4.15.3.5.4. No correlation to the old dataset found

If in an update version a directory, project or certain characteristic is missing, then it can be the case that LinkDB links have no target.

In these cases, the Update Manager [Update manager] indicates this in the directory structure with a red cross in the directory structure. The cross overlays the respective basic symbol (directory , project line ).

Example: Project and so logically also the lines do not exist anymore: Missing assignment not confirmed yet

Example: Project and so logically also the lines do not exist anymore: Missing assignment not confirmed yet

As soon as a certain characteristic is selected in the directory structure, the missing correspondence can also be seen on the right in the Line assignment [Line mapping] dialog area:

  • there is no entry under Assigned project

  • there are no entries in the New data record [New dataset] column

  • No table is displayed

A missing automatic assignment of a project does not necessarily mean, that it does not exist; it could be that only the name has been changed.

For editing of assignments you have two options:

  1. Confirm missing assignment

    You can now confirm the missing assignment in the New data record [New dataset] column in the Line assignment [Line mapping] dialog area by clicking on the green tick to confirm.

    In the directory structure, in the respective line the original symbol , marking a not available dataset, is overlapped with the green checkmark.

    -> In the LinkDB the link for the new dataset is deleted.

    Example: Project and so logically also the lines do not exist anymore: Missing assignment approved for a certain line

    Example: Project and so logically also the lines do not exist anymore: Missing assignment approved for a certain line

  2. Assign new line/project manually

    Now there are two further cases:

    • A new line assignment shall be made in the same project.

      -> To do this, change the line in the table and confirm with the command Confirm assignment [Approve assignment].

    • A new line assignment shall be made in another project.

      Here again there are several possibilities:

      • Search function ( Search tab page)

        For projects that could not be mapped or if an incorrect project was assigned, use the search function Search project and search for a similar sounding project name or similar values.

        1. Click on the Search project icon.

        2. -> The Search or select project dialog box opens.

        3. Select the Search tab page.

        4. Enter variables and values of the old dataset. If you know an order number which is shown in any column, you can also search with this.

        5. Click Start search.

          -> The search results are listed.

        6. Double-click on the desired search result.

          -> The new project is displayed under Line assignment [Line mapping] -> Assigned project.

          The values are entered under New data record [New dataset]. (If you have double-clicked at project level, you may need to adjust the table row)

          Proceed with the other project lines in the same way.

        7. Confirm the assignment by clicking on the green checkmark .

          -> The respective confirmation message appears.

          Furthermore a green checkmark is displayed in the index tree on the edited project line.

      • Search function ( Select [Choose] tab page)

        Another option to find the appropriate dataset is to open the new index tree in parallel to the old index tree and to search via the directory structure.

        1. Click on the Search project icon.

          -> The Search or select project dialog box opens.

        2. Select the Select [Choose] tab page.

        3. Open the tree.

          [Tip]Tip

          You can keep the Search dialog box open during the entire assignment process and work quickly in this way.

          [Note]Note

          Color display in the index tree depends on role settings. If you want an up-to-date display you have to update the ERP index after changes. (For the process of assignment this is not essential.)

        4. Double-click on the appropriate project.

          -> The values of a standard line are entered in the New data record [New dataset] or Selected data record [Selected dataset] column.

        5. In the table, select the correct line.

        6. Confirm the assignment by clicking on the green checkmark . Proceed in the same way with the other project lines.

      • Context menu command Change target project

        In clear cases, you can use the context menu command Change target project to assign a different project directly.

        -> The Select project [Choose project] dialog box opens.

        Select the desired project in the index tree and confirm by clicking Select [Choose].

      No matter which variant you have selected: Finally, confirm the new assignment by clicking on the green tick Confirm [Approve assignment] assignment.

      Now the symbol for an assigned and approved dataset is displayed in the index tree, in the respective line.

      Example: entire project changed using "Change target project [Change target project] "

      Example: entire project changed using "Change target project [Change target project] "
