Abandoned Job in File Exchange
Jun 22, 2012 03:29 AM

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to uploaded some new listings and with a few files I get the "Abandoning Job" error but no real explanation.

 

I'm fairly certain its going to be related to HTML formatting in the description somewhere, however as Im uploading 1000 listings, going through each description isnt really practical.

 

Does anyone know a list of characters that could be invalid that I could search the document for?

 

I've already deleted a few ¶ characters as I know it doesn't like those but I still cant get it to upload.

 

Many Thanks

Hi cobalttiger,

 

For us to better address this issue, please reply to this post with the File Exchange Upload Results Reference #.  We can then take a look at the actual file you have uploaded.

Hi theboatsale,

 

That specific uploaded file failed because the file doesn't have any Headers.

 

You need to make sure the file has the proper headers to have the system accept it.
