Catalog Loader

Ever faced this problem?

Catalog loader fails with USR:MSG:POM_CAT_UNKNOWN_SEC Error Message

You have download sample catalog file from Apps and prepared a new one according to the sample. But still it fails.

You cross check the sample and your file, and you spot no differences.

Whats happening??

The metalink note "271354.1 - Bulk Loader Fails with USR:MSG:POM_CAT_UNKNOWN_SEC Error Message" suggest the format is wrong and says there should not exist any blank lines between the heading and its associated data lines.

This sentence "any blank lines between heading and data lines" can be misleading .

Thing is if there are blank lines at the end after all your data, the file would fail upload.
So remove all blank lines from the file and make sure the last record is indeed last record with no blanks.

Cheers!
