Common IssuesUnicode Support- ILoader v2.5 scripts are unicode compliant. This means that the script looks strange in notepad (all the data is on one line). To edit 2.5 scripts, use wordpad. - If any changes are made to a script file via the iLoader editor the file containing the script will be converted so that it's encoding format is UNIcode. - New (2.5) iLoader scripts are not backwards compatible with previous versions of iLoader due to unicode support. To create a backwards compatible script, open the script file in explorer (using notepad) and Save as, setting the Encoding option = ANSI. - When loading UNIcode data the UNIcodeFLAT and UNIcodeDELIMETED options for FORMAT must be used within the TABLE_DECLARATION section. Updating Data- When updating, if a field specified in the TABLE_DEFINITION section doesn't exist in the Engine table that is being updated a new field is created and no warning is given. Care must therefore be taken to avoid typing mistakes. - When updating, WIDTH in the TABLE_DECLARATION refers to the number of columns in the Engine table as opposed to the number of columns in the data file. Re-running failed scripts- If a script is created and run and it fails when loading the data (typically and Error Adding File message will be seen), it will have created an empty table/database structure. (This can be seen by starting up the AMC Repository Applet immediately after the script has failed). This can cause problems when making a change to the table definition and then re-running. ILoaderWizard- Use iLoaderWizard to generate basic scripts (on the LOAD DETAILS screen, choose Write Scripts) and then edit the scripts in iLoader. Configuring iLoader- Script paths are read from LoaderServer, not LoaderClient. - When running client-server it is generally wise to use UNC paths - Script paths are automatically converted to UNC paths so long as the script directory is shared or in a sub-folder of a shared directory. - Existing script files are not overwritten when clicking on the "Create Default Files" option. The new project simply points to the existing files. Configuration Errors
