• “The process cannot access the file ‘{Drive Name}:\ica.log’ because it is being used by another process. – 1001″
  • This is generally a communication issue caused by multiple iCAs running at the same time and attempting to access the same log file
  • The issue may be resolved by running the task manager as administrator to make sure that only one iCA instance is running.
  • If no additional iCA running on the current computer, the same thing should be checked on all other computers in the office.

   

• “The credentials supplied to the package were not recognized – 1001”
  • The vast majority of the time this issue is due to a corrupted certificate. The most common source of a corrupted cert is due to an administrator forcibly changing a password on a user account which scrambles all encrypted data in the profile (certificates being some of that data).A less common source of this issue is due to Microsoft updates.

  -Remove the certificates issued by CSI CA or CanDentASSoc and re-install them

  -Close and re-open the iCA.

  -Attempt to send a transaction.

   

• “Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. – 1001”
  • This is usually occurs in very wide networks where security is handled via multiple network devices.
  • The issue may resolved by analyzing all network devices, one by one, to determine which is filtering the iCA traffic.

   

• “The parameter is incorrect. – 1001”
  • This is generally a communications issue caused by a 3rd party application that is filtering communications and preventing the ica from writting the output file ie Antivirus/Firewall/ “Internet Security” software
  • Running the iCA as admin may fix the issue
  • Office IT should add iCA to the security software whitelist
• The log reports a 1001 error and the following “Could Not locate template files — aborting”
• This indicates that one or both templates files(ack.tmp and msg.tmp) are missing. The issue can be resolved by re-installing the iCA or by copying the missing template file(s) from the archive into the iCA directory.

• This is generally a communications issue caused by a 3rd party application that is filtering communications and preventing the ica from sending a claim ie Antivirus/Firewall/ “Internet Security” software. An outbound tcp connection on port 9660 to site1.continovation.com and site2.continovation.com needs to be allowed.

–>The connection can be tested by running the following command using the cmd: telnet site1.continovation.com 9660 and telnet site2.continovation.com 9660

• Pre 3.0.0.0 Windows iCA
  • A 1011 “Invalid remote certificate” is due to using an outdated version of DartCertificate.dll. To address the issue replace and re-register the DartCertificate dll.
• Post 3.0.0.0 Windows iCA
  • The connection could not authenticate the remote certificate CSI ITRANS Site – the transaction has been aborted – 1011″ – The message may indicate an outdated ini file in some cases

• • “The connection could not authenticate the remote certificate BITRANSSiteSHA256 – the transaction has been aborted – 1011” is also due to not having the CDA’s CanDentAssocROOTCA SHA256 certificate in the trusted root store. The CDA root cert can be downloaded manually by following the instructions below:

-Click on the CDA ROOT CERT link from the ITRANS website (Support–>Downloads and Links)

-Click on “open” in the dialog box that appears.

-Click on “Install Certificate”.

-Click on “Next”.

-Click Browse, locate the certificate that you saved previously and click the next button again.

-Click the “Place all certificates in the following store” radio button and then click the browse button.

-Check “Show physical stores” on the popup form and select “Local Computer” under “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”. Click OK.

-Click next and then click finish to start the import.

• This means the iCA could not locate a valid digital certificate with the 9 digit provider id and 4 character office id that was in the transaction.
• Confirm that the practice management software has the correct provider information (provider ID and Office ID). You can consult your ITRANS Digital Certificate instruction sheet to confirm what is in your certificate. Should you believe that your certificate was generated with the wrong provider or office id please contact the ITRANS Support Desk@1-866-788-1212
• Confirm that the user account(s) that launched the iCA (iCA.exe, iCAService.exe or practice management software in the case of having integrated the API) is one that has the certificates installed.
• Confirm that the date on the workstation is correct.
• Confirm the certificate hasn’t expired.

• The log reports error: “Connection refused – 1021”
  • In some cases, this was proven to be an internal issue caused by a firewall or a 3rd party application inhibiting communications.
  • Office IT is required to make sure that the iCA is allowed to equally open an outbound tcp connection on port 9660 to site1.continovation.com and site2.continovation.com

• The log reports error: “Connection refused – 1021”
  • In some cases, this was proven to be an issue caused by a corrupted certificate.
  • You may refer to iCA Error 1001 for the corrupted certificate fix.

Error Messge: “Circuit reset – 1024”

• Error 1024 is generated by the iCA for a missing or incomplete provider profile in DB

• This is generally a communications issue caused by a 3rd party application that is filtering communications and preventing the ica from sending a claim ie Antivirus/Firewall/ “Internet Security” software.
• When you receive the iCA 1025 Error Code, you may also receive the Dart 10061 Error Code. The Dart 10061 Error Code means: Host Has Refused Connection. If you are seeing these 2 errors together and possibly 1042’s and 1045’s, all these symptoms together indicate a stability issue with the internet connection.

• Update to the latest version of the iCA if the windows version is in use
• If the java iCA is in use make sure you have the correct Carrier ID and that you are using the latest iCA.ini

The iCA.log reports “Send Transaction request had no data — aborting” and then eventually “An error was received: 1034”. This is due to the iCA receiving a blank or incorrectly formatted payload. Either the practice management software sent a payload with nothing in it or the location where the payload was dropped is full and as a result the payload file was created but nothing could be put in it.
