KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Symptoms


The following error message always comes up when navigating to Applications Module under the System Applications Menu:



 

Release


ALL

Cause


This is usually caused by custom business rules that have been implemented on the sys_attachment table that attempts to go back and modify the parent record for the attachment. If that tries to update the app and store related tables, it causes the error. The tables in question are:

  • sys_app
  • sys_store_app
  • sys_remote_app
  • sys_app_version
 

 

Resolution


Try disabling any custom business rules on sys_attachment to identify which business rule is causing the error message. Once the offending rule is identified make sure it's logic keeps it from attempting to update the following tables:

  • sys_app
  • sys_store_app
  • sys_remote_app
  • sys_app_version
