4020.0. "Index shows same subject line for many docs" by MROA::BONVALLAT () Wed Mar 23 1994 21:21

On a large timesharing cluster with ALL-IN-1 V3.0, one ALL-IN-1 account 
has "randomly" renamed the subject you see when doing an index to be
the same subject for a whole group of documents - regardless of what the
document's subject really is.   This seems to have only effected 2 of
the user's folders.

Example:
   No.  Folder       Title                    Author    Modified    Status
   4    RESPONSES    I: Product complexity    		10-Feb-1994 READ
   5    RESPONSES    ELI 'S ASSESSMENT  		09-Feb-1994 READ
   6    RESPONSES    RE: FWD: Eli on    		09-Feb-1994 READ
   7    RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		09-Feb-1994 READ
   8    RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		09-Feb-1994 READ
   9    RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   10   RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   11   RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   12   RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		07-Feb-1994 READ
   13   RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   14   RESPONSES    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL" 		07-Feb-1994 READ

Above the subject "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL" was given to a group of documents
although if you read the document you can get the correct subject which is
something other than "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL".  These documents had been safely
in the RESPONSES folder for a few days before the subjects suddenly changed
when doing an index.

It has been about 2 weeks and the problem doesn't seem to have resurfaced,
but does anyone know of a way to get the index to display the correct 
subject line for the documents which were affected?  Thanks.

4020.1Sounds like user error!IOSG::MARSHALLA glitch in realityThu Mar 24 1994 09:338
It sounds like a user-level action or customisation (eg UDP) has changed the
values of the TITLE DCODB field, but left the DAF SUBJECT and DTITLE fields
alone.

Have they done U (Update Index Information) on some documents, for example, and
accidentally put the wrong value in the title field?

4020.2Still same problem -better problem descriptionMROA::BONVALLATFri May 27 1994 17:5828
The problem described in this base note still occurs from time to time,
and now I am going to rewrite a better description of the problem here:

On a large timesharing cluster with ALL-IN-1 V3.0, for one particular user,
when a number of mail messages get crossfiled from folder READ to new
folder FYI with the XFD command, the following occurs...

First...An Index of the new FYI folder shows all Titles are correct.
Then usually about a day or two later, ALL-IN-1 appears to "randomly" 
rename the title which you see when doing an index to be the same for a 
whole group of documents - regardless of what the document's subject really is.
This seems to only effect the newly created folder(s) which recently had
many messages XFD'd to it (them).  No problems have appeared when using XRFD.

For Example - "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL" is not really the Title of these docs:

   No.  Folder       Title                    Author    Modified    Status
   4    FYI    I: Product complexity    		10-Feb-1994 READ
   5    FYI    ELI 'S ASSESSMENT  			09-Feb-1994 READ
   6    FYI    RE: FWD: Eli on    			09-Feb-1994 READ
   7    FYI    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		09-Feb-1994 READ
   8    FYI    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		09-Feb-1994 READ
   9    FYI    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   10   FYI    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   11   FYI    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		08-Feb-1994 READ
   12   FYI    "STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"  		07-Feb-1994 READ

Thanks for pondering this.  - Jeff
