Gosh, what fun I have had over the last couple of days.
I needed to upgrade SB+ Server 5.3.6 to 5.4. I had so many problems, it was not funny.
These issues are on MS-Windows 2000 Server.
Problem:
The windows install process aborts because the SBDEMO account has a file which the upgrade attempts to create:
E:SBPLUSSBDEMOCHDEFNS - cannot create a file that already exists
Fix:
Just restore the SBPLUS directory, move/delete the offending SBDEMO directory/folder/account and start the upgrade again.
Problem:
Entering the SB+ account after the windows install/upgrade to instigate the recovery of the old parameters causes UniVerse to prompt for an update to the SB+ accounts VOC. This then aborts and logs off due to the inability to create some files.
Fix:
The files are not in the VOC but there are in the underlying OS (MS-Windows) so UniVerse attempts to create them but fails. Delete the files/directories from the MS-Windows level and try again. Repeat until it works.
Problem:
I could not print as all the printers had not been started. All the printer info has got lost.
Fix:
Re-enter the ‘Maintain Printers’ information in SB+ Printers Admin.
Problem:
Compiling a report which has been setup to output a PDf comes up with a warning:
Warning: Variable ORIG.OUT.VALUE' never assigned a value
Fix
Don’t compile reports!
Problem:
Some derived fields do not work in the report footer line when the report is displayed as HTML or PDF.
Fix:
none – mmm – yet…
A busy night was experienced by all.
