The issue happens occasionally and generally has no effects on Argent AT functionality

Technical Background

SQL Table ‘ARGSOFT_AAC_OCCUR‘ is used for bookkeeping how many times a Rule has been broken

It is used when calculating following option in the Rule:

The issue happens when the broken Rule generates a comparison string more than 64 bytes, which is quite rare

The issue is addressed in Argent AT 3.1A-1401-T6

Resolution

Upgrade to Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1401-T6 or later

For customer who cannot upgrade immediately, he can manually edit the SQL table structure by changing the column type from nvarchar(64) to nvarchar(256)
