Bula Team,

We connected via TeamViewer and Teams to resolve the issue, but it was getting difficult to analyse the data.

The following was done:

  1. Upgraded the current database to Version 16.03.260723P.GA. using the case reference E03005 on the same issue. However, the issue remained.
    1. Current Version - 15.90.251107
    2. Version 16.03.260326.GA
    3. Applied Patch -16.03.260723.
    4. SQL Collation: Latin1_General_CI_AS
  2. Connected with Development on site to resolve the issue for Payrun ID: 6133 under Company ID: TAPL
  3. Since it was difficult to use the tools to analyse the data better, we requested a backup from Prageeth
    1. A current backup was taken
    2. The backup was sent to Sanjay via OneDrive to resolve the issue.

Next Steps:

  1. Restore the backup from the OneDrive link
  2. Analyse the issue and provide a fix.

We will update the case once the issue is fixed.

Hi Sitla, seems like the upgrade from V14 to V15 was incomplete. The comment field was changed from 32 characters to (max) characters.
To fix their issue, you can run this script below. I will check what else is missing tomorrow and let you know

--Run this on their database
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sys.columns WHERE name = N'comment' AND object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[PR_HIST_PAY_DET]'))
BEGIN
    ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PR_HIST_PAY_DET] ALTER COLUMN [comment] VARCHAR(MAX) NULL;
END
ELSE
BEGIN
    ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PR_HIST_PAY_DET] ADD [comment] VARCHAR(MAX) NULL;
END
