I have a Deal Entity, it has 1 or more DealPricings and it may or may not have a single DealCost entity depending on Deal.DealType.
We are using a federated persistence context with late instantiation. All of our entities are in a MainPersistenceContext that the grid UI is bound to. However, when we save a row, we spin up a temporarySaveContext, import the row's dirty entities into that temporarySaveContext and then call EntityManager.SaveChangesAsync.

If I add a Deal with a DealPricing, and save, it works fine.
But if I add a Deal with a DealPricing AND a DealCost, the EntityManager.ImportEntities fails:
An entity containing a referenced temporary Id is missing from the list of entities provided. DealCost: -100 was not found.

The entities collection being imported has the following keys:
Deal (-100)
DealPricing (-101)
DealCost (0)

Thanks, Simon.

We think there’s a problem with the Ids, since the key of DealCost is 0 yet the EM is expecting -100.  We’d recommend that you first check the relationships to ensure they’re actually set up as expected.

<AssociationSet Name="Deal_DealCostSet" Association="Png.GcsAg.Model.ServerModelEF.Deal_DealCost">

     <End Role="Deal" EntitySet="Deals" />

     <End Role="DealCost" EntitySet="DealCosts" />

</AssociationSet>

            

In Deal:            

<NavigationProperty Name="DealCost" Relationship="Png.GcsAg.Model.ServerModelEF.Deal_DealCost" FromRole="Deal" ToRole="DealCost" />

          

In DealCost:          

<NavigationProperty Name="Deal" Relationship="Png.GcsAg.Model.ServerModelEF.Deal_DealCost" FromRole="DealCost" ToRole="Deal" />

            

<Association Name="Deal_DealCost">

     <End Role="Deal" Type="Png.GcsAg.Model.ServerModelEF.Deal" Multiplicity="1">

          <OnDelete Action="Cascade" />

     </End>

     <End Role="DealCost" Type="Png.GcsAg.Model.ServerModelEF.DealCost" Multiplicity="0..1" />

     <ReferentialConstraint>

     <Principal Role="Deal">

       <PropertyRef Name="DealId" />

     </Principal>

     <Dependent Role="DealCost">

       <PropertyRef Name="DealId" />

     </Dependent>

     </ReferentialConstraint>

</Association>

          

<AssociationSetMapping Name="Deal_DealCostSet" TypeName="Png.GcsAg.Model.ServerModelEF.Deal_DealCost" StoreEntitySet="DEAL_COSTs">

     <EndProperty Name="Deal">

       <ScalarProperty Name="DealId" ColumnName="DEAL_ID" />

     </EndProperty>

     <EndProperty Name="DealCost">

       <ScalarProperty Name="DealId" ColumnName="DEAL_ID" />

     </EndProperty>

</AssociationSetMapping>


The configuration of the relationship looks right in the EDMX.

The Storage entity does not have the StoreGeneratedPattern="Identity" tag on the Key property. Should it?

<EntityType Name="DEAL_COST">
<Key>
<PropertyRef Name="DEAL_ID" />
</Key>
<Property Name="DEAL_ID" Type="int64" Nullable="false" />
<Property Name="COST" Type="decimal" />
<Property Name="DEAL_COST_TYPE_ID" Type="int64" />

The PK for DealCost should be the same value as the PK for Deal, and I’m not sure why it’s 0.  If you do something like the following:

  Deal deal = em.CreateEntity<Deal>();

 // … set deal property values

Ddeal.AddToManager();

  DealCost dealCost = em.CreateEntity<DealCost>();

  dealCost.Deal = deal;

  // … set other dealCost values

  dealCost.AddToManager();

… then deal.DealId should equal dealCost.DealId.  Since it doesn’t – can we see the code snippet for how these entities are created to see what might be going wrong?
