Since EBF 12.0.1.3867; Problem with reading long binary values (entity framework)

[Former Member]

Hello,

Since i installed the EBF 12.0.1.3867 i'm having issues with some icons not showing up in my application. All the icons are stored as long binary. On loading the application, a random amount of icons dont show up. I checked, they're stored correctly. What i found out is that every broken icon is 65535 bytes big on reading with entity framework. Strangely that's the UInt16 max value. So i believe they somehow get truncated.

Is that a known bug, and if so, what is the solution?

Cheers.

Yes, this is a known bug - see: CR #742857 and CR #743127. This fixes the cases for both LONG VARCHAR and LONG BINARY, in build 12.0.1.3937.

Very nice,

thanks for the quick answer! 🙂

in build 12.0.1.3937

which is not yet available on Windows, right? (AFAIK, 12.0.1.3924 has just been released.)

[jeff_albion]

Correct, the EBF is not yet available but it has been requested.

Jeff:

Clicking on the link for CR #743127 brings me to an empty bug report page. Is that the right number?

[VolkerBarth]

I'd suspect expect the public CR definition is not yet available - in my experience, it sometimes takes a while until a specified CR is filled with meaningful contents for us (i.e. the public). The internal description will have been filled right from the start...

[jeff_albion]

The details for CR #742857 are the same details as #743127, except 'LONG BINARY' instead of 'LONG VARCHAR' in the description.

I will inquire about the visibility of CR #743127.
