  • How to fix this error?

    As the last delta request was not correctly updated, renewed delta
    loading is not possible until after a correct update.
    If you wish to reload the data of the last request you must attempt a
    renewed request of these data packet (with a subsequent request of the
    data packet in the Scheduler).
    Using the <ls>QM-Action</> pushbutton in the monitor, you can set the
    last delta request to 'successful'. A renewed delta request is then
    possible.
    However, in this way some applications lose their old, already
    delivered data, meaning that it can no longer be loaded again.
