I concur with Ron's assessment. My own most recent upgrade of this type was done on a new server (i.e. not the current production server), so the errors were not critically impacting, but it did require some re-installs and such. Also know that you get an unpatched CMDB with ITSM 6 - you'll have

This is simply functioning as designed, Stephen. When you allocate a chunk and it is taken, the nextId variable is reset at that time to N + . When the server restarts, that's the next ticket number, regardless of what happened to those preceding it. Plus, how would it know whether the Entry IDs

Use the modulo '%' operator. Divide the integer portion of the ticket # by 100, and if modulo = 0, send it out. Or, if the ticket number ends in "79" for instance, that would work, too. Rick On 2/13/07, Jack Samson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: All, I am trying to send a survey out on every 10
