Topic: New version of NBN Exchange export addin
The addin to export records from Recorder 6 in a format suitable for submission to the NBN Gateway has been updated. It can be downloaded from JNCC's Recorder 6 addin page.
There are two changes:
A bug in the SQL Server user defined function that outputs vague dates to a text string has been fixed. The bug led to dates from March onwards in leap years being one day out.
Recorder and Determiner names are truncated to 140 characters (instead of 255 characters previously). This is because these items are stored in fields of this shorter length on the Gateway database.
Please note that (as documented in the ReadMe.txt file supplied with the addin) it is necessary to uninstall the previous version of the addin, restart Recorder 6 and then install the new version. This will ensure that the functions and stored procedures it uses are re-applied to the SQL Server database so that the new version of the date function gets loaded properly.
According to the ReadMe file, the addin works with Recorder version 6.13 or later. The update was developed on the latest version (6.17.2) and. in addition, has been tested on version 6.15.
