IRNRange Registry entry

Specify a range of numbers for the Internal Record Number (IRN).

With this Registry entry it is possible to specify a range of numbers for IRNs.

This could be useful if, say, multiple sites access the same database and there is a need to know to which site a record belongs (based on the record IRN).

Note: IRN range checking is built into the EMu client and only occurs when records are inserted via the client GUI.

Range checking occurs when a new record is created.

Usage

This Registry entry can be assigned to users and groups:

Key User User Group Group Group Group
Key 1 User User Group Group Group Group
Key 2 user user group group Default Default
Key 3 Table Table Table Table Table Table
Key 4 table Default table Default table Default

Group group Table table IRNRange start-end
Group group Table Default IRNRange start-end
Group Default Table table IRNRange start-end
Group Default Table Default IRNRange start-end

where:

start-end

must be two integers separated by a hyphen, the second integer larger than the first. The range is inclusive of the start and end values.

This entry may be set across all tables, or for an individual table or user.
