PRISM Connect Troubleshooting

This section can be used to diagnose common warnings and errors reported in PRISM Connect.


Warnings


Warnings occur when a sync occurs and transfers data, but the outcome of the sync may need manual adjustment depending on your billing process

Warning Message: Subscription cost unit price changed from [00.00] to [00.00] on [DD MMM YYYY]

Tool: ConnectWise
Description & Action Required: The product associated with this subscription had a cost price change part-way through the usage month. The PRISM Connect sync process will not change price automatically part-way through the month so you should review the Additions created in ConnectWise to determine if changes are required prior to invoicing your customer.

Tool: ConnectWise
Description & Action Required: As above except a change in the retail or RRP price has occurred.
 

Errors

When an error occurs, PRISM Connect has failed to sync the data for one or more subscriptions. 

Error Message: AutoTask returned an error response: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_service'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Service'. The duplicate key value is (*********************). Error updating database for new entity records.

For example, if a product SKU is sku_1357, then when the service is created in AutoTask, the service name will be CP_sku_1357. Because all service names are required to be unique, if a service with that name already exists, the error will occur.
It is recommended to rename or delete the service that is causing the conflict, and then sync products again. After successfully syncing the product, and required changes can be made, including changing the name.
PRISM Connect will continue to sync the PRISM product to the same service in AutoTask.
