST_CATEGORY) as R_F_COST_CATEGORY,
(select F_STD_UTIL_RATE_ from LK_STD_UTIL_RATE L3 where L3.K_STD_UTIL_RATE=CONT$EMPLOYEE.F_STDUTILRATE) as R_F_STDUTILRATE from CONT$EMPLOYEE
go


create view R_CONT$EMPLOYEE as select CONT$EMPLOYEE.*,
(select TEAM from LK_CONT_TEAM L1 where L1.K_CONT_TEAM=CONT$EMPLOYEE.TEAM) as R_TEAM from CONT$EMPLOYEE
go

Somewhere there must be something in the DB that causes this but where can I look ?

DBUpgrade - Subquery returned more than one value

Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:53:34 +0000

Dear,

We are getting this error 'Subquery returned more than one value...' when clicking on apply in the designer or using dbupgrade.

When we try to find a duplicate object in the database by querying the sys.objects table we don't find it.

What could be the cause here?
