In my haste to get an app demo done, I copied directories from other apps into the new app and attached them. Created the new app with these and other new tables. I now try and deploy the app and have had little success.
1. The Scan_Rep reports no errors unless I invoke use strict ID rules, at which point it reports a few errors, but nothing having to do with the new app.
2. I create a directory within the OI directory called "Depoly". Under that I have three directories, Extract, OI and data. These are used in the deployment definition. "Extract" is used as the Extract path, and "OI" and "Data" are used at the bottom of the "Installer Settings" tab.
3. I have some kind of relic "dict.custom_Labels" show up under tables so I change that row only to "Do not Depoly"
4. I change all the other tables to "Deploy" rather than "Depoly Empty"
5. Run the extraction. After the first step "Repository Extraction", I get an error message "Aliases Extraction Error" - could not locate original table. I click OK. After the database extraction, it lists errors saying that it could not find "MACROS", "POPUPS", "SYSTEMP", "SYSWORKSTATION_SETTINGS" AND "WINDOWS". Then it lists several (a few dozen perhaps) rows of "volume not in synch with systables".
So, then I try and "fix" systables because it does indeed list the old application name rather than the new. But, I get an error message that SYSTABLES is read only. I have a neuron somewhere that has the information as to where that flag is within Revelation but I can't get it to fire. Help? Also, how do I fix the rest of this mess, that yes, I created, without starting from scratch with the app? Also, WHICH directories should I have identified in the deployment def and where is the best place? Inside or outside the OI root directory? Finally, I'm trying to create a full install. OI version 9.2, XP Pro SP3
Thie time I started with a clean OI installation. Created an app. Created one table in the app. Created one form using that table. Try to do the RDK and get the same errors.
