NEWWORLD is currently on version 10.1.4.8.

To resolve this issue our team had advised the client to delete the failed batch for reprocessing however, as soon as the batch for 315 entries was deleted it marked all the entries in the TNA Database as unprocessed. (150,000)

Kindly requesting if you could review this in version 10.150 

Copy of the DB has been uploaded to the FTP site. (NEWWORLD_LINKSOFT_11250 and NEWWORLD_TNA_11250) 

Kind Regards
Irfaz Ahmad

Development work for this case has been completed.

The change will be available in version:10.150 & 11.003

1. The following changes were made(Include Database object names, Program classes and any other relevant information):

  1. Changed process ESS021, ESS022 & ESS023 to verify if either of the processes is running before executing the process.
  2. Corrected "Timesheet log delete" process to correctly mark the entries as unprocessed in the TNA database.

2. Affected Areas:

  1. Timesheet Import ~> Timesheet Log. Import timesheet from TNA database, then delete the entries imported. This should mark the entries that were imported as unprocessed.

3. Notes: 

With the setup for Time and Attendance, I have found the following issues:

  1. There are about 135,000 entries in the staging table which causes the computations to take a long time to complete. To resolve this do the following:
    1. Mark the entries in "Timesheet" menu as completed OR
    2. Enable process ESS023 - Automatically archive timesheet entries. Recommend to have the archive days as 30.
  2. Process ESS021 - Timesheet Import Process is scheduled to run every hour. Running this process every hour would make the "Timesheet" menu unusable as the system would be rebuilding the timesheet values every hour. Recommend to run this once at 7 am.
  3. Process ESS022 - Timesheet Import Manual Compute is scheduled to run every day at 8 am. This process is used to compute timesheet values when the control values have changed such as editing shift time start, end, etc. The frequency of this process should be changed to "Manual" and should be used only to manually recompute entries.

The DeadLock error is caused when both process ESS021 and ESS022 runs at the same time. We have added checks in version 10.150 to prevent executing when either of the processes is executing.

4. Next Step: UAT
