Troubleshooting Conversions to Grid Layout


The error messages listed in Table 43 may appear during the conversion. These errors appear in a dialog box at the end of the conversion process and are written to a log file (awtconversion.txt) that is located in tools_install\temp.

Table 43.  Conversion to Grid Layout Error Messages and Solutions

Error Message

Cause

Solution

Controls or labels cannot be mapped.

May be due to an Applet Web Template Item not being explicitly mapped to a control on the original applet Web template. Each Web template item must have the Control property populated to appear on the new grid-based applet Web template.

Use Applet Layout Editor to map controls to the applet layout. See Adding Existing Controls and List Columns to Applet Layouts.

Applet cannot be converted.

Applet does not have a Web template associated with it.

Applet class or associated Web templates are not supported for grid layout. See Applet Web Templates that Cannot Be Converted to a Grid Layout.

Associate a Web template to the applet, by selecting the applet, then choosing Edit Web Layout.

The Applet Web Template...is configured for more than one application context.

The wizard only converts controls that are valid in the application context selected in the Configuration Context Toolbar at the time of the conversion. For example, if Siebel ERM is selected, only controls valid in the context of Siebel ERM are converted. If controls are not valid in the selected application context, a dialog box appears giving you the option of canceling the conversion or continuing. If you choose to continue, the controls that are not converted are listed in a dialog box and are written to the error log file.

Note that the Expression property of the Web Template Item object type determines the application context for a control.

Select the appropriate application in the Application field of the Configuration Context toolbar and run the Conversion Wizard again.

If the configuration Context toolbar is not displayed, choose View >Toolbars > Configuration Context.
