Re: my error message is: there is no error message Bob Beattie 07 Jan 2009 12:55 EST
This was a very frequent error back in November. I reported it to Grants.gov, as the Kafka error (From Charlie Hathaway's characterization Oh great! Now the errors have errors. How would Kafka handle this?) I got this response -------------------------- Bob--I am told that this error and the Kafka error both are a result of using the improper version of Adobe Reader to submit and they are a result of broken pipe. Marwan sent me a long string of e-mails on the Kafka e-mail you had sent to Eben so I'm not sure if he got back to you but Marwan indicates both errors are a result of broken pipe. Broken pipe apparently can trigger a variety of error messages. I've asked for a list of the various error messages that could be triggered so that we can post them for people as a resource but I have not received them yet --------------------------- The ubiquitous "Broken Pipe" problem is supposed to be resolved by using Adobe 8.1.3. Has anyone using 8.1.3 gotten this error?

The message is: Error: Unable to obtain error message from exception I called Grants.gov and was told to wait 10-15 minutes to see if I got a second email telling me the application was validated, because that error message means “the system found something but it really didn’t find anything so it will keep trying to push it through.” I waited, and in 15 minutes I got a second email saying the same thing. So I called Grants.gov back and was told that their IT department had no idea what that error message means, and they would work on it but can’t guarantee me that they’ll have it resolved in time for the application to be in by 5pm today. Additionally, when I track the application on Grants.gov it says that the app was “rejected with errors” but that “Sorry, there is no error message info available currently.” Has anyone seen this message before? I am using an accepted version of Adobe so that can’t be the problem. I have both Mozilla and IE on my computer and I am not sure which one the application “chose” to use to submit, but does that make a difference? I do not recall if it ever did before… Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------- Kris Wolff, MA, CRA Grants Officer Office of Sponsored Programs Rose Hill campus, ADM 221 718-817-4086 http://www.fordham.edu/osp ====================================================================== I nstructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
