Database Update Acknowledgement Messages
Effective immediately the acknowledgements we send out for database updates will mention the "Subject" of the update mail message being acknowledged in addition to the "Message-ID". This should allow easier matching of acknowledgements to update requests. Please let us know if you see any wrong behaviour of this new feature. We also have had requests to mention the names of all objects updated e.g. person, network, domain etc.. We have refrained from doing this as it would produce *very* long acknowledgements in some cases. We were thinking of providing it for updates containing less objects than a threshold of -say- 20. Anyone who wants this in addition to the Subject please speak up with an explanation why to the list. Then we can make a decision whether it is worthwhile. Daniel

I don't like the idea of *by default* getting all or even upto 20 (or some other limit) changed objects reported. However, in some cases I would like to have this feature. How about making it depend on the presence of the "ACK" keyword in the Subject: line? Piet

OK, this sounds reasonable. I have implemented this using the string LONGACK rather than ACK which might legitimately be in the subject line. If you send us an update with the string LONGACK (in capitals) somewhere in the Subject:-line, the acknowledgements will contain a line saying Update OK: <object-name> for each update which generated no messages. The updates generating messages will return the full object and messages as before. Please let us know your experiences and suggestions. Daniel

Good move. NMow I have to change my scripts, to generate the subject lines automatically :-) Andreas Schachtner
