Script Monitor stuck on "Building"

Issue

When you launch AccuZIP6, your monitor button just says "Building" and sits like that for a time, making it unable to be clicked.

Reason

What that's doing is querying all of your current watch folders for files it could be processing. Normally that's not an issue, but when you run a script, you may notice that AccuZIP6 archives files into folders in many cases. So if you had a "C:\Working" watch folder set up, when your script finishes, you may have an extra "Demofile 03202015" folder inside from when that script ran.

Your watch folder will not pick this up to process, but when the Script window launches, it sees that folder. And it's scanning through its contents for something to process. Then it moves to the next archive folder, and the next--multiply that by the number of watch folders you have set up. That is the reason for this behavior.

Solution

The only way to prevent it is to clear those archives out from the watched folders. If those are eliminated and it has nothing to keep scanning, it will not go through that behavior. It's not an issue with the number of scripts you have, but an issue with the amount of folders and files to scan through within the watch folders.

AccuZIP’s Professional Services Team has been a great resource for helping me launch Informed Delivery campaigns for my clients. I am a small direct mail marketing agency specializing in helping my clients find and retain new customers with direct mail. Informed Delivery is the best thing the post office has come up with in my 30+ years in the business. However, just like everything else with the post office, they don't make it easy. AccuZIP has made doing these digital campaigns very simple. I have analyzed campaign results and found the price per click through to the client's website less than an Adword campaign. I am looking forward to working with AccuZIP and their entire Professional Services Team with more clients and campaigns.
