I need to change the length of a sub account segment. We use segment #1 for our locations. When Solomon was installed 20 years ago, we only had two locations so the number 1 was entered for the length. Now we have eight locations and planning to open more. I need to increase the length number to two. I assume the change will input a zero before the number such as 01. What will happen to the past data that used only the single digit 1 for the location?
You would first need to use the PSTL tool to change all of your existing subaccounts to match the desired new format and structure (e.g. change 1 to 01, 2 to 02, etc.). You can then change your FlexKey Definitions, etc. to change the Segment # length to 2 digits.
Hi TBuck,
Upon testing, if you change the number of characters in a segment, it could corrupt the data in your database. A subaccount of 01 is not going to be the same as 1 so that data will not be pulled over to the new subaccount combination. You will also have to generate all new subaccount combinations.
I hope this information is helpful.
Thank you,
Tasha
