When working with batches that failed to generate:
The Failed status appears as hyperlink, which if clicked, displays the error that caused the batch to fail.
Batch validation and post utilize the same process, and the batch appears with a status of Processing (P). When the validation or post is complete, the status will either retain the batch status set by the process (e.g., Post automatically sets the status to Complete if the batch is complete), or set the status back to the value before the process began.
When you select a batch from the Batch List application, you will be navigated to DataLoader - Batch Maintenance instead of the Batch Overview.
If the status of the batch is failed, you can modify any attributes of the batch header row, except the status.
If you attempt to manually set the batch status of a batch to Failed, an error will appear and the Save will not occur because Failed is a system-reserved value and will only be assigned by Advance. The same is also true for selecting the Processing status.
When you access the Batch Maintenance form for a failed batch, Validate and Post do not appear on the menu.
If you select a failed batch from the Batch List, the Transaction List, Error Log, and Mass Update Summary Report branches will not appear on the Page Tree.
The following Alternate ID errors are not captured in adv_log_exceptions, but will be reported if you click the Failed status hyperlink:
Alternate ID selected but not specified in file/table.
Alternate ID not selected but specified in file/table.
Alternate ID in file/table does not match selected Alternate ID.
Database errors that occur during regular batch creation are captured in adv_log_exceptions. The batch header will be created with a Failed status, and a message stating an error occurred when creating the batch will appear along with some information about the error.
If an error occurs during the creation of a Mass Update batch, you will be navigated to the Batch List where you can view the error.
