OK, I removed all the SFS tables and views from my DDT profile. I then add security tables back in. There were no data packages listed at all. I was then able to create a package. I then attempted to deploy it to my dev server (thank god).



It removed ALL the SFS tables (bad), and SFS views. It then didn't add them back, and started pucking because there were no tables for the relationships or views.



Oh, I'm having fun....



I've attached the log file.

I'm not sure how this got so mangled.  Just for grins, if you deploy this to a new database instead of trying to update an existing one, does it get created?

Hi Greg.

Before deploying them all back again, did you clear your DDT "Object Name History"?

Arg...those pesky history items (and I knew about that...really I did ). There they were, in all their glory...all the entries for deleting the security tables. I removed them and it's working now Good catch Ivan!



I have one more issue, which is one of my views not being distributed. I'm not sure why yet, but I can't figure it out...I'll be back!

LOL...sounds good

Okey dokey...After looking at the DDT, the missing view on another SQL Server...I could see nothing wrong. So, I just deployed again...and it worked.

This is when the apparent motion of Mercury appears to be going backwards, i.e. the opposite direction as the motion of the other planets. You have to view it for a night or two to see this. In astrology, if I remember correctly, it is a time when things are turned upside down in your life. For me it is more of a catchy phrase. When I wrote it, I didn't realize that Mercury is actually in retrograde right now!



Do a quick search on Google for more info





* OK, I'm overstating/generalizing the state of mind of those living in the beautiful state of California...and it is beautiful. But there are lots of opened minded people there and this is were I learned about Mercury in retrograde, so there
