    Hello All,

     

    I am having the concern in my production servers wherein all increment value lookups getting deleted over past 4months and files are failing with error code:12.

     

    These lookup will hit the maps and increment the values for control numbers for ex: 17890 to 17891 during runtime.

     

    Because of hitting and writing the values is it getting deleted, we are using this from 2012 on wards but suddenly from past 4 months we are seeing the issues.

     

    Is there any patch deploy for this we are using WTX 8.3.0.3 version.

     

    Thanks,

    Tarak

    Are you using the GETANDSET() function to increment this value?  There are some known issues with GETANDSET() which are fixed in Service Pack 6.  I recommend you upgrade to WTX 8.3.0.6 instead.

    Thank-you.

    Hi Paul,

    We are not using GETANDSET() function. We use the below,

     

    Ex: NUMBERTOTEXT(SeqNum) + 1

     

    Thanks,

    So, your output card overwrites the input card?  I assume that this map is always executed single-threaded?

    I suppose in rare circumstances, during a map crash, the file might get 'lost' somehow.

    I'm still leaning toward installation of Service Pack 6, as the best way to avoid this problem from re-occurring.

    Thank-you.

    Hi Paul,

    Map executes in multi-thread. Not sure output card overwrites input card.

    In which scenarios map can crash and file gets deleted.

    Do you mean Service Pack 6 is the fix.

    Thanks,

    Tarak
