Problem:

When running the Batch Refresh Process (BRP) in Enterprize Analyzer, the following error occurs ...

Unhandled Exception : System.FormatException: Input String was not in a correct format. 

at System.Number.StringToNumber<String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFOrmatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal> 

at System.Number.ParseInt32<String s,NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info> 

at  runBRP.Context.PopulateCollections<> 

at  runBRP.Context.LoadParamsFromFile<String sFile> 

at  runBRP.Program.Main<String[] args>

What is the cause of this and how can it be rectified?

Resolution:

When the BRP is configured from the Enterprise Analyzer Administration tool, the BRP.ini file is generated using the User Interface.

The contents of an example BRP.ini , from the Spanish customer, is below and contains an invalid entry (highlighted) which caused the failure reported.

Debug =  1

RMWInstallPath = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\Enterprise Analyzer

BRPInstallPath = M:\\MFA\\BRP_LCMM

BRPRunType = Master

Site = client Workspace

Dir = M:\\MFA\\LCMM

ObsoleteProcessing = 0

RunIMSAnalysis = 0

CleanQueue =Verdadero

RestoreIndices = 1

RunExecReport = 0

RunWebGen =  0

LaunchHCC =  1

DropInd = Auto

WaitHCCBefore = No

WaitHCC =  15

ExtraHCC =  1

GeneratePCF = both

The problem entry  is  "CleanQueue =Verdadero"

The entry should contain either "CleanQueue =True" or "CleanQueue =False"

Although "Verdadero" is Spanish for True, the process objects and the BRP batch run fails.

Correct the entry to either "CleanQueue =True" or "CleanQueue =False" and re-run the BRP process again
