Michael,

thanks for the tip. I got the initial certificates working by creating the
table "sequence_csr".

In order to get the Batch Process Quick import working I had to also create:

sequence_global_id
sequence_audittrail
sequence_crr
sequence_data

I am a bit confused why the Initialisation process did not create these
tables.

Anyway, the bpCreatePin function works and I have lots of data now in the
"data" table corresponding to my new users and PINS, e.g.

|   229504 |     25216 | BATCH_HASHED_PIN         |          NULL | NULL  
      |        NULL | 9f97e4bb37359dce6fb232239b748d4878f84107         |

Is it right that I have NULL values  corresponding to "array_counter ",
"content_type" and "int_content" ? These are the default values, but I
would expect them to be poulated describing the otehr data in the table. I
seem to remember in the old days, NULL values indicated an error.

So, on to the design.

>From what I can see you have moved the old batch processor directory
structure (e.g. "bp/private/purePIN") to the data base in the new set of
tables "sequence_*". You also have a table "statemachine" which is doing
the job of the old text file to maintain the status of each of the
users/process.

Looking at the create_pin code, all references to the file system have
been removed, and the work is done on the data base.

This looks good to me and is as we discussed it at the Workshop. Have you
got any design notes that I can see ? As I don't really understand the
"dummy" values in the sequence_* tables. It would be nice to understand
what you are planning to do with these colunms.

I also presume that the other new table "private" is for management of the
private keys better when generated server side.
