Product Import Never Notifies When Finished and Successful

For over a year now it seems BC never notifies when a product import has successfully completed, if you are importing more than a couple hundred records. This happens whether you use IE, Firefox, or Chrome in Windows, and it happens in the many different BC sites I import products into.
The import begins and the loading spinner appears, but it stays stuck on this forever and never goes to the screen to tell you the import is done. You therefore have no way to know if the import finishes correctly or not. It's frustrating because if you abort the import screen too early you harm the import, so you have to wait forever to be sure you've allowed enough time for it to complete.
After you abort, the only method to know if it worked is in your last record of the import file, have some changed info that you can later lookup in BC Admin to see if it transferred.
Presenlty if I try to import more than 500 records at a time it will always fail.

Had to import 42,000 products. Found I can split the CSV or TXT file into pieces using a free program like GSplit into 2000 record subfiles and import those OK. While there is no notification from BC when the import is done running, testing shows that it takes a little less than 25 minutes for BC to import 2000 products, so after that time I can kill the never-ending BC job, then check in BC product search to verify if the last product in my import file has in fact been imported without error.
Took more than 11 hours to complete the import this way.
Looking forward to the release of the new BC import/export software as soon as possible...

  • Production in other plant for finish and semifinish

    Hi Friends,
    We have following scenario:
    i)    Finish Product FP1 and Semifinish Product SF1 exist in both Plant X and Y.
    ii)   BOM for FP1 consists of SF1.
    iii)  SF1 is produced in Plant X and FP1 in Plant Y.
    iv)  Planning plant for FP1 is X.
    v)   I have tried with special procurement key 'production in other plant'.
    vi)  SF1 is produced in Plant X and GR done directly to plant Y for consumpton to FP1.
    vii) FP1 is produced in plant Y and GR done directly to plant X.
    Here instead of doing GR  directlyto the consuming plant the client wants to do Stock Transport for both SF1 and FP1.Please suggest any method to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    For Halb: DepReq in receiving plant and no receipt elements in prouducing plant.
    I am expecting also for Halb: Purchase Requisition in recieving plant(Y) and a planned order in producing plant(X) just like Fert.
    You stated you have DepReq for SFG in PlantY (receiving plant), nut MRP did not generate prourement proposal (PurReq) for it.
    In this case you should check the planning situation (e.g. whether you have sufficient stock to cover the requirement). If the procurement proposal is missing and this do not originate from the planning situation (e.g. stock level, stock like elements(STO, existing PurReq, etc.)), you should check your master data settings (e.g. MRP type) - if your master data settings are proper, MRP should generate procurement proposal (please be aware that in case of "VB" MRP type system watches the so called reorder point!).
    So, second MRP run should generate the mentioned PurReq for SFG (in PlantY) and at this moment you should get requierement in PlantX (that produces SFG). Third MRP run would generate procurement proposal (PldOrd) in PlantX.
    Please check master data (BOM, material master) settings of SFG.
    Regards,

  • Product Release Date being default set to 01-Jan-2000 when exporting and importing product file

    Hi there,
    Just putting this out there to see if anyone else has experienced this problem.
    We've just redeveloped an art site that relies on the product release date to order work, newest first, by the date they added it  {tag_productlist,,,20,releasedate,true,true}
    However, we've hit an issue whereby the 'release date' field is set to 01-Jan-2000 when we export and then import the product file, thus chnaging the ordering. The date can't be set on the import file (unlike web apps) and we haven't changed thousands of products manually. BC support have been stumped, suggesting it's our Mac's system date, but this is set automatically and accurate...and we don't want to change the release date anyway, that should just be the date the product was originally released.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatfully received as this was a key part of the site design/development. This is the site http://hanguppictures.com
    Cheers
    Paul

    Ran into the same issue. I was using the release date to flag latest products, regardless of ordering. Unfortunately running a product import then destroyed all that work.
    Found this thread with a staff reponse regarding it not being possible to set release dates using import, but it doesn't explain why release dates get reset.

  • I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID

    I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID

    Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

  • I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine.  Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store.  Help.

    I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine.  Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store.  Help.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Having trouble with imports never finishing

    I am having trouble with imports that never finished. It is almost like the pictures are stuck on one image. the only way to get out of Iphoto is to force quit. The next time I open, there are a number of images that still need to be imported, but the import never finishes and seems to stop at the same image. When I go to close down I get the message that Photos are being imported to the library.
    Anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Photo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out your iPhoto library and make sure all photos are viewable and there. Force quitting when iPhoto is working can corrupt the database file, Library6.iPhoto. Make a backup copy of it and save in another folder.
    First make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder. Now download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Open iPhoto and see if it will work OK.
    If not, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Lastly use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    Do you Twango?

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

  • I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears.

    I downloaded and installed Production Premuim CS5 on my computer and when I try to open it out of the applications folder it bounces at the bottom and then disappears. Does anyone know why this is? I've tried everything to open them but they will not open. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have a mac osx version 10.9.2. I used to have the student version of creative cloud cs6 earlier this year. I cancelled my subscription several months ago and bought cs5 two weeks ago. I never had any problems with the cloud. I went through the entire download process for CS5, and they all showed up in my applications folder and appeared to have downloaded but every time I try to open them they bounce around next to the application manager icon and then disappear.

  • My iphone 4 is telling me I have to restore but when I plug in and connect to itunes, it freezes about 30-50 % through the process. Now I can't use my phone at all? I am waiting about 1-3 hours for this process to finish and nothing ever happens. HELP!!

    Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

  • Can you set the Tax Code value in the Product Import File to "Tax Never Applies"?

    We have taxable and non-taxable items in our store and I need to be able to set all non-taxable food items to "Tax Never Applies" in the Product Import document. Does anyone know a work around for this? Applying this setting to hundreds of items is not ideal at all.
    Many thanks in advance!
    -Eric

    Did you ever get an answer?  I'm in the same boat...the only way I can seem to not charge tax to my wholesale clients is to set "tax never applies".  But I got over 300 products...how can I do it "en mass"???
    Anybody??
    I tried creating a special tax code at 0% but that didn't do it either.
    thanks in advance,

  • HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
