Summary

When attempting to process a function in an Advantage Series module such as Day End processing in Inventory Control or batch posting in the General Ledger, one or more of the following errors may occur.

Error pcsStart Error
Error pcsStart error (1046 ICDEP1.C)
Error pcsStart error (1224 GLJPSTI.C)

Subsequently, the process may not complete and a restart record may be created.

Solution

Rename the RESTART.ism file located in C:\Program Files\ACCPAC\SITE folder(This is the default location but your particular installation may be to a different directory). Once that is done, reprocess the function that originally generated the error.

Note: The RESTART.ism file will be recreated automatically as the program needs it however, it will not retain any of your previous restart records. It may be necessary to process all outstanding restart records prior to renaming the file
