How do I resolve issues with data files?
(Note: The error you encounter might differ from the examples shown here.)
Cause: Various issues can occur with data files for the Contact Verify Component, such as an incorrect path to the data files path or outdated/missing data files.
Solution: Follow these steps to ensure the configuration is correct:
- Step 1: Check for Required Data Files: Ensure you have all the necessary data files for each on-premise object. The required files can be found here:
- Step 2: Verify Data File Path Configuration: Confirm the Data File Path points to the correct location. By default, this path is
C:\Program Files\Melissa DATA\DQT\Data
.
- Step 3: Update Outdated Data Files: If the data files exist and the Data File Path is configured correctly but errors persist, your data files might be outdated. Consider the following actions:
- Option 1: Run the Full On-Premise SSIS Installer
- SSIS builds are released quarterly. You should receive emails from the sales rep with download links for the latest installer. Running this will update the data files.
- If you aren’t receiving these emails, please contact your Sales Rep or our Tech Support.
