The catalog seems to be really messed up. I was getting some whacky results (see below), and when I went to do a backup and compact I got this error message which I assume is related to this problem. However, the error wasn't consistant - I did a snapshot with error followed by successful compact...then 5 mins later...successful snapshot followed by compact with error...
The file contained text like this :
This is kind of obvious as I deleted ALL of the products (see below), but as custom properties are part of products how is it still around?
What I was doing before this happened...
I am planning to import my products from a heirarchical csv file and have been doing some test imports.
I imported about 15 products, with 15 corresponding duplicates. The duplicates have a customvar called 'link' which has the html address of the product page.
While testing the products I noticed that one, and only one, of the duplicates had two customvars both called 'link'. One was correct, the other pointed to one of the other products.
I deleted all of the products and dupes from actinic, edited the csv file so it only had this one particular product and corresponding dupe. I imported it and it is exactly the same. The weird thing is that I did a search of the .csv file and it does not even contain the mystery link - so where the heck is it getting it from? It must be remembering it in actinic somewhere...
Some problems were found with the product properties and/or variants. These were logged in the file c:\.....
Properties with no valid product reference:
The CustomProperty 'ABC123' has an invalid product reference '!106' and has therefore been deleted.
The CustomProperty 'ABC123' has an invalid product reference '!106' and has therefore been deleted.
