Compared to the export of the complete form,
it looks like the export of UXFIELD via entitycopy doesn't include all the properties.
The test below doesn't show all missing information, but narrows the problem area.

Hi Uli,

This seems to be the mapping for the migration.

try this command line

/cpy idf:uxfield.dict xml: #

The # overrides the mapping and tells uniface to use the descriptor instead.

Regards,

Mike

I asked a couple of friends to check my findings and Gianni Sandigliano came up with an additional observation:


Then the result you've required:

comparing two uxfield sections, 4 fields are missing into uxfield:

<DAT name="IS_STATIC">F</DAT>
<DAT name="IS_CONTROL">F</DAT>
<DAT name="DATA_SYNTAX">NED,NPR</DAT>
<DAT name="U_INT">C2</DAT>

and UMVERSION field value is different being 4 for exported version and 1 for copied version

<DAT name="UMVERSION">4</DAT>
vs.
<DAT name="UMVERSION">1</DAT>

I feel it is confirming what you've published on uniface.info. Considering /cpy is obtained from analyzed model, probably something is remaing old into USYS structure.

Please take in consideration my component ULI_TEST_NM_FRM was just created into U10 directly; in other words: it was NOT migrated from U9!

: Hi Mike, I will have a look if the suggested workaround helps on the entitycopy.

Thanks for your fast reply,

To use the suggested workaround


/cpy idf:uxfield.dict xml: #

with entitycopy, we have to add to the last argument (which is the optionlist)

map=#

so as long there is no patch for this issue, we have to use this construct
and document why we used this mapping directive because this should be default behaviour
