Mail.dat & pallet records in CSM file

We are testing and familiarizing ourselves with the Mail.Dat filess created out of Presort 7.90.
I have noticed that the .csm file has a "container type" field. I am expecting to see a value of "P" for pallet, in at least one record in this file but have not seen any.
One of my test files contains 497 tray "T" or "O" container types in the .CSM file, but no "P" pallet records. Shouldn't ther always be at least one pallet record created?
Is there a special value that must be set in order for Presort to produce the pallet record in the CSM file?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank You in advance!

Paul,
Palletization for Presort is an add-on option. If you haven't purchased this add-on you will not be able to run a job with a pallet scheme.
If you have the palletization add-on check to make sure you have a pallet scheme setup in your Presort job. For example, if you are doing a STD Letter mailing you may have the following schemes:
STD Letter Trays on Pallets (palletized mail)
STD Enhanced Carrier Route Letters (non palletized mail)
STD Automation Letters (non palletized mail)
1C/STD Regular Letters (non palletized mail)
If you have the above schemes it is possible you may have pallets however it is not guaranteed. Depending on how your pallet minimums, entry points, etc are setup you may not be meeting the minimums to build a pallet.
I would suggest generating several reports when running the job such as the Mail Sort Listing, Job Summary, and Qualification report which will indicate how the mail was sorted. The Mail Sort Listing and Job Summary will show what scheme / entry point / segment were sorted to. If you aren't seeing the pallet scheme or pallet numbers/destinations in any of the reports you won't see any pallets created in the mail.dat.
Thanks,

Why do we have a duplicate record in the .wsr file of the mail.dat?

Any idea how we could have created a duplicate record in the .wsr (walk Sequence file)? We have a post presort software that errors out because of the dupe. The Mail.dat specification indicates that there are five 'key' fields (their combination must be unique) for the Walk Sequence file:

Hi Michael
Can you please tell me which field is being duplicated and can you please try to run the job again and wait for a couple of seconds before importing it to your post presort software.
Thanks
Anita.

What is the smallest data structure record in a .TXT file record to be recognized as an Apple Address Book "Data Card"?

Hello! This is my first time in this discussion group. The question posed is the subject line itself:
What is the smallest data structure record in a .TXT file record to be recognized as an Apple Address Book "Data Card"?
I'm lazy! As a math instructor with 40+ students per class per semester (pCpS), I would rather not have to create 40 data cards pCpS by hand, only to expunge that info at semester's end. My college's IS department can easily supply me with First name, Last name, and eMail address info, along with a myriad of other fields. I can manipulate those data on my end to create the necessary .TXT file, but I don't know the essential structure of that file.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance.
Bill

Hello Bill, & welcome aboard!
No idea what pCpS is, sorry.

Mail.dat *.csm report

We are running Presort 8.00c, and when we run our presort jobs, and look at the mail.dat file, in position 49 we have a "N", but according to the printer that should be a "O". This is to set up EP Facility Type, but we cannot figure out what triggers this variable. Anyone have any ideas?

Larry,
In your IDEA Mail.dat report block make sure to check "destination entry known".
That should resolve the issue.
Thanks,

Infected files found in mail data base.

Greetings to everyone,
A few days ago, ClamXav detected infected files when scanning my mail data base. One of wich was a phishing kind of mesage, and the other was defined as a trojan. It turns out that they were mesages from 2009, by the time when i had a G5 Power PC. I've never open theme, nor clicked the links attached. Now i have a new Mac, but those mails are still in the data base; i think they migrated from my imap account. Any way, i red the ClamXav developper's page and he says that its not advisable to trash out or put this kind of files into quarantine. it bothers me that they still remain in my user's library.
Can someone give me a tip on how to cope with this issue?
Thank you!

I wish you had asked this question in the ClamXav Forum where I would have found it earlier.
Unless the infection name contains "OSX" it's almost certainly not anything that can impact your OS. But there still could be a couple of issues.
If the infection name contained the word "Heuristics" then it means that phishing message was not positively identified as a phishing attempt, but something about the way it was formatted looked suspicious enough to warn you about it. All such messages should be read before you delete them, as they could well be a false alarm.
The other question I would have asked you is what e-mail client you were using on your G5. Some e-mail clients (including Apple Mail in the early days) stored all their e-mail in one large database. If you were to delete the infected file, you would lose all your e-mail, so an alternate procedure is necessary to find and delete the message.

Random Records are being skipped while uploading data in PSA from CSV File

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue in data uploading in PSA through CSV file, Random Records are being skipped while uploading data in PSA.
First Load
We have flat file (.txt in CSV format), which contains 380240 Records.
We are uploading the flat file data into PSA from Application Server. But it uploads Only 380235 records, 5 Records are being skipped.
Second Load
We have re-generated same file next day, which contains same No of Records (380240), but this time it uploads Only 380233 records, 7 Records are being skipped.
We found 1 skipped record (based on key columns combination, by cross verifying from source and PSA table) from First load. But same records (combination of key column) is available in second load. It means same records are not being skipped every time.
Earlier (5 months ago) , We have loaded 641190 Records from flat file in same PSA and all records (641190) were uploaded successfully.
There is no change is Source, PSA and flat file structure.
Thanks & Regards
Bijendra

Hi Bijendra,
Please check in the file if at the begining if it has got any excape sign then that record may be skipped so the records may be mssing
Please check the excape sign like ; if they are present at the beginign that recor entirely will be skipped.

