Hi Kath
We identified the two files containing the duplicate transactions and confirmed that the first 4 duplicates and the last
duplicate were all identical transactions.
It is almost certain that all the other duplicates are identical too. Statement below from our developers :-
“The key point is duplicate identical transactions are a known issue which does
not matter”
Under old Horizon, Riposte Audit data was extracted from the correspondence servers (central transaction data
repositories) by an agent harvester process.
These were then written as flat files which were picked up and secured by the audit server.
The design of this harvester was such that duplicate records were allowed to be included in the files.
This would only happen in exception conditions and basically operated as a fail safe i.e. err on the side of including
duplicates rather than potentially losing data.
Hope this helps clarify
Regards
ALASTAIR

The above ARQs appear to have duplications on certain months and from certain time in the day, mainly post 1530
I attach some examples to see if you can shed any light on this
Thanks
