Which products are affected?
Global Drive Loader Version 1.x, 2.0
What happens?
The execution of the script file in the 'Batch' mode is aborted and the following error message is indicated 'Error when opening the …file'.
When does the problem occur?
In the 'Batch' mode the GD Loader processes a script defined by the user in which an action is defined by a key. Every key consists of a key name, an equals sign and a key value (e.g. ShowProcessing=1). It is possible to assign a comment to every key. The comment must be separated from the key value by inserting a semicolon. If another semicolon is included in the comment, the execution of the script file will be aborted and an error message will be indicated.
Possible diagnostics?
The faulty line of the script file is indicated in the protocol file (GDLoader.txt).
Short-term measures/recommendations?
The semicolon should only be used to separate the comment from the key value. The semicolon must not be used again within the comment.
Evaluation:
If in a script file the semicolon is used more than once within a comment, the GD Loader identifies this as an error. As a result, the script processing is aborted. The error is indicated in the protocol file.
