Problem Note 63481: The alert generation process (AGP) fails at the FCF_UPDATE_ALERT_HISTORY step in SAS® Anti-Money Laundering
 |  |  |  |  |
The AGP fails at the FCF_UPDATE_ALERT_HISTORY step in SAS Anti-Money Laundering with the following error message in the AGP log:
ERROR: File WORK.NEW_ALERTS.DATA does not exist.
This issue occurs when the FCF_SUPPRESSION macro in the AGP is not executed.
The workaround is either to add the WORK.NEW_ALERTS data set manually or to enable the optional FCF_SUPPRESSION macro. Creating the data set manually is an easier and lower-risk solution for most environments, so that is the recommended next step.
Here is an example of how to create the WORK.NEW_ALERTS data set, which should be done immediately before you begin the FCF_UPDATE_ALERT_HISTORY step of the AGP:
data work.new_alerts;
set mst_aler.entity_alerts;
run;
set mst_aler.entity_alerts;
run;
Alternatively, if preferred, you can enable the FCF_SUPPRESSION macro step instead of adding the WORK.NEW_ALERTS data set.
