Error using AC/*A method
 

I keep getting errors:

Error 12029, when using AC method to search *A award space. I am not getting errors when using SkyTeam and OneWorld award search.

Any idea why? The AC user name provided is current.

Thank you.

Still getting error.

It says:

‘Error Requesting Data [I-1]:

Error 12029: Cannont connect
The attempt to connect to the server failed.

Error 9002: No Data Received

SkyTeam and OneWorld searches are ok.

Please contact us directly, including the details of the specific troubleshooting step(s) you have followed.

I found what the error is - my company network blocked the traffic.

Now I have another issue - the BA search method stating an error about CAPTCHA method. I did login to my BA account, and it did have another CAPTCHA verification. I restarted KVStool and still getting the same error. Any idea why?

The war between websites trying to block people breaking the terms and conditions (specifically the "no robots" one) and the people who break those terms.

You're using a method of accessing the Ba site that BA do not approve. You're doing it surreptitiously by using a scraping tool that pretends to be something it's not.

Interesting that your company blocked access to air Canada. I wonder if AC complained about the traffic coming from your network. That would be a new twist - use KVS, break terms and conditions, put your miles at risk, and now risk your job in the process!

A tad dramatic?

Most firms will have policies forbidding the use of KVS on company assets. Now they not enforce these policies all the time, but it's a handy tool of they want to dismiss you for some other reason.

^^^^^

I dare to rephrase you to "Most firms will have policies forbidding the use of unauthorised software on company assets." To single out KVS is totally unfair and I would suggest that most firms (contrary to your suggestion) are not even aware of its existence...

Please try solving the CAPTCHA by keeping the KVS Tool open and logging-in using Internet Explorer.

If the issue persists, please use one of the alternative OneWorld Award Methods in the KVS Tool.

Trying to search StarAlliance-AC and getting 'DataSource Error: [I-3]: "Login"'

The [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Engine was down earlier on today.

Please try again now and contact us directly if the issue persists.

I have a different issue with AC-StarAlliance search. I try searching by calendar and anytime between 1-3 days in I get:

Datasource Error [RW]:

Engine Error [EP].


Sounds familiar? Any resolution? it stops my search every time and makes calendar search rather useless...
