Production errors

When staging and running a production job, staging, validation, branding, and post production errors can occur.

Staging errors

Staging errors occur when:

  • The same document is found in multiple data sources.
    When the same document appears in multiple data sources, an error message appears. The error message identifies the data sources that returned the same document and which document they returned. To resolve the error, modify the saved searches you selected as your data sources so they do not return any of the same documents.
  • There are no documents in the data sources.
    When no documents are found in the data sources, an error message appears. To resolve the error, make sure the saved searches you selected as your data sources are returning documents.
  • There are missing files in the data source.
    When documents in the data source do not have images, natives, or PDFs, an error message appears. To resolve the error, modify the data sources, then click Stage and Run Production.

    The file at <file path> could not be opened or is not a valid image file.
    • If the document is encrypted, add the document's password to the Password Bank. For more information, see Password Bank.
