Files that are in the AutoImport directory are simply ignored. They are not moved to the Error directory and it seems that they are not processed at all.
Whenever data are written to the database (either by import or editing), a temporary database named TDBxxxx.DB (where xxxx is the sensor number) is created in the station directory, where the new values are stored first. In a next step, the data are then transferred from the temporary database to the actual database.
If the temporary database already exists, Hydras3 tries to delete the database. If the database was created by another user or the database is currently open, it cannot be deleted. In this case Hydras3 cannot import in this sensor and ignores the import file. In the AutoImport cycle (every minute), Hydras3 tries again to import the file. Usually as soon as the temporary database is removed, the import will be successful. However there are cases, when the temporary database, which was created by a different user is not properly removed (e.g. because Hydras3 was terminated using the task manager while editing the data), the temporary database remains forever and blocks the AutoImport forever.
Solution: Locate the temporary database TDBxxxx.DB (where xxxx is the sensor number) in the directory of the corresponding station and delete this file and also the TDBxxxx.PX file manually.
