Hello,

I am relatively new to EE and am encountering the following error when attempting to view data from a sequential file stage and/or running a small job that reads/writes data from sequential files.

"main_program: Fatal Error: this APT_Locator is invalid: Empty locator"

Is this error due to an EE setup configuration miscue or to something not being properly set within the job?

Any help would be appreciated,

Hi csimms,

Are you using the $APT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable as a job parameter? In the job parameter list move $APT_CONFIG_FILE parameter to the top of the list.

First, thanks for responding. The error was in fact related to the APT_CONFIG_FILE. At some point after our EE installation (it did test ok at a point in time) a block point upgrade was performed on the server which had an apparent affect on our EE as APT_CONFIG_FILE was not being initialized. Once this issue was resolved, the error disappeared.

Thanks again,

Hi Rich,
Ever faced any issue with the order of the $APT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable in job properties grid
