Error when using Verify and Save Application

Submitted by kidder on Mon, 04/28/2014 - 12:46
I got an error on my project when saving the Application Map. I resolved the problem, but decided to I used the Verify and Save Application on my project - it produced the following error:
"Unable to generate rules for used services/data sources: Unable to find requested pattern"
The project still runs when i Run Test, and all does seem to be ok, but I'd just like to know which rules are causing the error. Is there any way to tell?

Hi Kidder,

I+?+?+?m sorry you are getting these error messages reported. These look like errors with trying to generate initial rules in a controller for a used service or data source. If your project is working correctly then it is likely that you do not need these rules, and so these errors wont cause you any issues, but it would still be good to work out what is causing them and resolve it.

Do you have any controllers in your project for which there isn+?+?+?t a +?+?++Successfully completed server-side setup+?+?+? line output in the message you have provided?

If so, can you try selecting them on the Application Map and have a look at the Used Services list on the right hand side. If there are any old or incorrect entries here, trying removing them and see if that removes the error messages.

If all the controllers are listed, have a look at the Used Services lists for those around the error messages (eg History and SLARetrieval, SetupDR and InitialLoad, and itemTypesForAmend and locationList). Likewise if these have incorrect entries try removing them.

If these areas all look ok then we will need to investigate further. In this case would it be possible for you to send through an export of this project for us to look at?

Regards,
Gerard

Hi kidder,

Thanks for sending through the project. I have had a look at it, and can replicate the errors you are seeing.

For some reason it looks like some of the metadata for the application map has got out of sync. Within the application.xml file there are references to three partial page controllers (Amend, blank, and newSLA) that don+?+?+?t seem to exist any more. It is these entries that are causing the errors when you use the Save and Verify operation.

Assuming that this is left over information, you should be able to just remove it from the file. To do this, make sure you don+?+?+?t have the project open in the studio, and then open up the +?+?+++?+?-?/application/application.xml+?+?+? file for this project from the repository in a text editor.
In this file you should find a <handler> element tag (3 lines) for each of these out of date names, which you should delete. For me these seem to start on lines 230, 254, and 272 of this file, but it may not be exactly the same for you.

Once these have been removed you can open the project back up in the studio, and you shouldn+?+?+?t get any more errors when you click Verify and Save.

I+?+?+?m not sure what caused the data to get out of sync, but hopefully this should get you back working successfully.

Regards,
Gerard

Hi

I've found and removed the entries from the Application.xml file. The Verify and Save now works as expected. Thanks.

The entries I removed related to partial pages that I'd had on the Application Map, but removed using the standard delete functionality. Is there any reason that this wouldn't have properly tidied up after itself? I have had similar issues in the past with deleting an action, then when trying to put a new action with the same name back in (to a different PP) getting an error. Obviously then the easy workaround was to use a different name.

Thanks

Hi kidder,

I+?+?+?m glad you managed to get it working.

All these entries should have been removed automatically when you deleted the partial pages, but I guess something went wrong in this case. I am not sure why this would be, but if you are able to replicate this problem in the future it would be very useful to know the steps so we can try and track it down.

Likewise for the action problems, as although we are continually looking to improve the reliability of these sorts of things, we know there might still be some issues.

Many thanks,
Gerard
