CD?

Subject: [U2] UniObjects intermittent problem

We have a process that 99.9% of the times works great.  Considering, I have
57
missed up records in the last 4 months and we do an average of 2000 per day.
We use both VB6 and VB.NET and it happens for both.

Sometimes the writefield wipes out all the fields upto the field it updated.
This makes me think for some reason when it goes to do the write.field it
does
not see the record and thinks it is writing a new record.

There is 3 different scenarios this happens.

1.  PC process connects to the Universe, selected the data, processes each
record, passes the data from each record to WORD for a word merge, prints
the
resulting document, then updates via the writefield the date flag showing
the
record was printed.  In this instance it is field 4, when it happens here,
the
record is thus

<1>
<2>
<3>
<4> 13854

This process connects every some often (5 minutes at the moment - we can
change the timing) and does this through out the day.  Plus we run this
process in a batch mode in the evening, this picks up any record we set to
be
in the batch process, select ranges from 700-3500 records.

2.  Add another twist to this.  We also have a VB product that connects to
Universe, passes in data, a UV subroutine creates the record in batch mode
so
it is not picked up immediately by the above process.  Once the record is
created, the VB process attaches files to it, then does a write.field to
change the mode from batch to immediate.  (simple Y/N field).  It will also
blank out everything but the 2 fields it was trying to update.

3.  Add a 3rd twist, it makes it through 1 or both processes listed above
and
the document is being faxed instead of printed.  We write back a field
showing
it went "Y" or it failed "F" .  When it does this, the record is blank
except
for the "Y" or "F" in field 26.

Any ideas I can pass to our VB folks?

Thanks,

Brenda Price
