Re: Data Loss
Dear All,
Thanks for all your responses.
Please find the attached forms in excel which will make my explanation
much easier.
Data loss normally occur on HF1 & HF8 and it is on a particular
sections of these forms.
The said sections of these forms had been highlighted in yellow.
Once data had been entered and submitted by clicking "complete"; If
analysis is done after or the next day those highlighted sections will
remain blank.
Ant,
1. Before i was worried about those future dates but with your
explanation i am not too worried. But is there anyway we can stop it.
2. I am sure i had explained much better my scenario above and if you
have any further question i will be ready to answer and give you
update.
3. For this question i am not sure we have any custom period and i
can't really explain this "periodtypeid of 292091"
4. With reference to batch process, we only have data analytic which
runs at a certain period at night.
Thanks in advance for your usual cooperation.
