• Nodelist

    Howdy,

    I just noticed today that my directory stopped recording receipt of a nodelist last year.

    At the same time, I have a couple of inbound nodelists which didnt import because the nodelist file already existed (and it was old) - and there is no replaces line in the TIC file.

    Could you add one?

    Okay, I added that option in ALLFIX ... let's see what it does. :)

    Howdy,

    I saw in my inbound today the nodelist that wasnt processed.

    When I checked into it, it wasnt processed because I already had a nodelist METLIST.Z69 from June 21.

    Any chance you can added a "REPLACES" line, so the new nodelist deletes old ones?

    I added that to ALLFIX, but other than that, I have no access to do so.

    Hmm... I'm not seeing any TIC files with REPLACES in it.

    So your nodelists are not being processed because an old one exists...

    Are you using TickIt to toss incoming files? Have a look at the ForceReplace option for the Metronet nodelist area. It'll keep files moving in the right direction.

    So your nodelists are not being processed because an old one exists...

    Maybe Exodus can add the "Replaces" line at some point but in the mean time that'll get the job done.
