RE: [SYSTEM21] RPG question

["Thomas, Donna" <DThomas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I'm wondering if anyone has ever had to recover a failed GLUPDATE job?

We update our invoices in GL using AFI, which is driven by posting rules
in FIP45. On 9/7/04, the AFIGLUPDAT job produced a 13,000 page
EXCEPTIONS - DEFAULT ACCOUNT POSTINGS report (FI551PT3). The error
message was ' Rule not found'. We have since determined that the AFI
posting rule in our FIP45 records is no longer on the system because a
new newly numbered rule has been made effective. The FLP008 records were
created with the actual account as the GL account number, but when
background job GLUPDATE tried to process those FLP008 records, the
program GL161, looped and produced a spool file so large, it caused a
critical storage warning on our system. There are approximately 130,000
FLP008 records that have this problem that haven't been processed by
GLUPDATE.

The UPDNOG (Update Number General Ledger) is still 0 for the FLP008
records in the session, which leads me to believe general ledger
accounts have not been updated with this information. Is that correct?

I'm trying to determine how to recover from this. I am thinking of
deleting the FLP008 and associated FLP007 records for this session and
then updating the FIP45 records to use the correct AFI posting rule,
re-running the AFIGLUPDAT and seeing if the new FLP007 and FLP008
records would process through the GLUPDATE job. Will this recovery work?
If not, how do I recover this?

We are using version 3.5.0b of System 21, if that matters.
