LAC/E32 in buffering mode after renaming Empower project parent - WKB86310

Article number: 86310

SYMPTOMS

  • All vials of the sample set have been drilled
  • Sample set is not in the project
  • In recover.log of the LAC/E32:
    15-Jan-20 11:12:57  Begin Recover Sweep
    15-Jan-20 11:12:57  Unable to connect to Node EMPOWER3 Project ProjectParent2019\ProjectA
    15-Jan-20 11:12:57  Failed to recover Sample Set from file C:\Empower\InstrumentServer\HPLC\EMPOWER3\ProjectParent2019^ProjectA\SampSet-294967275.dat
    15-Jan-20 11:12:57  End Recover Sweep

ENVIRONMENT

  • Empower 3 Enterprise

CAUSE

The Empower parent of the project was renamed after the launch of the sample set (ProjectParent2019 was renamed to ProjectParent2020).

FIX or WORKAROUND

  1. Rename the parent project with the old name (ProjectParent2019).
  2. Wait 20 minutes and verify that the recovery was successful.
  3. After the recovery, provided you do have no sample set in progress in the child projects, rename the parent.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The same issue arises if the project is moved to another project parent during the acquisition. Move the project back to the original parent project and wait at least 10 minutes. Then you can move the project to the parent project.
