Considerations When a Module Fails

Important

If the user sees a failure error while processing the manipulation, the SYSPRO tables will have been partially updated and the administrator will have to restore SYSPRO from the full backup done prior to the manipulation.

If the user cancelled the processing using the available system options, the manipulation process will be incomplete but the user may simply restart the process to complete the manipulation of the remainder of the incomplete tables.

Two temporary “MAN” directories will have been created by the manipulation program and will reside in the SYSPRO Data and Work directories. If the manipulation process is UNSUCCESSFUL, these directories together with the files within created by the manipulation will need to be manually removed by the Administrator.

If the manipulation program completes successfully, the files created by the program, as well as the associated “MAN” directories themselves will be deleted.

The user may have to remove this directory if a previous manipulation run was not successful.

Failure Status

If the user wishes to re-run any of the MAN products that have failed previously, and they receive a message as per Figure 1

Figure 1

When maintaining the Control/Preferences of a MAN module that has previously failed and has not been reset, you should see a screen as per Figure 2

Figure 2

Manual Reset

The “Reset Status” button on the toolbar will allow you to reset the module. Selecting this will bring up the message as per Figure 3

Figure 3

No – will return the focus back to the Manipulation Control/Preference screen as per Figure 2

Yes – will bring up the following Manipulation reset program as per Figure 4

Figure 4

Cancel – will return the focus back to the Manipulation Control/Preference screen as per Figure 2

Yes – will reset the module in question. Manipulation of this module can continue as per normal

Reset When Processing

The resetting of a module can also be done from the “Manipulation Conversion” program. If the user attempts to run this program and the module was previously attempted and failed, the user will see the screen as per Figure 5

Figure 5

No – will return the focus back to the Manipulation Conversion screen

Yes – will bring up the Manipulation reset program as per Figure 4

If the user is attempting to run a Manipulation module, but there are other Manipulation modules that are “In Progress”, the user will not be able to continue with the MAN conversion until this module in question is either reset or allowed to finish.
