    We have migrated application from U9.7 to U10.3 running Oracle 19c, server on RHEL8 and client on Windows server 2019.
    It is running fine in generall except for included entites. The problem is that when any new or existing record from included entity is going to be displayed, application crashes and nothing usefull is put in the putmess log file.
    Are included entities supported in U10 ?
    Do we need to do something special during model/data migration ?

    It's documented since at least Uniface 8 that the usage of included entities should be avoided. In case an application is making use of included entities and this functionality cannot be replaced easily then this probably is not really an option.

    Coming back to your questions:

    Q: Are included entities supported in U10 ?
    A: I'm not aware that this functionality has been discontinued, but when you check the Uniface 10 documentation then you can see that it contains less info about included entities as before. I currently can't say if this has been done on purpose or just as part of a general cleanup.
    Q: Do we need to do something special during model/data migration ?
    A: Not that I'm aware. But there were some major compiler changes in Uniface 10.

    It probably is best if you raise your issue with support so that this can be analyzed in more details.

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hello Branislav Barnak.

    I am handling a case from another customer about this problem.
    When you change the database access for the included entity to database and recompile the included entity and involved components
    the crash is gone and included entities should work.

    Hi Peter

    I changed the db_access to 'D' , analyzed model and recompiled related forms and it seems working.
    Thank you very much for your help !
