Migration Steps

1. Pre-Migration Analysis

machines table:

• All 7 columns existed in machines table
• 0 machines had any data in these columns (all NULL)

compliance table:

• Had 406 compliance records
• Only gecoreload column existed (with 172 records populated)
• Missing: systemname, devicedescription, on_ge_network, asset_criticality, jump_box, mft

ASP code analysis:

• 0 ASP files reference any of these columns
• No code changes required

2. Migration Actions

Added to compliance table:

ALTER TABLE compliance ADD COLUMN systemname TEXT NULL;
ALTER TABLE compliance ADD COLUMN devicedescription VARCHAR(1000) NULL;
ALTER TABLE compliance ADD COLUMN on_ge_network ENUM('Yes','No','N/A') NULL;
ALTER TABLE compliance ADD COLUMN asset_criticality ENUM('High','Medium','Low','N/A') NULL;
ALTER TABLE compliance ADD COLUMN jump_box ENUM('Yes','No','N/A') NULL;
ALTER TABLE compliance ADD COLUMN mft ENUM('Yes','No','N/A') NULL;

Removed from machines table:

ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN systemname;
ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN devicedescription;
ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN on_ge_network;
ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN asset_criticality;
ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN jump_box;
ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN mft;
ALTER TABLE machines DROP COLUMN gecoreload;

3. Post-Migration Verification

compliance table:

• Now has 20 columns (was 14, added 6 new columns)
• All 7 compliance columns present ✅

machines table:

• Now has 31 columns (was 38, removed 7 columns)
• No compliance columns remaining ✅

Data integrity:

• No data loss (all columns were NULL in machines table)
• Existing gecoreload data (172 records) preserved in compliance table ✅

Impact Analysis

Database Schema

Before:

• machines table: 38 columns (including 7 compliance columns)
• compliance table: 14 columns

After:

• machines table: 31 columns (no compliance columns)
• compliance table: 20 columns (all compliance data)

Application Code

Changes Required: NONE ✅

• No ASP files referenced these columns
• No views or stored procedures affected
• No front-end pages affected

Benefits

1. Data Organization

   • All compliance-related data now in dedicated compliance table
   • machines table focused on hardware/asset data only

2. Cleaner Schema

   • Removed 7 unused columns from machines table
   • Better separation of concerns

3. Future Maintenance

   • Compliance data easier to manage in one place
   • Simpler queries for compliance reporting

Related Migrations

This migration is part of ongoing cleanup efforts:

1. Network Columns (pending)

   • ipaddress2, ipaddress3, macaddress2, macaddress3, vlan
   • These are also unused and can be removed (ipaddress1 is used by printers)

2. Phase 1 Legacy (pending)

   • pctypeid column still exists (235 PCs have data)
   • Needs migration to use machinetypeid instead
