== Rolling out a change to the [[CCMDB.mdb]] ==

This includes changes to the [[s-tables]], the graphical interface and the programming/logic.

# Make sure the change is documented in [[Log]]

# Make sure the version in the version table in the program has been updated to the data of the first set of changes since the previous version

Line 17:

Line 13:

## run the file '''[[updt_all.bat]]'''

## when the file is done, it will show a log; scroll to the end of the log and make sure that all locations received the newest version; if a location didn't, contact them to get them to log out of the program and copy the file manually or re-run the batch file

== Rolling out a change to [[CCMDB_data.mdb ==

This includes changes to the data structure that collected data is stored in, i.e. the [[l-tables]].

When [[CCMDB.mdb]] starts the form [[Main Form]] is opened. It's open event triggers a call to VBA function Database_Starter() in module Global_, which in turn calls function '''DB_Converter''' module DB_Converter.

This string of code checks if the current version of the data is as hard coded in that code; if not it copies down a new version and transfers the data.

Of course this '''needs to be changed to accommodate the change in the data necessitated the change in the first place'''.

'''This process only works if the laptop is attached to the network the first time CCMDB.mdb is started after the new version is downloaded. Data collectors need to be alerted of this. Or, the process needs to be changed to not require this... '''
