Unknown field error by Update data activity
In Adobe Campaign Classic v8, the Update data activity throws an unknown field error when a workflow updates a field that does not exist in the target schema, which stops execution. To fix this issue, verify that the field exists in the target schema used by the Update data activity and add it or remove the invalid mapping.
Description description
Environment
Campaign Classic v8
Issue/Symptoms
When running the workflow, the following error is thrown by the Update data activity:
writer Attribut 'Fldxxxxxxx' inconnu (voir définition du schéma 'Mise à jour de données (temp:writer-work)')
Cause
The error occurs because the Update data activity is configured to update a field that does not exist in the target schema (the schema selected in the activity as the update destination).
Resolution resolution
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
- Identify the field mentioned in the error message.
- Open the workflow XML and search for the field ID referenced in the error (the number after FId).
- Navigate to the schema that the Update data activity updates and confirm that the field exists there, not only in the workflow.
- If the field is missing and should be present, add it to the schema.
- If it should not be present, remove it from the Update Data activity in the workflow.
