I looked into the sources and found out, that we keep the date of the
last
transaction from the previous import as that date. I remember that
for HBCI we
even subtract a few days from that to be on the safe side as banks
might add
data later on (we've seen this happen here via HBCI). Would that
explain the
behavior you experience?
If you mean adding a few days, no, that is not the problem. If I
update twice in a row, the second time should then have a date no more
than a few days ago, not near the beginning of December, about 60 days
ago, which is what I'm seeing now. I suspect something has changed,
since I don't recall this problem in the past. Where is that date of
last import stored in the KMM file? I don't recall seeing it. I'll
have to look again - but I do recall seeing some date in the
ONLINEBANKING section in a format different from 20150203, where I
would have expected all dates to be there in the same format.
Just to explain why this is so obvious to me right now - you can recall
that I've had lots of issues with OFX imports from Merrill Lynch. In
some cases, it is simply easier for me to create a new transaction and
then delete the downloaded one, instead of trying to modify the
downloaded one. When I do this, it will download them again. For this
reason, I delay deleting the originals until another day with another
download, just so it wont try to download them again. My download is
now starting 60 days ago, instead of a few days ago, and still 60 days
ago for a second (or more) downloads in a row today.
