The product-queue module will not write a data-product into the product-queue whose MD5 checksum is identical to that of a data-product that's already in the product-queue. This is done to reject duplicate products and was a deliberate design decision. If you must work around this feature, then I suggest including a timestamp in the data-product's data. This will make the MD5 checksums different for data-products that are, otherwise, identical. > PS: Attached file is part of our interface. > > Best Regards, > > Charlie Chang Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: MIY-342905 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
