APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When trying to perform deletions using Data Load, the tool
  generates a NullPointerException when the record doesn't exist.
  This is the expected behaviour, however there is no option for
  the utility to skip the error.
  

Local fix

• Remove the deletion entry in the input file which references the
  non-existent record.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  Users running Data Load on WebSphere Commerce V7 FEP4.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  When trying to perform deletions using Data Load, the tool
  generates a NullPointerException when the record doesn't exist.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  "Soft" errors such as the attempted deletion of a record which
  does not exist are treated the same as all other errors forcing
  a manual cleanup of the input data.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix adds mediator logic to optionally ignore the soft error
  on deletion of a non-existent record and continue processing.
  
  To use the option, add the following line to the file
  wc-dataload.xml
          <_config:property name="actionOnError" value="1" />
  immediately after the line
      <_config:LoadOrder ... >
