Re: [Ftpapi] FTP job get stuck
Tom,
FTPAPI is sitting and waiting for data on the network. It seems, for
some reason, that no data is coming, so it will sit and wait forever.
Usually, I see this when a firewall is blocking data. Sometimes, I see
it on an unreliable network, like cellphone data Or when a network is
"flaky" (i.e. has a bad piece of hardware , cable, etc somewhere in the
connection.) It could be almost anything.
To make your program a bit more robust, I would suggest coding a timeout
on ftp_conn or ftp_open (whichever you are using) so that when this
happens, your program will timeout and can detect the problem and notify
someone to try again. (Or even could be coded to automatically try again.)
If possible, I would troubleshoot the network, too, to find out why
FTPAPI is not getting the data it expects... but, that is beyond the
scope of what I can do for you in an e-mail :-)

We are using FTPAPI to transfer from a Windows FT server. After
recently moving to a new FTP server and upgrading IBM I to V7R3, we
are getting intermittent jobs that "hang" halfway through a transfer.
The hang-up is in FTPAPIR4, procedure BUFLINE on this line:
callp select(peSocket+1: %addr(wwSet): *NULL: *NULL: p_timeval)
Anyone seen this before?
