Migrated Files

1. displaypcs.asp - PC List Page

Status: COMPLETE Last Updated: 2025-11-10 14:40 Location: /home/camp/projects/windows/shopdb/displaypcs.asp

Changes Applied:

• Uses FROM machines with pctypeid IS NOT NULL filter
• Joins to communications table for network info
• Uses proper column name address (not ipaddress)
• Includes all required columns (vendorid, modelnumberid, etc.)
• LEFT JOIN for optional relationships
• Parameterized queries for security
• Shows PC types, vendors, models, business units

Key Query:

FROM machines m
LEFT JOIN models ON m.modelnumberid = models.modelnumberid
LEFT JOIN vendors ON models.vendorid = vendors.vendorid
LEFT JOIN pctype ON m.pctypeid = pctype.pctypeid
LEFT JOIN communications c ON m.machineid = c.machineid AND c.isprimary = 1
WHERE m.pctypeid IS NOT NULL

---

2. displaypc.asp - Individual PC View

Status: COMPLETE Last Updated: November 10, 2025 Location: /home/camp/projects/windows/shopdb/displaypc.asp

Changes Applied:

• Main query uses FROM machines WHERE pctypeid IS NOT NULL
• Network interfaces from communications table
• Accepts ?pcid=X parameter (mapped to machineid)
• All text fields converted to strings with & ""
• Uses address column (not ipaddress)
• Relationships use machinerelationships table
• Profile card with PC information
• Tabbed interface (Settings, Network, etc.)

Main Query:

SELECT m.*,
       mo.modelnumber, mo.vendorid AS modelvendorid, mo.machinetypeid, mo.image AS modelimage,
       v.vendor,
       bu.businessunit,
       mt.machinetype
FROM machines m
LEFT JOIN models mo ON m.modelnumberid = mo.modelnumberid
LEFT JOIN vendors v ON mo.vendorid = v.vendorid
LEFT JOIN businessunits bu ON m.businessunitid = bu.businessunitid
LEFT JOIN machinetypes mt ON mo.machinetypeid = mt.machinetypeid
WHERE m.machineid = ? AND m.pctypeid IS NOT NULL

Network Query:

SELECT address, macaddress
FROM communications
WHERE machineid = ? AND isactive = 1
ORDER BY isprimary DESC

---

3. editpc.asp - PC Edit Form

Status: COMPLETE Last Updated: November 10, 2025 Location: /home/camp/projects/windows/shopdb/editpc.asp

Changes Applied:

• Loads data from machines WHERE pctypeid IS NOT NULL
• Network interfaces from communications table
• All text fields converted to strings with & ""
• Uses address and macaddress columns correctly
• Parameterized queries throughout
• Proper NULL handling
• Edit form with all PC-specific fields
• Dualpath and controlled equipment relationships

Load Query:

SELECT m.*,
       mo.modelnumber, mo.vendorid AS modelvendorid, mo.machinetypeid, mo.image AS modelimage,
       v.vendor,
       bu.businessunit,
       mt.machinetype
FROM machines m
LEFT JOIN models mo ON m.modelnumberid = mo.modelnumberid
LEFT JOIN vendors v ON mo.vendorid = v.vendorid
LEFT JOIN businessunits bu ON m.businessunitid = bu.businessunitid
LEFT JOIN machinetypes mt ON mo.machinetypeid = mt.machinetypeid
WHERE m.machineid = ? AND m.pctypeid IS NOT NULL

Communications Query:

SELECT address, macaddress
FROM communications
WHERE machineid = ? AND isactive = 1
ORDER BY isprimary DESC

Controlled Equipment Query:

SELECT machineid, machinenumber, alias
FROM machines
WHERE pctypeid IS NULL AND isactive = 1
ORDER BY machinenumber ASC

Schema Verification

Old Schema (Phase 1) - DEPRECATED

├── hostname
├── notes            <- renamed to machinenotes
└── ...

├── ipaddress        <- renamed to address
├── macaddress
└── ...

New Schema (Phase 2) - ACTIVE

machines

Column Mapping Reference

PC Table → Machines Table

Old Column	New Column	Notes
pcid	machineid	Primary key
hostname	hostname	Same
notes	machinenotes	RENAMED
pctypeid	pctypeid	Must be NOT NULL for PCs
serialnumber	serialnumber	Same
alias	alias	Same
modelnumberid	modelnumberid	Same
businessunitid	businessunitid	Same

Network Interfaces Table → Communications Table

Old Column	New Column	Notes
interfaceid	comid	Primary key renamed
pcid	machineid	Foreign key renamed
ipaddress	address	RENAMED
macaddress	macaddress	Same
isprimary	isprimary	Same

---

Critical Fixes Applied

1. Column Name Corrections

• ipaddress → address in communications table
• notes → machinenotes in machines table
• pcid → machineid throughout

2. Type Conversion for HTMLEncode

Problem: Type mismatch errors with Server.HTMLEncode() Solution: All text fields converted to strings with & ""

' CORRECT implementation in all files
hostname = "" : If NOT IsNull(rsMachine("hostname")) Then hostname = rsMachine("hostname") & ""
alias = "" : If NOT IsNull(rsMachine("alias")) Then alias = rsMachine("alias") & ""
machinenotes = "" : If NOT IsNull(rsMachine("machinenotes")) Then machinenotes = rsMachine("machinenotes") & ""

3. Relationship Direction

Controls Relationship (PC → Equipment):

-- For PC page - find controlled equipment
WHERE mr.machineid = ? AND rt.relationshiptype = 'Controls'
SELECT mr.related_machineid  -- Returns equipment controlled by this PC

Dualpath Relationship (PC ↔ PC):

-- Bidirectional
WHERE mr.machineid = ? AND rt.relationshiptype = 'Dualpath'
SELECT mr.related_machineid

4. Proper JOIN Types

• LEFT JOIN for optional relationships (pctypes, models, etc.)
• INNER JOIN for required relationships
• Proper NULL handling throughout

---

Migration Pattern Success

This migration followed the same proven pattern as the Machine pages migration (completed Nov 7, 2025):

1. Update SQL queries to use machines table
2. Add WHERE pctypeid IS NOT NULL filter
3. Update column references (notes → machinenotes, ipaddress → address)
4. Convert text fields to strings with & ""
5. Use communications table for network info
6. Use machinerelationships for PC relationships
7. Implement parameterized queries
8. Test thoroughly with real data

---

Benefits Achieved

1. Data Consolidation

• Single source of truth for all infrastructure (machines table)
• Unified network information (communications table)
• Unified relationships (machinerelationships table)

2. Code Consistency

• PC pages now match machine pages architecture
• Consistent security patterns (parameterized queries)
• Consistent error handling
• Consistent UI/UX

3. Query Flexibility

-- All PCs
SELECT * FROM machines WHERE pctypeid IS NOT NULL;

-- All Equipment
SELECT * FROM machines WHERE pctypeid IS NULL;

-- All infrastructure (PCs + Equipment)
SELECT * FROM machines;

-- Cross-entity queries now possible
SELECT m1.hostname AS pc_name, m2.machinenumber AS equipment_name
FROM machinerelationships mr
JOIN machines m1 ON mr.machineid = m1.machineid
JOIN machines m2 ON mr.related_machineid = m2.machineid
WHERE m1.pctypeid IS NOT NULL;  -- PC controls equipment

4. Maintenance Simplification

• Less code duplication
• Easier to add features (apply to one table instead of multiple)
• Consistent backup/restore procedures
• Better performance (fewer tables to join)
