I've Altered an existing table to make it temporal, Then I updated the model from the database. I encountered with these error, with the two new columns I added to the table:
Error 3004: Problem in mapping fragments starting at line 1388:No mapping specified for properties TbCities.SysStartTime, TbCities.SysEndTime in Set TbCities. An Entity with Key (PK) will not round-trip when: Entity is type [DiERPModel.TbCities] 1389 15 DiERP
This is my query for altering table:
--Step 1. Adding nullable the columns
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ADD SysStartTime datetime2 NULL
GO
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ADD SysEndTime datetime2 NULL
GO
--Step 2 Adding the default constraints
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Cities_SysStartTime DEFAULT GETDATE() FOR SysStartTime;
GO
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Cities_SysEndTime DEFAULT CAST('9999-12-31 23:59:59.9999999' AS DATETIME2) FOR SysEndTime;
--Step 3 Updating the column
UPDATE Common.TbCities
SET SysStartTime = '19000101 00:00:00.0000000'
,SysEndTime = '99991231 23:59:59.9999999'
GO
--Step 4 Setting NOT NULL to the columns
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ALTER COLUMN SysStartTime datetime2 NOT NULL
GO
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ALTER COLUMN SysEndTime datetime2 NOT NULL
GO
--Step 5 Adding PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME option
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities ADD PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (SysStartTime, SysEndTime)
GO
--Step 6 Setting SYSTEM_VERSIONING property
ALTER TABLE Common.TbCities
SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE = Common.TbCities_History))
GO
