Question

Why does the ETL log file contain the error:
"CIRC-LOGGER: Minimum date invalid in configuration file"?

The configuration file has:
./xxx50/tab/arc_conf_table.conf

[CIRC-LOGGER]
from date=20200101

We do not want to extract data from the circulation logger table.

Answer

The warning 'CIRC-LOGGER: Minimum date invalid in configuration file' indicates that the from date is in the future.
It can be ignored.

Additional Information

a. If you do not want to extract data from the circulation logger table (z309), it is correct to define a future date.

b. The log file shows, how many circulation logger records are extracted:
./xxx50/scratch/p_arc_01.log
