Symptoms

When you use Commerce Server 2002 Business Desk (BizDesk) in a distributed environment, you may receive the following BizDesk error message:

Error occurred in publishing, 302 Found

↑ Back to the top

Cause

This problem occurs because Commerce Server 2002 Business Desk does not have error handling to redirect correctly when it receives a 302 error from the server.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, check the HTTP status when you call the site refresh pages. If a 302 is returned, read the location from the response header, and then use this information to call the site one more time.

For these files on your Business Desk site

Bizdesk\Catalogs\Editor\List_Catalogs.asp
Bizdesk\Productionrefresh\Refresh.asp
Bizdesk\Profiles\RefreshProfileSvcAll.asp

insert the following code:

'After the first send, check the status, and then redirect if error 302
'is returned:
If srvXmlHttp.status = 302 Then
	sURLString = srvXmlHttp.getResponseHeader("Location")
	Set srvXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
	Call srvXmlHttp.Open ("GET", sURLString, false)
	Call srvXmlHttp.Send()
End if
