I am using webMethods V6.1 developer and TN console. The application is deployed on Solaris OS (E10K server). My desktop client is Win2k and webMethods tools are installed there.
I am facing the following problem: The requirement is that I pick up daily Purchase Order data and send them to a VSAM system. This needs to be done every week at 5pm.
I have got a webMethods scheduler which invokes a WebMethod service. The Webmethod Service fetches all the data from the database and formats the data. Then it invokes a FTP file using WM service “pub:client:ftp:login”. I specify all the parameters like FTP file server, port#, user name, password, data transferred mode etc. After that I invoke WM service “pub:client:ftp:append” to pass the formatted string in the FTP file. Now when the “pub:client:ftp:append” is called, it gets some Service Exception and the FTP job doesn’t run.
When I perform the job manually, the same issue occurs. However, when I re-run the job, it works fine.
Can you please help on this. I am sending the error as an attachment
Try using pub.client:ftp and specify all the parameters in this service eg:serverhost,serverport,user,password,formatted string should be mapped to Content etc…
Since the service is throwing an exception, it might be helpful to place the call within a try/catch block and retrieve the last error. That may provide an indication of what’s going on.
It’s probably a good idea to use a try/catch block in any case to make sure your FTP session is closed even when an error such as this occurs.
Hi,
We are also getting the same error while we try appending to a file on remote server. We have a scheduled service that loops over the queued tasks and apppends the content of each task to single file on partner server. The append is done using pub.client.ftp:append service. But we have observed that sometimes when the pub.client.ftp:append runs it generates an error and ftp session is killed , so the tasks get stuck in a status delivering and then only way to reprocess these tasks manually.
I did add a few debug log statements in the code to pinpoint where exaclty we get the error and have seen that the error while executing pub.client.ftp:append service.

Sumit,
Once you figure out the issue that Mark has mentioned and still the error persists… you may want to try using ftp quote commands to specify the mainframe vsam dataset parameters like the management class, record length, record format, space etc…
give it a whirl and see …

From the above logs its clear that the log on to the server is successful but while executing the service pub.client.ftp:append ftp service some error occurs as a result of which session gets terminated and we get the error mentioned above.What we dont know is why the session is being terminated?
Increse of ftp timeout does not help.
The assumption here is that the logs accurately reflect activity. Can you post the snippet of your service that is doing this work? I’m wondering if the service is checking for log in errors or not.
Please find screen shot of the code as attached below.After log in to ftp server the return code is checked if it’s >=300 then the service performs an exit from try block and the error is catched in catch block.
Mark thanks for your suggestion we have asked for ftp logs from the partner.
Yogesh: Checking for returncode >= 300 should do the trick, as you have in your service. But you might consider checking if sessionkey is $null instead. If sessionkey != null, then you have an FTP session. If it is $null, then the login in failed (regardless of what the returncode might indicate).
If you review VAN.VANConnectivity:putToVAN in the WmEDIforTN package you’ll see that wM-provided services don’t rely on FTP return codes.
A couple of other observations:
Your service isn’t using a try/catch block. That means on error, your FTP session may be left open. The default behavior of IS is to reuse FTP connections, which can cause problems in subsequent calls.
After your getQueuedTask call, if the task is $null you’re exiting. You need to close the FTP session.
Got Ftp logs from the partner.

Now it seems that even though a valid session exists on the server we get a message not logged in!!!
no chance that you dropped or are losing the session key in any step? If that session key is lost, your FTP command whont know where to perform the action as though it is not logged in.
