PCD Error when Moving, Copying or Changing ID of an object

[Former Member]

"Error! Due to an unexpected error the action will be canceled."

We get this error message on some pcd objects: iviews, pages, roles etc, and it prevent us from moving, copying or changing the ID of an object in the pcd.

We could not identify the cause of it though... Has anyone seen this before? Do you know why it happens? Do you know of a solution, other than delete and recreate objects?

Thanks!

Enas,

Have you tried exporting the content as part of a Portal package, deleting, then reimporting?

Hi Steve,

I didn't try doing that. You are right, that could be a more efficient way of recreating the objects if there is a bulk of them that need replacement.

But do you know the reason that these objects get corrupted in the first place? Because even after replacing some, they were corrupted again... So I'm thinking there might be a particular action that increases the possibility of corrupting the object. One that should be avoided perhaps?

Thanks!

I encountered a similar problem with EP6 against SQL Server. We never got to the bottom of why it happened, but we assumed it was to do with the database itself as the problem occured after a backup snapshot.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem while moving some standard package iviews,pages,roles to custom folder.

Please suggest how this problem can be resolved.

Is there any other way to perform this action.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Rajani
