The probability that DBU will be upgraded where I work is very slim. It is nice to know that SQL had no issues, allowing me to bypass the delete and add sequence I have had to deal with.

Thanks all.

We experienced what you're experiencing before as well. It's possible that it was on DBU 7.0, though I really don't know. We're on 9.0 and haven't had any issues.

The sa does not like to work on trivial things like updates. Maddening, when the employer pays for support, I can't recall if this is the version installed during the upgrade to v5r4 or if another upgrade was finally done. Based on the below, I would guess we are way out of date. But, what would I know- the sa is treated like an infallible person.

DBU 7.0

Release Date: 7/14/2006
Installed Date: 7/17/2006

John,

Did you contact Prodata's technical support? They are really good and
should be able to help you. I do remember a problem with the updating
of a key field. The current version does not have the issue.

Thank you,

Subject: DBU oddity

The system has an exit point program installed to associate an IP
adress with a specific device. My involvement is to maintain the datafile.

When networking was started, there weren't a lot of devices, and the
addresses were assigned to 172.16.x.x. The corporate office wants all
the hospitals in the system to convert to a 10.x.x.x addressing
method. Since all the locations use NAT to connect to the private
network and then through the corporate office to the outside world, that doesn't make sense to me.
Is there any rationale for changing addressing behind a NAT firewall?

The above is to explain my second question. I was told that an IP
address for a device needed to be changed from 172.16.x.x to 10.0.x.x
- I can't recall the exact addresses.

The file used for device assignment is keyed by IP address.

Using DBU, I found the old IP address and updated it to the new one.
Except that it didn't update. I had seen this before and wondered
about it. This IP address change was needed rather quickly, so I
tried SQL, a simple UPDATE. That worked.

Is there anything that would explain why DBU would act like it changed
the key field, but didn't - after at least two attempts, but SQL did,
immediately? Only a guess, but is an object lock involved.
