Sales Host recognizes when an append fails and provides error messages
Sales and Sales Host recognize when an append fails to local data and give error messages indicating there is a data problem. Sales can give the following messages until Sales is restarted:
• “An indexing error has been discovered. Sales must be restarted and all files is reindexed.”
• “A record could not be written to transact [table that couldn’t be written to]. Sales Data must be rebuilt.”
Sales Host gives the following error and a shutdown/restart is forced: “An error occurred while writing some of the records for this sale. Sales Data must be repaired. This may be fixed by restarting Sales or local Sales data may need to be rebuilt”.
A writeerror.txt file, containing the data that was not appended, is generated in the Sales directory. Furthermore, Sales recognizes when there is an indexing error and re-indexes upon the next startup. In Sales Host, a shutdown is forced to facilitate this process.
