update-update conflict on same node

[Ron]

Dear all

I have spent quite a day or so dealing with an issue that I can make little
sense of, I hope that someone has had a similar experience and can share some
knowledge?

I have peer-peer replication with 2 nodes. Updates are done on node 1 only.

I have a conflict that appears when I update a value in a column for a
particular record as follows.

"An update-update conflict between peer 1 (incoming)
and peer 1 (on disk) was detected and resolved. The incoming update was
skipped by peer 2."

What I find strange is it appears to be a conflict with itself? Peer1-Peer1?
(it must be as as I mentioned the updates are being done at one node

The conflict viewer UI says

Conflict peers (winner/loser)
ABC-PILOT/ABC-PILOT

Again indicating the same node.

This has me baffled and am struggling to see sense.

Thanks again for any help and my string of questions lately.

you probably did a version of a dummy update.

Hilary, you just made my day.

I've yet to install but agree it looks very similar to the problem I have
been having, thanks for taking the time to reply. I thought I had lost the
plot.

I wonder how it is I couldn't track down this error on the web, no matter
thanks again.

I can confirm that this hotfix solved the problem, though it was very
slightly different to the one reported. My UPDATE statement was setting a
column to a value that it was already set to, rather than the contents of the
same column. Small difference but I suppose the same effect.

Thanks again Hilary
