BLS File Corruption?

[Former Member]

I'm using 11.5, sr3.

I am having problems with the Business Logic Services Logic Editor. Sometimes it is unable to open a file that it had created just hours before. Sometimes is cannot link to a transaction using the Transaction Call action even though the logic editor can still open the file. I have not found a solution other than recreating the file and that is getting a little tedious.

What is going on here? What is the best solution?

Oh, by the way, the transactions that will no longer open are not even the largest ones I have created... some are as small as 25K or smaller where I have some 60K that open without problems.

I had the possibly good fortune to catch a file at the moment of corruption with a good recent backup. I compared the files side by side and found the following malformed xml tags. The malformed tag is the first, the corrected tag is the second:

<Value xsi:type="xsd:string"/>

<Value xsi:type="xsd:string"></Value>

<Value xsi:type="Xml"><ReferenceDocumentSource/>

<Value xsi:type="Xml"><ReferenceDocumentSource></ReferenceDocumentSource>

Note: even the correct tag above appears to be malformed even though the transaction functioned correctly. It probably should be:

<Value xsi:type="Xml"></Value><ReferenceDocumentSource></ReferenceDocumentSource>

<Name/><Description/>

<Name></Name><Description></Description>

</Name></Description>

</Name><Description></Description>

When I made these corrections I was able to get some of the files back. One file also had a <Local/> tag that appears to be the remains of a malformed <Local></Local> but I don't have a non-corrupt file to compare this one with.

So, what is going on here?

Those aren't malformed - those are perfectly legitimate (and equivalent) XML elements.

I agree, but I can't find any other differences between the one example of a set of files I can compare that would explain why one opens and the other does not.

If not this, then what?
