Intermittently, contents of all the com_var field (eg Postal code or overstay color) in TMPV2 are corrupted/scrambled into "Chinese characters" on send.

This started 2013-06-05. Initially the thought was that doing a compact on the data file before sending would fix the problem. CCMDB.mdb was updated as part of CCMDB.mdb_Change_Log_2013#ver_2013-06-10 to compact/repair to run each time the program is started. However, there appear to have been cases where the problem has happened even right after a compact.

Troubleshooting Log

  • As of CCMDB.mdb_Change_Log_2013#ver_2013-08-12 all data incl. tmp will be sent to Centralized_data.mdb. For the moment this is in duplication of sending to TmpV2_1.mdb, but it will replace that process eventually. In the meantime I would be interested to see if, in the cases where Chinese characters are being sent, both targets get Chinese characters. Will check as I see an update in the occurrence log.

    • Template:Discussionif there is a problem in centralized and Pagasa has to edit or changed especially if there are lots of them to do, working in Access in TmpV2 or centralized, it is extremely slow to work with. This is a big concern that she has raise.Trish Ostryzniuk 11:11, 2013 August 29 (CDT)
      • I agree, this and the not-sending of some patients are my first priority to fix right now. However, I have never been able to duplicate this problem on my PC, so I can't tell if it is fixed other than it not popping up any longer. I am not ignoring this, really!

      • when you say extremely slow, is that a question of the interface being tedious, or is the response of the program slow? Ttenbergen 11:14, 2013 August 29 (CDT)

    • HSC/B3-D5 Batch#33
      • no problems for a while, but today Lou had a chinese character in her send... I emailed her and Pagasa to find out if they have any idea why there were chinese characters... Ttenbergen 15:54, 2013 August 15 (CDT)
        • comment from Lou: "When I came in to work Wed, I remember now that I did not fully shut down computer but just did my “News and Backup” and logged off. (Went to the biffy and forgot to totally shut down). I only noticed when I came in next day and didn’t have such a long start up time. Maybe this was the issue as it wouldn’t have booted up with the latest changes in CMDB or server?
