After loading a .SOP file into a retrieved pack record or after merging several local packs, some VCS records can thrown some errors. For example, in case records to be imported to the table translation records on the target instance are different from ones in the retrieved pack, causing data inconsistency or any other reason.N have different set of columns. Generally, collisions may appear during the configuration pack import process
. Their leading cause is that the dependent table or record does not exist in the database.
Consider a common use case:
- We have exported the Incident table, child for the Task table.
- We import it to the instance without the Task table.
- In this case, the Incident table cannot be created on the target instance because there is no parent table from which to inherit.
You can find the erroneous record at in the VCS Preview Log related related list (of in the the VCS Retrieved Pack section). This record has the Collision state and the appropriate Error Text containing the error cause. Erroneous records cannot be included in the saved records pack (VCS Records) bound to the retrieved pack that is used for data recovery. records. Erroneous records are records in the following states:
State | Description |
---|---|
Collision | Record in this state requires user's attention and will not be implemented until the collision is solved. These records store the error cause in the Error Text field. |
Skipped | Record in this state will be ignored while implementation. These records store the error cause in the Error Text field. |
Warning | This state highlights valid records having minor mismatches. Depending on the error and user's actions, records will be implemented or ignored. These records store the error cause in the Error Text field. |
You can solve some collisions by completing the following To resolve a collision, follow these steps:
- In the configuration pack you need, scroll down to the Related Lists area and open the VCS Preview Log tab.
- Filter out records in the Good state using the Condition Builder.
- Open one of the records.
- Read the text in the Error Text field to find the error cause.
- Open the relevant record in the Retrieved Records related list.
Make necessary changes to the retrieved record in the the JSON Copy field.
Tip In some cases, especially when the version records need complex fixes, it is preferable to configure the erroneous records on the source instance.
- Click Save or Save and Exit to apply changes.
- Return to the configuration pack record and click Prepare changes.
- Make sure that the VCS Preview Log record state has changed to Good.
- Repeat these steps until all records in the VCS Preview Log are in the Good state.
- When all records in the VCS Preview Log are in the Good state, click Import pack.

Please keep in mind that if any collisions occurred during the local pack preview, the process will be canceled on the first occasion, the others will not be shown. |
Tip |

If you correct the records on the source instance using the JSON Copy field, make sure to export the created local pack as a new application to save all the changes. It is necessary for saving the right configuration pack. This allows further use of the pack without throwing errors on other instances. |
Collisions cases
The idea in the collision fixing process is to try to dispose of collisions in the highest level tables.
If a record can potentially be a cause multiple collisions, the system will display only the first collision. Process the collision and click Prepare changes to see the next collision caused by this record. |
Collisions cases
Panel |
---|
Collision case 1When installing a configuration pack in the system, some record X is added. At the same time, it references another record Y in this system and in this configuration pack. The Y record that the record X is referenced to does not exist. When the export admin previews the pack by clicking Preview Local Pack, the collision is thrown on this record. Collision solving: The solution is to add the Y record to this configuration pack on the source instance. |

Collision case 2The record X is deleted from the system. At the same time, there is a reference to this record in the configuration pack. When the export admin previews the pack by clicking Preview Local Pack, the collision is thrown on this record. Collision solving: The solution is to remove change the X record from the configuration packstate to Skipped. |

Collision case 3Mismatch in the set of fields while importing records between alike tables. Details:
Collision solving: Continue import with the Warning state. In this case, the column will not be created, and the table imported records will have the N-1 set of fields.

Collision case 4The records on the target instance are newer than in a the configuration pack to install. It can be determined by the date and time of record creation. Collision-causing records will be marked with the the Skipped state. state. The Error Text is the following: Collision solving:

Collision case 5In the configuration pack, a table is to be deleted but contains records (is not empty). Collision-causing records will be marked with the Skipped state. The Error Text is the following: Collision solving:

Collision case 6A configuration pack contains objects related to the application X. The target instance does not have this application installed. The Error Text is the following: Collision solving: The solution is to rebuild repack the configuration pack on the source instance in order to add records related to the missing application. |

Collision case 7Partial attributes mismatch between instances. That is, equal tables have a difference in columns. Details: The same table with the same name on the target instance has the N-1 set of fields.Collision solving: Continue import with the Warning state. In this case, the title column will not be created, and the source instance will keep the number column.

Collision case 8The collision cause is a unique key violation. Details:
