I modified 2 screens:
1) CN.SUV.00
2) 03.272.00
Then I exported each one. My .CST file for CN.SUV.00 just came out fine. But the other 03.272.00 simple gets created with zero byte. Its empty. Any ideas/clues as to what and how? We use SL 6.5
TIA

Nayan,
This is a tough one. So these are "all users" customizations. I suppose you are in Dynamics SL in the Self customization level. When you open the screen, is there an * on the title bar of the screen showing that it is customized?
Have you tried to change your customization level to All Users and then open the screen? Is there an * in the title bar. What if you try and export the customization at the All Users level?
I also wonder if you add another customization to the screen (just a simple one such as adding a label), does the export create a valid cst file?
Above are just a few ideas to try and narrow down the issue. Other than that, maybe a comparison of the screen to a standard one will show you the customizations that are currently in place. Then you could try to recreate them on an uncustomized version of the screen.
Thank you for the response.
1) Only CustomVBA has the records.
2) Its a VBA with All Users level
3) There are 5 records with Sequence 300; sorry no other level.
TIA,
We don't have anything to provide as far as extracting the customization programatically. Unfortunately, we can't identify the customization by looking at the records in the table. I assume you can open the screen. You could compare it to a standard screen in the demo database perhaps and try and narrow down the differences. Then look for any VB code that would have been added in the VB Editor. You could copy that out and paste it into a Word doc and then use it in your attempt to recreate the customizations. I have a few other comments.
1. Which tables do you have records in for screenid 0327200? Did you check Custom, Custom2 and CustomVBA?
2. If you have records in Custom or Custom2, they are most likely BSL customizations. When you export the customizations, are you choosing both BSL and VBA? If so, try just exporting the VBA.
3. Are there records at more than one level such as All Users and Self etc? Maybe try and export at a different level to see if a file will be created successfully.
We haven't seen where the process creates a zero byte file.
I have exported over and over again just that screen but it always creates zero byte file. I think the record in CustomVBA or Custom2 table is definitely corrupted. Recreating the customization would be a long haul as I dont have any details of those customizations prior to one I plan to add. (I know - you must be saying ahhh...; I'm documenting everything now and as part of it I'm versioning these export files.)
Is there a way I could extract the pieces from those tables programmatically? The PropData field seems to a binary one and may be sucking that data from it will make sense? Do you have details on the its format/structure?
TIA
TIA,
Thank you for your submission to the Dynamics SL forums.
I created a simple customization to the 03.272.00 screen and exported the customization. It exported without a problem. So I'm assuming a bug isn't causing your issue. I am curious as to how you were able to create a zero byte file. Have you tried the export again maybe just selecting that screen? Or maybe the customization records in the CustomVBA or Custom2 table are corrupt. Perhaps create the customization again and attempt to export it again.
