UBS ERROR 297-A BACK AGAIN

This is the same code that has occurred intermittently since my first post a couple of years ago. It is just annoying, and it seems it is more likely during times when the stock market is volatile. I have never been able to avoid or resolve the error, and I just assume it will go away at some point. In the meantime, no update for me.

    Hours later this issue persists. Am I the only one with this problem?

    I did send files and error report to Quicken. Fingers crossed.

    UBS Financial Services is reporting an error OL-297-A for me. Has been happening for the last couple of days. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

    It just worked after 3 days of errors, but I tried it again to confirm. Unfortunately, it did not work after at least updating a few of my UBS accounts.

    Update - it has worked several times since my update earlier this morning. I am happy this at least works for now, and I thank the Quicken team and the users who responded to this thread. Hoping it will last.

    Hi Pat, just magically resolved? The issue still persists on this end.

  • Pat Marshall
    Pat Marshall Quicken Windows Subscription Member ✭✭✭✭

    It doesn't mean it has resolved based on my prior experiences, but in the past as well as this time, I have found that first thing the next day is when it is successful. Then, it may not work again right away. I've no idea how to think about this, but for right now, it is ok and I did nothing myself. I am almost afraid to try again until market closes.

    The 297-A error has returned this morning.

    I think the best thing we can do for now is monitor this; I’m sure it is getting attention to rectify. I have bookmarked this one.

    3/15/2025 - FYI, Still receiving same error, and unable to Direct Connect around Noon today.

  • Pat Marshall

    Mine has worked all day today but not yesterday. I don't know enough about this error to make assumptions about the frequency and timing of the occurrence. It seems that there is no correlation between the error affecting all of us at the same time.

  • mmpunch

    Well, mine just successfully worked with Direct Connect to UBS, at around 9:30PM CT on 3/15/2025. Hoping it will connect next time as well.

    Just did it on 3/18/25 at 5:44AM Eastern and mine worked. Yesterday it was ok except once when did not connect. As I said, aI just don't have enough information or understand the issues.

    10:30 PM UBS error OL-297-A has recurred.

    The UBS connection worked properly yesterday morning around 10am. However, today there is an error OL-301-A, saying request has been rejected and that they are having technical difficulties. There were also issues this morning in accessing UBS via their Online Services Website. Their UBS APP seemed to be okay this morning. I suspect they are working some issues.

  • mmpunch

    I tried connecting to UBS again later in the day (3/22/2025), and the connection and download worked successfully. I always review the transactions after downloading, before accepting them into my registers.

    it is better, but still intermittent. For about same amount of time Quicken will not respond to my mouse or keyboard, but then it recovers after 15-30 seconds of not allowing me to interact with the program. I’ve no idea whether or not has any relationship at all to my UBS issue. Reinstalling and validating did nothing.

    I doubt that your mouse or keyboard have anything to do with the UBS situation. Suggest you make sure your computer has all the updates installed.
