Data Loss Due To MTFeeders

Post by kenship »

Our consultant forwarded an alert from IBM this morning regarding MTFeeders.

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview. ... bm10742569

Basically, MTFeeders should now be turned off in TM1s.cfg file until it's sorted out.

When I transit from 10.2 to PA 2.0.4, this is the first major problem. We created a new instance and MTFeeders was set to "T" by default, causing some of the input cells that are also fed to loose data.

The alert confirmed it.

The link has no date or version reference so its hard to be sure if this tech note is still current?

There was an old defect in this space which has already been fixed, are we sure this is new / regression?

The page says 27th November 2018 so it's not that old, or that new either.

Hi Steve,

For me the link says this:

My experience was that the problem was there earlier than 2.0.5.

We upgraded to 2.0.4 and immediately was the biggest issue. Our server was new and therefore MTFeeders was on and we didn't notice.

I asked the question back in Oct here and no one seemed to have a clue. Any way I worked around by rewriting the feeders and now it's OK.
