HP ELOQUENCE A.06.30 - patch 0007210

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch fixes a defect of the dbimport program as released
with A.06.30. This patch will be integrated in a subsequent 
HP Eloquence release.
A.06.30 must be installed before applying this patch.

Severity:
 NORMAL


Fixed problems:
---------------

Platforms: All

* A bug has been fixed in dbimport where it could fail to import
  to import a database in restructure mode.

  When dbimport is run in restructure mode (-r command line option)
  and a data set is specified in the optional restructure description 
  file but the export file does not provide structure information a 
  bug was triggered causing dbimport to either fail with an error 
  message or filling the database with default values.

  dbimport does now fall back to default mode (positional match of 
  the fields in the export file rather matching items and fields 
  by name). Since dbimport is then unable to compensate for some
  structural differences in the data base and import file it is 
  strogly recommended to export in restructure mode.

  Symptoms:
  - The data sets specified in the restructure file contain default 
    values (space, null or zero) after dbimport
  - DBPUT fails due to duplicate search items

  Impact:
  dbimport could fail to import database in restructure mode.
