Clarity: GL Allocation XOG Causes Updates To last_updated_date Column for the Entire CBK_GL_ALLOCATION_DETAIL table

Posted @ 11/30/2012  09:37 AM By Glen Redden

Description:

XOG write of a single debit rule can cause the LAST_UPDATED_DATE to be updated for the entire CBK_GL_ALLOCATION_DETAIL table on V12 versions; the same problem also affects the CBK_GL_ALLOCATION table on 12.0.5 but not 12.0.6 or higher versions

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisites:
There are some projects in the system where debit rules are set up (prior to today) with data entered in the GL Allocation in TSV area

1. Check CBK_GL_ALLOCATION_DETAIL.LAST_UPDATED_DATE that there are some records with dates from the past
2. Find a debit rule that has a few rows:

chargebacks tab of the project > Debit Rules > click on a rule > click on the GL Account link > create a few rows here

Clarity admin tool

3. XOG read this debit rule (see below for a sample XML)
4. <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
5. <NikuDataBus xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”
6. xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=”/niku/xog/src/webroot/WEB-INF/xog/xsd/nikuxog_read.xsd”>
7. <Header version=”8.0″ action=”read” objectType=”glallocation” externalSource=”NIKU”/>
8. <Query>
9. <Filter name=”description” criteria=”OR”>DEBIT00001</Filter>
10. </Query>
</NikuDataBus>
11. Remove one of the rows from this Debit Rule from the UI, Submit
Clarity admin tool

12. Verify CBK_GL_ALLOCATION_DETAIL.LAST_UPDATED_DATE that a row has been removed but the existing rows retain the old values
13. XOG write in the debit rule allocation output from step 3 to bring back the removed row
14. Verify from the UI that the previously removed row is now added back
15. Check the CBK_GL_ALLOCATION_DETAIL.LAST_UPDATED_DATE column values

Expected Result: Only the rows for the debit rule used in the above XOG has today’s date.

Actual Result: All rows in the entire table CBK_GL_ALLOCATION_DETAIL has today’s day updated to the LAST_UPDATED_DATE column.
