Re: BTS 2004 File Truncation Problem

One possibility is the file is being retrieved from the mainframe before it
is completely written.
Does the mainframe provide file locking to prevent access to the file while
it is being wriiten.

A simple work around is to write to a temp file and then rename this file to
match the FTP receive location file mask.

I am experiencing a problem with respect to the occasional truncation
of a larger (approximately 160 mb) passthru XML file?



Process Flow:

1) I FTP a 160 mb file (XML document) from the mainframe to the
FTP server.
2) The file is then treated as a passthru from an FTP receive
port location.
3) The file is then "intercepted" by a send port group and
"routed" to 2 destinations each of which is defined by a send port
within the send port group. These send ports are also passthru.
4) The file is then treated as a passthru from a File receive
port location.
5) An orchestration then acts on the message and the message is
sent to a dynamic send port using the passthru transmit.
6) The orchestration then creates and email message and sends
this message to a dynamic send port using the default pipelines XML
transmit.


Problem:
1) Sometimes a truncated file ends up in the 2 destinations
described in step 3 of the Process Flow.
2) We have even seen the one large source file end up as 2
truncated files in the 2 destinations described in step 3 of the
Process Flow.
3) We are currently using Active Mode FTP and Max File Size of
200 in the FTP Transport Properties of the Receive Location described
in step 2 of the Process Flow.



I would be most appreciative of any advice/insight you might have with
respect to this problem.



Thanks.
