Help Curam prioritize your ideas and requests

The Curam team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list.

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Enhance DbDiff in Upgrade Helper to handle Batch job record changes

The DbDiff tool in the Curam Upgrade Helper doesn't handle BatchProcDesc and BatchParamDesc record sync'ing when there have been changes to Batch job records.

Those 2 tables are populated by execution of script /EJBServer/components/core/data/initial/handcraftedscripts/BatchDesc.sql

Since DbDiff will not parse INSERT INTO...SELECT type statements, it will not be able to generate statements in its output to bring those table sup to date.

Either we need to think of a better way to populate these 2 tables differently, ie. INSERT statements, from generated model files or DMXs, or the dbdiff process needs to be aware of these types of scripts and handle them by instruction of something like, truncate the 2 tables then rerun batchdesc.sql again. However, it needs to be done in a way that means human manual intervention is not needed, ie automated.

(note similar issue exists for security and file Supergroup.sql in /EJBServer/components/core/data/initial/handcraftedscripts/Supergroup.sql...customers have to run SQL to detect NOT IN records and execute manually to make the missing FIDs/SIDs get populated correctly form release to release)

      Hi, was any modification made to the DbDiff component of the upgrade helper to resolve this since 2021? I can always download and check it but thought I'd ask first.

      Thx,

      Andrew

      CoE has not heard much on this issue and we’re not really making use of this. Low priority
