It is, at 13°C, grey and hazy, almost misty for the better part of the morning. Later it becomes dry and sunny, even warm.

About a month ago Jan reported the problem with the archived VAL orders. That got solved and ready for distribution. At the same time he also reported a problem with the Trigger file. The trigger file contains a list of orders (order numbers) with flags indicating their position in the process from shipping to invoicing. The orders enter the file the moment they are shipped by logistics and are deleted after they are accounted for in the statistics file. The lifetime of records varies from a few hours to a month.
That is theory. Jan found records surviving in the wild for more than a year. On our own system we don't see this type of records but some opco's, Belgium and especially Germany, have loads of them.
I started investigating the whole environment (yep Bob, turning environmentalist again:) in which this file is used and abused. It is a tricky problem again because we cannot duplicate it on our own system.

 

There is progress. I can see my own domain and I can get mail trough it but uploading still doesn't go.

Adios
