MOT Comp 2 is live

I've been Live since last Tuesday and appart from the odd niggle it will allow you to carry out tests. It will be no frills until every site is up and running without issues. Then and only then will the site develope into a fantastic system designed by Testers & AE's with our Feedback notes.

Ensure you record every technical issue and try not to moan (easier said than done). Good Feedback becomes possible in the future if not vital now. Its a huge undertaking to move (10 x erm 33,000,000,000 million tests per year...is...erm), 330,000,000,000 million MOT records, containing unimaginable amounts of data has to be succesfully transfered to comp 2. Add to that the 55,000 testers and 22760 testing stations, DVSA staff, and a plethora of other data the task becomes mammoth.

Its all in a different language too, the data formats are different and that really slows the job down when data is translated. The translation can be out slightly and the code containing the error will be useless or trigger the wrong action.

We need to be very very patient and work wth DVSA as much as we can by providing sensible descriptive Feedback to help identify the odd code translation error.

Provide as much info everytime you send Feedback to help speed up the repairs.

Please continue to post you findings or error reports here on the Forum and we will ensure they reach the right people,

Good luck..

That's a shame some of them were quite useful. I may just type them out into a notepad document and use copy and paste if that'll work, which will save time when entering the test result.

Its a great way for DVSA to monitor what's being written, who its written by, how often and ultimately identify any particular trends from organisations operating multi-sites.

Could slowly cut down the "advise for profit" gang....

I've asked for 'predictive text' for my most-used manual advisories which they are looking into

We went live yesterday and found we could not print anything
It chap came to help outcome was the mot 2 system must have acrobat reader installed to create print preview With out acrobat you can't print any documents from mot 2 good luck every one
