Summary

Symptoms

When performing Upgrading and Patching Validation, a validation error may occur in one of the following formats:

• "ISDEV : error Val0008 In the Upgrade table, the Action Property [1] is not listed as a member of SecureCustomProperties. The defined upgrade may not function properly."
• "ISDEV : error Val0008 In the Upgrade table, the Action Property [1] is not public. The defined upgrade will not function properly."
• "ISDEV : error Val0008 In the Upgrade table, the Action Property [1] is already defined in the property table. The defined upgrade will not function properly."
• "ISDEV : error Val0008 In the Upgrade table, the Action Property [1] is used more than once. This may cause undesirable results at runtime."
• "ISDEV : error Val0008 In the Upgrade table, there exists a record where the MaxVersion [2] is less than the MinVersion [3]. This will cause unpredictable results at run time."

[1] is a placeholder that contains the name of the Action Property specified in the Upgrade table. [2] and [3] contain version numbers specified in the Upgrade table.

Cause

This is a validation error that only applies to major upgrades and ensures the integrity of the ActionProperty and Version elements of all records in the Upgrade table.