NO OPT record in AFP file

My application identify payments and amount to pay to different parties. In some cases, a party may receive more than one payment.
The payment data is sent to our banking system. The banking system assign cheque number and generate cheque image in AFP format to send to the print vendor.
Currently, all cheques return to us and we put them in the envelop, either one cheque per envelop or multi-cheque per envelop.
In the new process, we'd identify the cheques that should be mailed in a single envelop.
The print vendor suggested to create a NO OPT record before the payment record(s) to identify the envelop requirement.
I expect our banking system to create the AFP file, and at the same time, create the NO OPT record based on specification we provide to them. But the banking system folks are reluctant to make any changes to their system to create the NO OPT record.
I have no problem creating the NO OPT record. My questions are:
1) can I send the NO OPT records and the payment records in one file to the banking system ? The banking system will generate AFP record for the payments and maintain the NO OPT records in the relative position?
2) If the banking system cannot accept NO OPT records in the file, can I add NO OPT records to the AFP file (ie. after the cheque image is generated), assuming there is a way to recognize the cheque information when it is in AFP format (e.g. policy number, address) ?
This is the first time I deal with AFP file. I'd appreciate any information related to the process I described about.

Mail.Dat Test Scenario

What are the following files they are requesting in Mail.Dat TEM?
(1) Reconcialiation Report including Container information
(2) Qualification Report
(3) Version Summary Report
I am having problems figuring out what are these files?

Hi Nash
What it means that the mail.dat you submit to PostalOne! should contain the information necessary to generate these documents.
For Example as mentioned in the TEM checklist if you submit an u2018original ready to payu2019 Mail.dat file (CSM Container status is u2018Ru2018 for original ready-to-pay) , you should be able to see the documents you mentioned on the dashboard.

How do I merge my Mail data from two Macs into one?

One is Lion and the other is Mountain Lion, both 27" iMacs. I have saved the Mail data from the Lion one and will reformat its HDD for a clean install of Mountain Lion. Then I plan to import a (CCC) clone of my newer iMac. I need to merge the mail because some mail items are missing on the clone that existed on the erased iMac.

How do I add multiple text block records from text file?

The data manager documentation (page 151) for MDM 5.5 SP3 indicates that one or more new text blocks can be added to the Text Blocks object table from files. It is noted that the files must be plain text files.
I use notepad and create a text file with two lines as follows:
Test 1
Test 2
When I try to add the text blocks following documentation mentioned above, it only adds one record for the Data Group I have chosen and the record contains the entry "Test 1" from the first line in the text file.
How can I add multiple records to the data group from a file?

From my testing it appears that you need to have one text file per text block record in Data Manager.
I wrote VBA macro to so that I could input my text blocks into an Excel spreadsheet and then the macro will take the contents of each cell in a highlighted column and create one text file per cell.
Then using Data manager, I can select all of the text files at once and it will import them, creating one record per text file.

Error while load the data from CSV with CTL file..?

Hi TOM,
When i try to load data from CSV file to this table,
CTL File content:
load data
into table XXXX append
     Y_aca position char (3),
     x_date position date 'yyyy/mm/dd'
NULLIF (x_date = ' '),
X_aca position (* + 3) char (6)
"case when :Y_aca = 'ABCDDD' and :XM_dt is null then
decode(:X_aca,'AB','BA','CD',
'DC','EF','FE','GH','HG',:X_aca)
else :X_aca
end as X_aca",
Z_cdd position char (2),
     XM_dt position date 'yyyy/mm/dd'
NULLIF XM_dt = ' ',
When I try the above CTL file; geting the following error..
SQL*Loader-281: Warning: ROWS parameter ignored in parallel mode.
SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-02373: Error parsing insert statement for table "XYZ"."XXXX".
ORA-00917: missing comma

Possible Solutions
Make sure that the data source is valid.
Is a member from each dimension specified correctly in the data source or rules file?
Is the numeric data field at the end of the record? If not, move the numeric data field in the data source or move the numeric data field in the rules file.
Are all members that might contain numbers (such as "100") enclosed in quotation marks in the data source?
If you are using a header, is the header set up correctly? Remember that you can add missing dimension names to the header.
Does the data source contain extra spaces or tabs?
Has the updated outline been saved?

How to append records in a file, through file adapter.

Hi All,
How to append records in a file, through file adapter.
I have to read data from database and need to append all records in a file.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I think you have a while loop to hit the DB in your Process (As you said you have to fetch data from DB 10 times if 1000 rec are there)
First sopy your DB O/P to one var
and from second time append to previous data.(Otherwise you can directly use append from starting instead of copy and append)
When loop completes you can transform to File adapter Var.
Otherwise you can configure yourFileadapter such that it will aapend current records to previous records.
You can use 'Append= true' in your file adapter wsdl.
It will append previous records to current records in the same file.
