Error UserManagement when upgrading from V3.15 to V3.18

[funkey]

Hi,

I have troubles when upgrading some of my projects from V3.15 to V3.18.

User management rights does not work anymore and I get following errors in log

Code: Select all

WCCOAui      (9), 2022.06.02 12:34:12.328, CTRL, SEVERE,      0, , Invalid content, cannot be converted to dyn_uint

I have no problem with this when upgrading a project from V3.17 to V3.18.
All projects have the same core files and scripts, but I can't figure out what is going wrong with the projects from version V3.15.
There must be something wrong with the AREA_PERMISSION or with the AREA_IDS.

I'm still using getUserPermissionForArea() and I know this is deprecated, but it still works fine in projects made with V3.17 and V3.18, so this should not be a problem. And system panels where nothing has been changed are affected to this issue as well. One project even makes the WCCOAui crash (block) when just opening the standard 'system overview' panel. Then you see again the 'dyn_uint conversion error' in log file.

Is this a known issue? Can someone help me to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards
Christoph

Hello,

I have found another issue with upgrading from V3.15 to V3.18.
If I want to start the database configuration panel from system management panel, then i get an error in log file.

Code: Select all

    Line: 1777, getPanelSize, Kann die Datei para/archive/archive_select.pnl nicht öffnen

So it wants to open a panel that does not exist anymore. This is because panels are now in folders NGA and RDB.
Where do I have to make changes, that this will work as expected? I tried useNGA=0 in config file, but this did not help of course.

Thanks!

i had the change archive_select.pnl to archive_HDB_select.pnl

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I copied 'archive_HDB_select.pnl' to 'archive_select.pnl' in installation path. This works for this issue, but I don't think this is the official way. Something must have gone wrong with this projects, that this happenes when upgrading to V3.18.

At least the last error sounds like you have files from the base WinCC OA installation "overwritten/copied" in your project (or in a subproject).
These files then still point to the old place of other files. I would check if there are "overwritten" files.

I already checked this and renamed all overparametrized panels and scripts. This did not help.
While startup of the project I get always this errors:

Code: Select all

WCCOActrl    (1), 2022.06.03 12:41:26.365, CTRL, SEVERE,      0, , Invalid content, cannot be converted to dyn_uint
WCCOActrl    (1), 2022.06.03 12:41:26.379, CTRL, SEVERE,      0, , Invalid content, cannot be converted to dyn_uint

This comes from 'pvss_scripts.lst' and ther from the scripts 'commandChannel.ctl' and 'updateUserGroups.ctl'.
And everywhere in UI when user permissions are requested, then this error comes again and permission fails.

This issue is already known and is fixed with 3.18 P010.
When you cannot do the upgrade to P010 please get in contact with your common WinCC OA support. A simple script is available which solves this problem.
