Options to resolve this issue.
Before upgrading to 1.8.1
If the site uses Xenta Central Schedules, then use the server Hotfix 1.8.1.5101 to upgrade all the servers. Please contact Product Support and request Hotfix 1.8.1.5101.
After upgrade to 1.8.1
There are two options in this case:
- You can delete the Xenta Central Schedule and add a new Xenta Central Schedule. You are then able to bind the Xenta Schedules to the new Xenta Central Schedule.
- If there are many Xenta Schedules that refer to a Xenta Central Schedule you can use the export function to resolve the problem as shown here
Export the Xenta Central Schedule as shown here
Once you have exported the Xenta Central Schedule you need to edit the exported XML file with Notepad++ and change the Xenta Central Schedule attributes from "lon" to "lon2".
This is what the change should look like
Once this change has been made the XML File can be saved ready for an import to the Server.
Delete the existing Xenta Central Schedule from the database, making sure you check the box keep references.
Then import the edited XML to the server and this will re-establish the Xenta Central Schedule binding with the Xenta Schedules.
