RE: AFI question

[Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

My talented programmer informs me that this message occurs when two iterations
of the IN - AFI extract are running concurrently...
AFI extracts need to all run from the same single-threaded jobq...  See CLP -
FIP551CLP

There is a far more diabolical problem in the Production AFI extract that occur
when you're running AFI extracts concurrently in multiple jobqs...
The reports actually mingle different companies data together so the reports are
actually fairly useless in terms of reconciliation...

There is a work file with a logical file and records are processed by GL company
# instead of plant company # and it's just ugly...  I can hunt down the details
if you really want to know...

We complained for a long time before we got them (JBA) to admit that the logic
leaves something to be desired and their only solution was to change the task
definitions for all AFI extracts to use the same JobQ...  So that's what I did
and it works just fine...

I challenged them to show me where in the documentation this feature was
documented and they couldn't so they had to issue a Support Alert or a Bulletin
or some such thing...  I cannot remember which now...  And it stated that all
AFI Extracts need to run in the SAME single-threaded jobq...

Hope that helps...

I have seen this message once before when I had accidentally submitted the
AFI extract twice into the job queue.

Hope someone can help with an AFI question !!

We submitted an Inventory AFI run overnight and although the job didn't fall

over, we got a message saying :

  '(INFORMATION ONLY)  Update of the General Ledger for application IN is
not possible just yet'

Nothing has posted to the ledger !

any ideas ?  We've not seen this message before.

thanks in anticipation
