Laptop identifier

From CCMDB Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The laptop identifier is used to figure out which directory to send to on Regional Server.

The naming convention is a letter for the site and a 1 digit number that has no inherent meaning other than to ID a laptop.

Laptop Identifier Assignment

Entry "Laptop_Identifier" added to Settings / A_Info table

Implementation

It would be best if this change was done before Update of D ID to include a laptop identifier

CCMDB.accdb

In CCMDB.accdb, the function LaptopLocation() will return the location of the laptop it is run on.

Background

We are using:

  • single digits numbers for ease of filling TISS (it doesn't accept letters for that field)
  • descending numbers to make it less likely that someone accidentally enters old page number rather than laptop ID
  • single letters to minimize the increase in data

What would need to change?
