agent's batch job failed: processed statements out of order and matc

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Matching is period-aware by design: an invoice raised in December is settled by a payment in January, and each side belongs to its own statement period. Processing statements out of order let January payments meet December's open items as if both were December. Rebuild the run as a sequence: sort statements by period, match within and across periods deliberately with the direction recorded, and re-run the affected months. Then fix the scheduler so statements always process in chronological order.

agent's batch job failed: processed statements out of order and matched January payments to December invoices

Use this when

• Match results pair payments and invoices across periods in ways that ignore the payment direction in time.
• The job processed statements in an arbitrary or parallel order.
• Re-running one month changes the next month's match results unexpectedly.

Not for this skill when

• A payment genuinely settles an invoice from a prior period. That is normal AR or AP ageing, handled inside an ordered pipeline, not this bug.
• The periods in question are both open and the business wants one combined view. Then define the combined period explicitly instead of letting random order create it.

Steps

1. List the statements the job processed with their periods and the order they actually ran. Verify: the out-of-order sequence is documented from run logs
2. Identify the affected matches: pairs where the period assignment of payment or invoice is wrong, starting with the January to December examples. Verify: affected pairs are enumerated, not just sampled
3. Unmatch or reverse the wrongly assigned pairs in the affected periods. Verify: both periods return to pre-run open item state before reprocessing
4. Rebuild the job to process statements strictly in chronological order, with cross-period applications applied deliberately and labelled by direction. Verify: a test run with deliberately shuffled input still processes in period order
5. Re-run the affected periods in order and reconcile each period's closing open items. Verify: each period's rec now agrees and cross-period applications are explainable

Compatibility: Agent batch matching over monthly statement periods with cross-period settlement logic.

Why it happens

Ledgers are temporal: an open item exists in a period, and payments move items across periods forward in time. A matcher that ignores processing order implicitly rewrites history, letting future cash settle past items within the past period's books. The results look almost right because the pairings are real, but period balances, ageing, and cut-off all corrupt silently. Ordering is not an optimisation; it is a correctness property of period accounting.

Edge cases / pitfalls

• Parallelising by period is still possible, but the cross-period application phase must run as a separate ordered step after all periods are matched.
• Backdated corrections need the same discipline: process them in the corrected order, not in arrival order.
• Keep the processing order in the run metadata; a future debugger will thank you when results look strange.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent run to search systems for a requester's personal data by doing this first: capture the exact step where the run to search systems for a requester's personal data stopped, fix that step first, whether a refused permission, a missing input, or a bad mapping, then resume the run from its last checkpoint with each finished item marked so nothing is collected twice. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent failed to complete the job to search systems for a requester's personal data

Use this when

• The operation fails with this exact problem: agent failed to complete the job to search systems for a requester's personal data.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An audit, review, or request is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a platform outage notice or a general sign-in failure. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the agent run to search systems for a requester's personal data, and copy the full message plus the item, account, or request involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in an old log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: capture the exact step where the run to search systems for a requester's personal data stopped, fix that step first, whether a refused permission, a missing input, or a bad mapping, then resume the run from its last checkpoint with each finished item marked so nothing is collected twice. Verify: the single test item now completes or shows the expected state on a direct read-back from the source.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same connection, mapping, owner, or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions, or statuses against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign-off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input, and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied, and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

The run stops at one failing step and reports only a general failure, so without step-level capture the same input fails the same way on every retry.

TL;DR

Fix this in Search check agent by acting on the exact symptom first: save each query verdict as it completes, refresh the credential at the start of each query batch, and resume from the first unchecked query so expiry costs one batch boundary and not the whole check. Do not repeat the same edit, search or run unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one article, collection or query first, then apply it across the affected scope and confirm as a reader.

Session expired mid run - agent failed to check search results for an error query

Use this when

• Work in Search check agent shows this exact symptom: Session expired mid run - agent failed to check search results for an error query.
• The same symptom repeats after a retry with unchanged inputs.
• Readers or support agents are blocked until this item is corrected.

Not for this skill when

• The help center platform itself is down or returning outage notices. Resolve that first, then return here if this symptom remains.
• The content is correct and you only want a style or tone rewrite. That is an editorial pass, not this fix.

Steps

1. Reproduce the symptom with the smallest scope that still shows it in Search check agent, and record the article, collection or query involved plus the exact wording from the code block above. Verify: the symptom is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only reported second hand.
2. Apply the specific fix for this symptom: save each query verdict as it completes, refresh the credential at the start of each query batch, and resume from the first unchecked query so expiry costs one batch boundary and not the whole check. Verify: the smallest failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, checked in the published view rather than only in the editor.
3. Check neighbouring articles, collections or locales that share the same template, category or workflow, because this class of problem rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Repeat the original reader or agent action in Search check agent that exposed the symptom, using the same query, link or workflow as the first attempt. Verify: the action completes and the original symptom does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth for this item, the current product behaviour, price list, release notes or ticket evidence named in the fix. Verify: the published result matches the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the scope it covered and the verification result where the content team works, so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the symptom, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Search check agent troubleshooting for this symptom

The symptom first phrasing used when the full message is hidden. Surface the full symptom first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Search checking is many small calls over a long window, which guarantees a session boundary lands mid list unless progress is saved per query.

Edge cases

• The symptom appears in one locale, collection or audience view only. Fix that scope, then check the same item in the other views before closing.
• A cached or indexed copy keeps showing the old state after the fix. Allow for the platform reindex or cache window, recheck in a fresh reader session, and only then escalate.
• Two items have near identical titles. Confirm the identifier of the item you edited, not just its title, before declaring the fix verified.

Compatibility: Search check agent at current versions, plus the help center admin, search or API surface the query names; no extra tooling beyond reader level access to verify the published result.
