    By udo effler 2 decades ago

    Hello,

    if I start a notes to notes datamove with update target document no documents are updated in the target database.

    Everytime the log said:

    processed: 2

    found by key: 2

    updated: 0

    • Simple possible explantion but need more info

      Hi Udo,



      The simplest explanation I can think of is that both Source and Target fields have the same value (so no change required). The Data Moving Animal pushes data from one document to another but nothing is updated if the data is the same.



      If the answer is not that simple then I will need more information. You have got the key and the Search view working which I think is the most difficult step. Getting updates to flow should be easy. It looks like you have setup a test scenario. Please email me the Source and Target database and the dma.nsf. Please also let me know your client and server version. Please email me at:

        Hi David,

        you are right. Both Source and Target fields have the same value.

        I thougt "Action if Target Document Found using Key" stand for if found then delete and create.

        Let me explain what we want to do with Data Moving Animal:

        The Source documents are several adressbook DBs. The Target document is an adressbook too, with the same template. We want to synchronize the Group View between the sources and the target.

        The values in the field of the sources are often changed, because new members are added to the groups. Therefore I choosed the option.



        best regards

        Udo
