FTP Plug in fatal Error

Hi,

We are trying to FTP a file of about 3.7 GB from datastage to Mainframe host, through the FTP plug in stage and we are getting the following fatal errors.

FTP_Plug_in_39,0: Failure during execution of operator logic. [api/operator_rep.C:331]

FTP_Plug_in_39,0: Fatal Error: Fatal: function 'ftp_put' failed [dscapiop.C:1882]

node_node2: Player 1 terminated unexpectedly. [processmgr/player.C:138]

The FTP process ftps a file to mainframes about 100000 records and then the job abends with the above message.

Please help us in identifying the issue. is this an issue from ETL or the host?

thanks,
Vij

Hi,

Try to do a FTP from the unix command line and let us know what happens.

I tried FTP from command prompt, but received a "broken pipe" error message and only the same number of records are getting FTPed. Is this some kind of issue from the mainframe host?

please let me know.

thanks in advance.

The host or even the network. You'll need to involve your network and/or system support people to figure it out.

ok, thanks. what is the best way to FTP files to host?

Not sure there is a 'best' way. Command line ftp is a way, as well as scp. Many shops have 3rd party utilities they've purchase to transfer files. Ask your Admins there how you should be transferring your file.
