Description

Resolution:
Description:

============
When an assignment statement such as thisconcept.abc = "test" is not actually updating the property abc; TIBCO BusinessEvents (BE) always updates the timestamp.

Environment:

==========
All OS
All BE Version.

Symptoms:
=========
In BE you can use Instance.PropertyAtom.SetString to update the timestamp when desired or the timestamp will be updated automatically when you use assignment “=” to update the value of a property. When the new value is the same as the previous value, the Instance.PropertyAtom.SetString forces the update of the timestamp.



Resolution:
=========
Assignment “=” always updates the timestamp of the property even if the new value is the same as the previous value. There is not a different assignment “=” and Instance.PropertyAtom.SetString for this.
