Error OL-293-A: Last two days on one FI only (??) Margaret Wilson 11-16-2006

Hello,

The last couple days I've been getting an error (OL-293-A) from my local
credit union when doing my morning OSU. All other bank accounts and
credit cards download just fine. I assumed it was a server glitch that
would be fixed by today, but I got same error this AM. BTW, this FI
does direct download, and I have two accounts configured. All has
worked fine for the several months the service has been avail.

First I called my FI to see if they had a server prob. They said
servers were fine, but they did have several calls from users with this
same error. Tech rep said they'd called Intuit, who'd told them to have
users dump all cookies and reboot, and if that didn't fix it, to follow
these dirs:

http://tinyurl.com/yyu2fn

Well, of course, dumping all cookies, cache, etc. (and rebooting), had
no effect (which I'd figured), so I started working through the
directions. I've done everything, even reverted to each of several diff
backups before last successful download (11/14/10:13am), but prob is
still there. (I retain daily dated backups, so this was a simple task.)
I copied and validated my file, which showed data file was fine. I
created a new account, and it wouldn't even activate direct download for
my FI, because it was still generating the OL-293-A error. Even
deactivated and tried reactivating downloads on a copy of my data file,
and I could deactivate but not reactivate w/o this same error. Just
supervalidated with no errors in my copied data file, and error persists
on OSU.

I'm beginning to think that perhaps my FI's server(s) is/are having
probs and they don't know it yet, because they haven't had enough calls.

Does anyone have any advice on this one? Anything I haven't thought of yet?

Thx and Regards,

Margaret

I had a similar problem with HSBC yesterday, but I think it as an OL-301
error.

I also couldn't login to the HSBC website, and I had to have their tech
department re-enable website access.

I'm sure you've already confirmed that the website is working for you, but
in case you haven't ...

Good luck!

Bob

Thanks Bob, but unfortunately yes, the FI's web site is working just
fine for me. That's how I've been checking my transactions. :-)

Margaret

I see that you made a Copy of your data and Validated; but I
can't tell for certain from your post it you Deactivate 100% of
your accounts (not just the one having a problem, and not just
for the fi where you are having problems) for Transaction
Download before you did the Validate?

There are some problems Validate can not catch when any accounts
are Activated for download.

I tend to think that at least part of the problem may be at the
fi's end, as you suggest, so even a thorough Validate may not
help. But it can't hurt (well, at least not as much as not
being able to download).

Hi John, no I only deactivated the two accounts from the affected FI.
Guess I will copy my file, deactivate *all* accounts and try again if
it's not working w/in the next couple days.

Will post back when it's finally fixed. :-)

Thx and Regards,

Margaret
