Issue in editing views with firebird database.
Resolved
Hi
While trying to edit a view with the firebird database it replicates the columns and gives an error, please have a look at the screenshot added in the attachment.
When we first publish the view it is fine but when it is edited it creates a new set of columns with the same name, it's strange but this is the issue with this specific database only.
Thanks & Regards
Pratap

The same problem 
Hi Pratap,
Thanks for reaching out.
It looks like database tables are constantly being replaced/changed, which be causing the issue in YF view builder. If the tables are created with the exact same name (case inclusive) we shouldn't be seeing these warnings.
Could you please let me know, were these changes were done while Yellowfin was running (may be a report was running in YF/broadcast while the changes were made? ).
When did it first happen?? Now, do we have same table/field names in db when the view was initially created?
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Pratap,
I have installed Firebird server on my local instance, and running it as windows service:
And used Jaybird 4.0.6 for Java 8 / JDBC 4.2 drivers to connect to Firebird's default tables employee.fdb (Firebird\Firebird_3_0\examples\empbuild). I have then created views on this data source, and edit them multiple times but everything seems to be working as expected:
Could you please check if the data source connection is fine?
and also please share logs from the Yellowfin/appserver/logs to see if we have any error messages. (Kindly compress and upload the file to FTP: https://ftp.yellowfin.bi/ and help me with the name of the file uploaded and also the exact timestamp at which the issue was replicated).
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Pratap,
After looking at the logs, I see the following errors:
YF:2022-11-02 08:30:59.091:ERROR (DBUtil) - [41] [F6D964A5] [/MIPreViewEdit.i4] No columns returned for table: TAV_VA_VAMFG_M_WORKCENTER in schema: null sourceId: 128996
YF:2022-11-02 08:30:59.132:ERROR (MIViewProcess) - [41] [F6D964A5] [/MIPreViewEdit.i4] View test_1(138556) was being loaded and the available field list was empty. Aborting with Inconsistency Error.
YF:2022-11-02 08:30:59.133:ERROR (MIViewProcess) - [41] [F6D964A5] [/MIPreViewEdit.i4] Inconsistency Error detected. Aborting to maintain View integrity.
I think YF has sent a query to retrieve columns from this table in firebird db, but unable to fetch any. Not sure why this would happen. Could you please let me know if can create a fresh data source connection to firebird and create a new view and see if its still the same?
Can we enable DEBUG logging temporarily as outlined here to get more information when we reproduce the error again on a fresh ds connection and share the logs folder.
And can we check just incase if we have any DISCONNECTED fields in the YF cofig db. Please refer to the article(Step 3): https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/how-to-fix-fields-missing-from-step-2-of-view-builder-and-reports

Hi Pratap,
Hope you're having a good week.
Just wanted to check-in and see how it's all going. Were you able to create a fresh data source connection to firebird and create a new view? And also please let me know if can grab the requested DEBUG logs.
Regards,
Deepak

Hi Pratap,
Yes, the logs shared previously does have DEBUG logging enabled but I couldn't find any errors related to data source/UI error message.(May be the shared logs are not complete?)
Could you please help me with the timestamp at which the error was replicated? (A screen recording reproducing the error would also help) Once the issue is replicated, we can then take note of the timestamp and then share the entire logs folder to FTP and provide the name. Also, in the previously shared logs file( 'File_17112022-014051.zip'), also it looks like the source.logs are missing which may have errors related to this Firebird source. (Kindly send through the entire logs folder).
Please let me know if we can discuss this over a call. I am usually available between 9-5 AEDT(Melbourne Time)
Warm Regards,
Deepak

Hi Pratap,
Unfortunately, I have missed and couldn't make it to the meeting yesterday. Anyway we are on day light saving( AEDT = IST + 5:30hrs).
Could you please let me know if we could see any new findings? and also if we could grab the fresh DEBUG logs after replicating the issue + timestamp. And it would be great if you could also share the recording while reproducing the error.
Thanks,
Deepak
