Error Handling

When loading data into integer fields (such as hardware_server.purchase_amount) previous versions of GRLoader would attempt to load the data resulting in partial and incorrect data. The current GRLoader generates a warning message indicating the data is invalid. The only valid characters in an integer field are [0-9].

Because using the –ad option often results in an attribute warning message when both CI and relationships are imported in the same run, referring to an invalid attribute in a CI or Relationship definition results in a warning instead of an error. The Ignore Invalid Attribute –iia option can be used to suppress these warnings.
