we're using Hostmonitor for a while now and have a number of reports in place ( logging through ODBC to Oracle).
I noticed that when altering the description of a test the TestID is renewed. For reporting purposes this is very inconvenient because we use the TestID as our primary key.
Why is this? is there another key that does not change? Is there a way to keep this data linked ?
Not sure I understand the problem. Do you mean HostMonitor changes TestID of the item everytime you are using Test Properties dialog to modify test settings?
This should not happen... What version of HostMonitor do you use?
Yes the Testid changes after aletering the test description. We used the TestID as our primary key in our reports ( Oracle views and Excel sheets )
Which have now become unusable.
We cannot reproduce the problem. Could you please explain what exactly means "aletering the test description"? Do you use Test Properties dialog? Import/Export feature? HMS Script?
