Folks, there should *NEVER* be any of these issues -- tickets should not have to be "re-syncd" manually. The very fact that these normal things have to be done is evidence that the system itself is flawed.

Any good database should also have some sort of error checking on input -- so, to be short, NOTHING can go wrong with the underlying element. Again, the fact that things can get "screwed up" basically mean we are looking at a flawed system.

A flawed system let "one-off's" happen in the first place.
Yeah and on DL it's because they're selling UG's too cheap and on AA it's the bankruptcy. Go figure.
