Why when I "update device database" do I now get
Updating devices: OK
Updating vendors: Fail

Tried the usual fixes - anyone encountered this?

You can update the device database from the command line. As user root, run these commands:
cd /opt/z-way-server
cp -pr ZDDX ZDDX-save
cd ZDDX
rm 9*xml
rm 8*xml
rm 7*xml
rm 6*xml
rm 5*xml
rm 4*xml
rm 3*xml
rm 2*xml
rm 1*xml
./UpdateXMLs.sh

If you are not happy with the updated device database, you can revert back to the previous device database by running these commands:
cd /opt/z-way-server
mv ZDDX ZDDX-new
mv ZDDX-save ZDDX

This is the result:
Creating index file for ZDDX

Done
Index created

That's a successful result, despite the error messages. There are thousands of device description files - several of them have problems that cause the indexing script to generate an error for those files. As best as I can tell, no one seems particularly interested in fixing those files.

Thanks all your help
