Understanding Audit Trail and Error File Messages
Whenever you upload or download a recipe from the Recipe Builder, the program examines the recipe to see if it is complete and can be uploaded or downloaded. If the recipe is complete, the Recipe Builder examines the recipe for errors, as described in the chapter Downloading and Uploading Recipes.
If the recipe is not complete, it displays an error message box with one of the following lines of text:
Download of recipe recipe aborted text
Upload of recipe recipe aborted text
where text is the reason that the upload or download aborted. These messages also appear in the error file when uploading or downloading a recipe with a Program block or a VBA script.
Text in the Audit Trail
The reason for aborting the upload or download also appears in each recipe message saved in the audit trail, if the audit trail is enabled for uploaded or downloaded recipe. For more information about the audit trail, refer to the section Using an Audit Trail.
The following table lists the reasons for the aborted upload or download and the response to the error.
