Control Issues Index

This page is the master “index” of WIKI articles for Control. The information is arranged in several formats. You may navigate using the Table of Contents on the right, or by typing Control-F and searching for specific text.

This organization of issues is arranged based on the Tier-designation used internally by Cyrious Software for their support technicians. A Tier-1 issue is well understood and the steps to repair it are straight forward. A Tier-2 issue is generally less common, presents differently in each case, or requires a high level of technical experience to resolve. A Tier-3 issue requires the most skilled technician applying the scientific method to diagnose and resolve the issue.

The following issues are generally Tier 1 issues. Tier 1 technicians should handle these issues as outlined in the steps detailed in the description. If the issue remains after the completion of the Tier 1 steps, the Tier 1 technician stops work on it and elevates the ticket to the next available Tier 2 technician.

* Tier 3 issues refer to problems with these characteristics:
* May not be easily defined.
* Are usually not easily repeatable
* Usually can't be [intentionally] recreated on another system
* Require a deep, broad understanding in many areas such as database, data structure, reporting, pricing computation, etc.
* May involve interaction with non-Control players or the operating system.

By their nature, there is not a list of Tier 3 issues. Rather this type of problem requires a sophisticated scientific method of hypothesis, research, and trial-and-error.

~ Customer Request or Error~ Tier 3 Action
SQL ServerPreface - Some of the following topics will fall into Tier 3 due to the amount of data to be
considered for the topic to be relevant. Pulling usage data, Profiling, and Tracing can involve VERY expensive
queries that can or will impact or halt production on that database. These tasks will generally be required for companies with larger data-sets
and considerations will be required to ensure that testing does not interfere with their production.
