I've often thought that I've missed my calling. I should have been a Quality Analyst for software companies. If there's a bug in software, I always find it....whether I'm looking for it or not!
During our N1 (Other Addresses) and N2 (Employment) conversions we noticed that the conversion process had created duplicate addresses in a certain situation. We were able to offer Datatel a scenario where everything was set up properly on Benefactor, but where we ended up with the same address being created twice in Colleague. They have acknowledged that this is a bug - one they discovered a few weeks before we brought it to their attention - and that a fix for it is coming in the January CA software update.
That's good news. It means we can ignore the 5000+ address ambiguities we got with the N1 and N2 conversions - at least for now. In the second conversion test we'll probably still get some address ambiguities, but we'll deal with those then.
Otherwise the conversions are still going well, with small numbers of errors. We're getting very good at sifting through the reports and figuring out what needs to be done to make an error go away. And we're starting to keep notes on each type of error we get and how we handle it - which should save time when we run the second conversion.
