All,

I have a store that is getting several x263 Bad Input caused batch to
be discarded messages, followed by W650 Program ACEDDMBL has ended
abnormally messages filling the logs.

This happened last week and I cleared all batches, and it then worked
fine. But it has now started happening again. They are using Brdata.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chad

Chad,

Double-check BRdata Application Personalization.  Hopefully nobody changed the setting for how many bytes the IBM record length is.  That could be an issue.

You can also check the background applications and hit F6 to clear out the 6 screens and try resending again.  I have seen the batches not go down because all 6 screens are full.

I'm not seeing any problems with either of these things. I have
cleared all batch files and the problem has again went away, for now.
I'm seeing errors related to an item # with all zero's, but don't find
such a record in the brdata batches that where sent down.

I have seen this when trying to send items with random characters or letters in the upc field.

If you end up with all background pages filled with *active* tasks
then IBM will not be able to start new processes like ACEADDML ->no
batch read at all. So this is prob. not this problem

The fact that you have an errorlog with "00000000000" for upc smells
of invalid charactors in the batch in the UPC or Description field
One thing to try would be to take the EAMMAINT.DAT file from the store
and try to read it in your system.
If the batch reads in the test system, then there is either a setting
issue btwn BRD and ACE or something else evil

Also, make sure the following files DO NOT exist on CC
EAMMAINT.DAT
EAMMAINT.BAK
EAMMINPR.DAT *

* if this one exists, ACEADDML reads it 1st and if it is bad, every
time you start ACEADDML for a new batch this one could be read instead

I do have a eammaint.bak file present on CC that was created/modified
today at 10:22am, but no other files you mention exist. I will pull
back eammaint.dat if issues occur again.

Thank

Chad,
There are 2 different ways that BRdata can send maintenance files to the IBM controller. Do you know which way is being used to send to this controller? I have seen before where it was setup to send it both ways and this caused the issue that you are seeing. This normally happens as a result of someone from BRdata looking at an issue and does not see it setup the way they know of. In turn, they set it up the "new way" and these issues result.

They should be using FTP. What is the other method and where is it
set up? I briefly looked in their yesterday, but didn't think about
this.

You could also switch them to IGM :)
