Risk Logs & Notes

Date Owner Note
04-18-2024 Chris Freeman DB team conducted testing, and seems to be not a system collation issue, but a data entry issue. In 2023 the AR team began revising their date formats based on new management direction. Issue could be resolved by a revisions script.
03-14-2024 Chris Freeman Meeting with DB team was inconclusive, as some members feel the 2019 collation should continue working with the 2012 records.
03-04-2024 Chris Freeman The Finance team implemented a different collation when they upgraded in 2023 to SQL2019. But this ws a one off. Met with Richard today, who stated IT was aware of the upgrade. Scheduling review with IT, Bonds and DB team, to understand depth of the issue
