- Can customized .ser files be copied from the source to the target, or is it necessary to use enumcustomize to re-add custom states?
- User is getting error:
wt.pds.exception - Suppressing internal message (wt.pom.pomResource/0) wt.pom.PersistenceException: A persistence error occurred. System message follows: Nested exception is: wt.pom.DatastoreException: A SQL error has occurred. Database system message follows: Nested exception is: wt.util.WTInvalidParameterException: No EnumeratedType exists with "CLOSURE1" as its internal value. at wt.fc.EnumeratedTypeUtil.toEnumeratedType(EnumeratedTypeUtil.java:311) at wt.fc.EnumeratedType.toEnumeratedType(EnumeratedType.java:431) at wt.lifecycle._State.toState(_State.java:29) at wt.lifecycle._PhaseTemplate.readExternal(_PhaseTemplate.java:280) at wt.pds.WTResultSet.readObject(WTResultSet.java:679) at wt.pds.PersistableItemBuilder.build(PersistableItemBuilder.java:559)
- What are some of the possible errors that could occur if the custom states are not implemented correctly on the target before upgrade?
