Investigate processing of BN credentials about von-bc-registries-agent HOT 6 CLOSED

Looking into the BC Registries data a bit, we found there was only a single filing event for that company dated 2019-03-08 16:26:36. That record was processed by the BC Registries Agent and the OrgBook 2019-12-18 with the original 7xxx BN. When the company was reprocessed on 2021-08-18 it was processed with the new 8xxx BN. This indicates the BN was changed some time between 2019-12-18 and 2021-08-18 and no corresponding event was generated for the change on the BC Registries side. Without the event the BC Registries Agent does not know there has been a change to a company's records and will therefore not process the change. @ianco to confirm if this was a manual data fix, and if there are any other types of changes that don't generate events.

There are two potential issues with how we process BC Registries data. The first is as @WadeBarnes mentions above - if there is no event generated, then we will not detect the change and the update will not get posted to OrgBook.

The other issue is with any data that is in the corporation table in the source database. Most data (such as company name, status, etc) is time sequenced - if the data changes, the record is "expired" and a new record is created - we can go back in history and see the changes in the company data over time. However with the corporation table there is only one record, so if the BN or Company Type (for example) changes, we don't have the "old" data. If we reprocess this company, then we generate credentials as if the corporation data (BN, company type, etc) was the same since the company was created.

Do you need a contact at BC Reg to find out the behaviour? We can get Dwayne working on that.

Sure would be good to get Dwayne to follow up. He can ping me if he has any questions or needs to pull me into a call.

@ianco -- is this issue now resolved such that we can close it?

from von-bc-registries-agent.

We are waiting for a fix from registries. We have a work-around (our nightly audit detects B mis-matches and forces updates to these companies) but would be preferable if we could get events for BN changes.
