Symptoms

Database synchronization fails to create a view that has a dependency on another view that does not exist in the database. This can happen when the dependency between the two views is created using static code rather than metadata. The database synchronization does not know the dependency exists, so it cannot sync the two views in the incorrect order. If the view with the dependency is synced first, you will see the following error message:
"System.InvalidOperationException: Database execution failed: Invalid object name ''." This is because the dependent view does not exist in the database yet.

Resolution

The changes in the hotfix make sure this issue is resolved within the database synchronization module. If the error message listed in the title is encountered, the view that fails to sync will be added to a list of views to retry synchronizing later. The database synchronization module will continue to sync all other views. When the view that fails originally is re-synchronized, the view that it is dependent on will now exist in the database. The view that fails previously will now be added successfully.
