Issue after mistake

robleer

Hi,

I need an advice how to solve a problem.

This is the situation:

I have an Aware application which runs fine in production.
I wanted to add some new features and while doing that in testing/development mode, I accidentally deleted a business object (with a lot of rules and details).

To solve this, I created a new Business Space, loaded a copy of the production environment and then made a copy of the deleted Business Object. Then I pasted this Business Object back in my development environment. Everything seemed to be ok after that (no errors), but while testing my application I noticed that al the data of this Business Object was gone/deleted. So, it looks like Aware drops the table in the database and then creates a new one causing the data loss.

But I'm out of ideas now how to solve this (except making a complex export/import procedure).

Is there a way to drop the testing/development database and create a new one from the production application without loosing my data?

After that I can continue developping ->publishing like before.

TIA,

Rob

1) have you published yet?
if not, why not just give up trying to salvage this and go back to previous version (which is making a Minor v from CURRENT like you normally do)
You'll lose all your code changes, but redoing them might be faster overall.

2) what database?
if you are going to make a new Minor version, then you could restore a backup of LIVE data into TEST, since it will match?

You ask about "losing your data"? Are you talking about Test data? (which is why I ask Q # 1)

No I did not Publish it.

I did try your solution going back to the previous version, but then I got an error in de the Aware Configurator that some tables do not exist. It says that Aware could not drop tables and I got into more troubles.
So my feeling is now that the database is not in sync with the Business Space anymore.

I think I will try this I because I do not know another solution for my problem.

Thanks for your help so far!

Update on this issue:

I did go back to an older version and published that version (after making a good backup of course).
This went well and I did not loose my data in my production database.

In the develoment/testing database my data was lost, but thats not really a problem. So after all its solved without real problems and thanks for your help.
