Reconciliation

The Bloomberg Vault platform has a reconciliation feature which indicates if an uploaded record was successfully processed and ingested into the archive or not. 

The reconciliation process can take up to 2 hours, it is not an instantaneous process. The export job only marks the export successful for a record when the Bloomberg Vault successfully reconciled the uploaded file.

The Bloomberg Vault generates a response XML with the processed media file hashes. If this is not a match with Verba media file hashes the Verba Storage Service will re-try the upload. This re-try can only occur 5 times after this the Verba Storage Service will log that the upload as failed and it will start the (5) tries again in the export task's next schedule time. Also, after 5 failed upload tries the Bloomberg Vault creates an alert and the Bloomberg staff will investigate what caused the failure on their side.

Due to the reconciliation feature in Bloomberg Vault, the system caches the exported files on the local disk of the Media Repository until the Bloomberg Vault system processes the uploads. It is recommended to allocate at least the size of the total export as free space always available for the system.
