FTP Enterprise Stage Hung

Post by senthilt1 »

Hi All,

Recently we migrated from 8.7version to 11.5version of datastage. in 11.5 we could see FTP job getting into hung state, job has only sequential file stage and then FTP enterprise stage with Ascii / FTP transfer mode. Target server is IBMi.

This FTP job is a common job and is used by many instances, only few instances hanging randomly. Even when only one instance running, this hung issue occur. We do have other FTP job also but there are no failures on it. the only difference between the 2 FTP job is record length. Hanging job has 2700 bytes as record length, its fixed width file and is constant. Other FTP job are only 700 bytes as record length. All this jobs are running in 4 node config file. Though the FTP job hangs, it did transfer the data in to IBMi database , looks like its awaiting for response back or something? We are not able to reproduce the issue as it happens randomly with diff job.

When we stop the job and restart its getting completed successfully.

Would be really helpful if someone throw some light upon this.

Thank You!

I think that your Debugging steps on the DataStage side are limited, but there are a number of FTP logs on the AS/400 which the Operators can sift through to see if they can find the cause of the sporadic Problem.
