Errors and Warnings
As you likely know, any error coming up in RED, like the error seen below, is a “hard-stop” error. If the error appears in red, this means that minimum information is missing, and the item cannot be saved or transmitted.
However, it’s also important to note that some orange “warning” messages will also actually prevent the transmission of data and some will not!
If the orange warning message has the word "WARNING:" at the beginning of the error, as in the example below, then this warning message is just a strong recommendation, but will not prevent the data from flowing out to the recipient.
If the orange warning message does not have "WARNING" at the beginning, as in the example below, then that means this attribute listed in the orange error is absolutely required. As long as that playlist is active on that item and the supplier is trying to publish to that recipient, then the data will not flow until that orange warning message is resolved. Note that in the orange message below, it even says that this attribute "is required".
We are slowly updating errors like the ones above to now include the words “PUBLICATION IMPACT:” at the beginning of the orange growler message to alert the customer to the fact that as long as they have that playlist active on that item, they must resolve that orange growler message before the data will flow to that recipient.
Also, please understand that those warning messages are specific to that playlist and recipient. So, for example, let’s say a customer has an item published to Dot Foods and to Walmart. Let’s say the orange growler ‘publication impact’ message is coming up for the Dot Foods playlist, but there are no warnings or errors associated with the Walmart playlist. That means the data will flow out just fine to Walmart and only the Dot Foods publication will be impacted.
You will find that in the IM Participant Dictionary, there is a tab called “IM Playlist Attributes”. It contains all the attributes associated with the “generic” industry playlists. We are not permitted to publish the list of attributes that are associated with specific recipient playlists because some of those attributes are proprietary and private.
We do, however, also have a tab on the IM PD called “IM Playlists” and it lists out all of the industry and recipient-specific playlists that are available.
