Hi,


I've developed some smart objects on my dev environment linked to service object instances, when moving over to the client's environment I get some errors when deploying to the client's server because the GUID of the client's service object instances are different.


It seems I have to disconnect the smart object from the service object instance (delete the methods) and re-define the smart object methods as to link it to the other service object instances.


Am I missing something?, I've got smart objects with 50+ properties and to re-link this when deploying to the client's server is a waste of time.

I am also worried about this.  Moving from development server to our test server, I have had to go into the database and manually change the guid of the service to match what it was in development. There must be an easier way to deploy smart objects and smart services, as we cant just have our system admin digging around the database.

Here is a blackmarket utility I just added for this kind of situation.  This utility takes a different approach.  It can modify the GUID of an existing Service Instance so you can make the GUIDs match between systems.
