variables values lost suddenlyÂ
Question
Hi all,
Variables suddenly began to lose value. I added a bit of code in preparation to fill a variable (RecordList) structured type. When I debug, in preparation with a break point at the end, same variable still holds the value loaded from the query, but when I click a button that redirects to another action, some of the structure attributes loaded lose value and become 0.
We have other cases e another espaces where some variables only keep their value in actions where there are initialize, when invocation another action their values are lost.
Why? This never happened before in early 5.1 version. Now we use version 7, is there a limit of variables in same web screen?
Preparation END
Gravar START
Ps: Sorry my english ;)

Hi Hugo,
Is the value of those 2 attributes used anywhere in the application logic?
Looks to me that they are being optimized because they are not used.

Hi João Rosado,
Yes, the values are used to fill input paramenters in other querys in preparation and in another actions. The problem is that, and i don't know how and why, the values became empty (null or zero), as you can see on print screens.
Ps: If necessary i can provide you the *.oml.

Hi Hugo,
Aren't you making an assign to that variable in the middle of your code?
This occurs only for that variable?
Just
as a test
,
have
you tried to
map these
variables to
a local copy
of this structure
?
Only
to verify
that
behavior
in a variable that
is not being
used.
After
doing this
,
debugging
and
yet can't take
any
elation
of what is
happening
here
you can
put here
the
OML
.
Best Regards,

Hi Gonçalo,
No, i'm not making assign in middle of my code. I did what you tell me to do (create a variable, testvariable, same record type, i even create one normal variable(idperiodicidade) that recieves one value of structed that becames empty.
Preparation End
Action Start
As you can see, now all de attributes became null.
Find Usages
I search for find usages and as you can see only when i fill the variable.
This problem could be related with excess of variables, actions, web screens? Because i have many applications in same espace.
Ps:I hope you do not get confused with my explanation.

Is it possible to create a sample espace where it also happens?

Hi,
You said "
I search for find usages and as you can see only when i fill the variable.", does that mean that the variable is never read anywhere?
If they are not read, they will be optimized if they are not necessary.

João Rosado,
I only does that to prove Gonçalo (
Only
to verify
that
behavior
in a variable that
is not being
used.
) that i'm not
making an assign to that variable in the middle of code.
But the variable rcdPeriodoReporte is
used to fill input paramenters in other querys in preparation and in another actions.

@João Rosado: I just ask that to observe the behaviour in that variable.
However, since you are using it in the Preparation, the problem can be right there...
But the best way to check that is giving a eSpace with a use case where we can see the related behaviour and check on debugging where the variable is cleaned..

I would like to see an eSpace with this happening.
Till now looks to me the "normal" optimizer behavior.
Bottom line rule is: If in all actions a value is never read before it is written, then it not is stored/loaded. (optimized because it would not be needed)
If this is not true and still it is not storing the values, then it can be some sort of bug ...but really need to see the logic to confirm.

Hi agree with you, João,
Without an example I can't see any problem in the code that could origin this.
Lets way for an eSpace with an example of this.
Kind Regards,

Hi all,
I tried to explain but possibly was not enough, i even put prints to show what was happening. This espace has gone through several versions of OutSystems (v4, v5 and v7 recently) and has plenty applications, and this will probably have something to do with it, because we never had problems so far.
I can not send you the space, because it have multiple espaces references and the tables are distributed.
Our company has a few hours of support and I will contact OutSystems.
Thank you very much for your help, but because of the urgency can not waste more time trying to explain. I apologize if I have caused you a lost of your time.
Again thanks a lot.
Ps: I wiil put the post the eventual solution :)
Regards,
Hugo Castro
