Query cannot be previewed due to the following problem – there are no columns defined

We recently came across a case where Integration Manager was not able to read any records despite the fact that the source file referenced in the integration was correct and contained valid data when the file was opened in Notepad.

When we tried to preview the file contents, we received the following message:

For whatever reason Integration Manager does not like multiple periods in the file name, which originally was ‘Invoices_MM.DD.YYYY.csv’. After removing the periods that were used as separators in the file name, the file was correctly read by Integration Manager as we had initially expected. If you are still encountering a similar problem, please reach out to us at Support@BondConsultingServices.com for an appropriate solution recommendation. Trust in the expertise of BCS to optimize your ERP investment.
