When has the UKVERSION changed for components?

You need to be careful, as this involves an import into Uniface, but the XML was likely modified by another tool. Running `update uform set ukversion = 7 where ukversion = 8 will resolve the issue.

To verify, run `SELECT ukversion, COUNT(*) FROM uform GROUP BY ukversion`. You will see that there is only one record (or a few) with `ukversion = 8`. The majority will be 7, which is the acceptable value for your version.

Note the Kversion on the repository itself, and the panels (UPNL?) will also be 8, but this is correct. Not sure when the Uform kversions changed, all I can tell you is sometime between patch 004 and patch 034. 

Hi all,

the error occurs first with Patch 038.

After getting the error

[] User action failed to complete. Unexpected exception. [error=-100003] Repository data found, of which the K-version is too high.

it is possible to open the form and change the form.

Funfact: This will set the UKVERSION back to 7!!!

But if you do not open and edit the form and exits the IDE, then you are in TROUBLE!

Hi Norbert
As Iain said, the ukversion depends on the Uniface Version and increases monotonically. 
If you transfer components from a higher version to a lower you got an error.
Only way so “solve” it is to set ukversion back to it “correct” number :-)

BTW about your funfact : 
That makes sense, because saving the component sets ukversion with the hard-coded, appropriate version number.

Patch 10.4.03-038 indeed has changed the UKVERSION for the UFORM.DICT table to allow for the new UX Component Widget properties. Editing components will as such update the K-Version, and access to this repository with older patch installations is giving you this message as the database interface has changed.

In general I do not think it is a good idea to mix and match different patch levels on the same development repository. In addition, the fun-fact, the risk is you are losing data as the older repository does not ‘know’ the new properties. If you are not using UX Widgets you are save I think.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jonke,

for me this is a BUG!

There are no changes for Client/Server-Forms over years. Only UX changes.

So why should Client/Server-Forms change the K-Version???

Hi all, 

I mean, the bug is allowing an export from kversion 8 to be imported on kversion 7 without changing the kversion. 

It should either not allow it (and the user changes it manually in the xml file if they dare) or auto convert it to the correct kversion on import. It should NOT cause it to prevent the IDE starting again because the data was now out of order. 

It is going to be a fact that development repositories will frequently be newer patch versions than production and/or QA. So the system ought to preserve it’s own integrity on export/import (either by disallowing it as above, or by fixing the data on import….. )

Regards, 

Iain

Hi all,

I opend a case at RocketSoftware for this.

The error is thrown after $ude has left the TRY/CATCH-Block.

If an error occurs the import has to be ROLLBACKed.

trigger detail

throws

                $proc_tracing = 1

                try

                               $1 = $ude("import", "misc", "C:\Uniface\Hotzenplotz\Development\project\cpt_g_ara_tp.xml", "", "")

Thanks Norbert, we’ll take it from there.
