P4141 Null Machine ID JAS error

I have an issue inside P4141:W4141A - Work with Cycle Count review.

Was just curious to know if anyone has seen an BSFN error (B9800182) with the function GetLocalMachineID() in JAS. The BSFN returns null.

The offending ER (Row exited & changed - inline) was introduced with SAR 6919940 (JD21202) to correctly populate the Item Master.

In OCM, the BSFN has a special mapping to LOCAL in the J environments only.

It works OK on the thick client (no OCM remap ofcourse) though the BSFN returns '2' and the MKEY field in the item master does interestingly get populated with the correct machine id.

I'm a little nervous to remap the OCM to the server as it may break something somewhere else..

Cheers,

OK,

Just for future reference. The issue first appeared for us with Xu8. The SAR from PSoft to rectify the problem is 6998781 - though it is in development and may not be out until after the summer.

The temporary solution (it works) is to disable the offending ER line of code GetLocalMachineID() though they will affect auditing in some of the item master related tables.

Good luck,
