Deployment with an in-place revision change fails

You might have requested an in-place revision for a study version that doesn't exist in the target deployment instance. In this case, Oracle Central Designer ignores the request, and the in-place revision change is not completed for the study version that does not exist. A warning appears in the deployment package, but the deployment fails.

This can occur when you copy an in-place revision Configuration from one deployment instance to another. You can only copy an in-place revision Configuration from one deployment instance to another if the source and target deployment instances do not use the same study version number and contain the same path information for the study object on which you made an in-place revision change.

You must manually ensure that this criterion is met, as Oracle Central Designer does not validate this information before you copy the in-place revision Configuration.

Note:

When a study designer performs an in-place revision, Oracle Central Designer provides a list of available study versions in Oracle InForm that are eligible for in-place revision. However, if an Oracle InForm user does a trial copy or trial reset before the in-place revision, the study versions in Oracle InForm and the ones in Oracle Central Designer are out of sync. Make sure that you refresh your in-place revision in Oracle Central Designer before deploying. To refresh your in-place revision, go to the IPR Configuration dialog box (where you create an in-place revision change), and click the Refresh Versions button.
