MDSERR310029

MDSERR310029|The status of the specified batch is not valid.

This error occurs when using the entity-based staging process (leaf tables). If multiple entries of the same BatchTag value are executed concurrently, this error can appear. It can happen in the same entity or different entities or models.

The best solution I’ve found is to update mdm.tblStgBatch and set the status_id for the BatchTag to completed. You can then update the BatchTag name in the leaf and reset the ImportStatus_ID back to 0 and reprocess the batch.

An alternative is to append a timestamp to the BatchTag to make it unique. That should keep this from happening.

Default value for “ErrorCode”

by Leave a Comment

MDS 2016 is a big improvement over the previous versions. There are many enhancements in almost every area. One change I had not noticed in MDS 2016 is that a default value has been added for the “ErrorCode” attribute in the staging tables.

One situation where this may be an issue is when SSIS is used to stage data. If the “Keep nulls” value is checked in the Destination configuration, the insert will result in an error.
