MB Affinity: The R.exe exit code (259) indicated an error

Joe_Lipski

Love the new MB Affinity tool and it runs a lot quicker with the MR Rules & Inspect tools and you can get similar analysis out of it. However:

When running with over C. 500K records I hit an error: MB Affinity: The R.exe exit code (259) indicated an error

The Workflow I'm running looks like this: 

The data Looks like this:

There are: 661,083 Records going into the MB Affinity tool. 779 Unique Products and 289,655 Unique Transactions

Here are the detailed macro messages which (I don't think) help:

My machince specs are: 

So I don't think this should be causing the issue.

The module does output data, which looks correct.

Any help debugging would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

This is a false error that originates from the Microsoft C++ runtime library. When people report "errors" like this on the R e-mail list, the response is always something along the lines of: “We don’t know what the error code means (Microsoft has never publicly published a list) and we find that they don’t matter, so ignore it.” This advice is relevant here. If a true error had occurred, then the MB Affinity tool would not have produced produced the simmilarity/disimmilarity matrix. Unfortunately, I don't believe we are able to trap these misreported errors.
