  • 1.  XML Data not appearing in Datalinq

    Posted 10-31-2014 13:42
    I'm having a really peculiar problem with Datalinq.

    We have a script that pulls elections results from an FTP and saves them as XML's on our network. Datalinq will read the XML's fine for awhile. Eventually it fails and it appears I have to manually delete about 2/3 of the data out of the XML to get datalinq to start reading it again.

    I thought this was fixing the problem for the awhile but it turns out that when the script updates, datalinq continues to read the old information

    Is the XML datalinq set to "poll" or "wait for file change events". If the file is on a network drive you will need to use "poll" otherwise it can stop receiving the events due to the way windows networking works (or doesn't) with the file change events.

    It's on Poll every 5 seconds.

    And I was wrong about the problem staying fixed. Even though the XML is getting replaced, datalinq is still reading old information.

    EDIT: We tracked the problem down to a single name with an odd character
