Example:

Set cmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
cmd.ActiveConnection = objConn
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE machines SET modelid = ? WHERE machineid = ?"
cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter("@modelid", 3, 1, , CLng(modelid))

4. INSERT into communications table (up to 3 records for interfaces)
5. INSERT into machinerelationships table:
   • Controls: PC → Equipment (one record)
   • Dualpath: Equipment ↔ Dualpath Machine (two records, bidirectional)
6. INSERT into compliance table
7. Redirect to displaymachine.asp?machineid=XXX

Edit Machine (savemachineedit.asp)

1. Validate machineid and verify machine exists
2. Handle nested entity creation (same as add)
3. UPDATE machines table (does NOT update machinenumber)
4. DELETE old communications: DELETE FROM communications WHERE machineid = ?
5. INSERT new communications (up to 3 records)
6. DELETE old relationships: DELETE FROM machinerelationships WHERE machineid = ? OR related_machineid = ?
7. INSERT new relationships (Controls + Dualpath)
8. UPDATE or INSERT compliance data:
   • If exists: UPDATE compliance SET ...
   • If not exists: INSERT INTO compliance ...
9. Redirect to displaymachine.asp?machineid=XXX

Known Limitations

1. Communication Editing Strategy

• Uses DELETE then INSERT approach
• Does not preserve comid values
• Cannot edit individual interfaces (all or nothing)
• Future enhancement: Allow editing specific interfaces without deleting all

2. Relationship Editing Strategy

• Uses DELETE then INSERT approach
• Does not preserve relationshipid values
• Cannot view relationship history
• Future enhancement: Add relationship history tracking

3. Interface Limit

• Can only add/edit up to 3 interfaces via form
• Additional interfaces require database access
• Future enhancement: Dynamic interface addition with "Add Interface" button

4. File Naming

• Old file: editmacine.asp (typo)
• New file: editmachine.asp (correct spelling)
• Both exist for compatibility
• Future enhancement: Migrate all references and remove typo file

---

Future Enhancements

Short-term (Next Sprint)

1. Add Interface button for dynamic interface management
2. Client-side validation before form submission
3. Autosave draft changes
4. Confirmation before leaving with unsaved changes

Medium-term (Next Quarter)

1. Field-level change tracking (audit trail)
2. Bulk edit multiple machines
3. Relationship history/audit trail
4. More relationship types (Shares Network, Backup Of, etc.)

Long-term (Future)

1. Security scan integration with automated scanning
2. Compliance status tracking and alerts
3. Automated compliance checking
4. Real-time field validation
5. Machine dependency visualization (relationship graph)
