APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • FileInput stops polling remote directory over FTP/SFTP when it
    encounters BIP3380 java.net.SocketTimeoutException.
    The connection or timeout exception may be caused due to
    an intermittent network issue but after the network issue is
    resolved it is expected that the flow should resume polling
    remote directory again without having to restart the message
    flow.
    

Local fix

  • Restart message flow

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    FileInput stops polling remote directory over FTP/SFTP when it
    encounters java.net.SocketTimeoutException.
    The connection error or timeout exception may be caused due to
    intermittent network issue. When such transient network issues
    are resolved the message flow should resume polling the remote
    directory again without having to restart the message flow.
    
    There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
    Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.  For details

    tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
    

Problem conclusion

  • The product has been updated such that a message flow restart is
    not required to resume polling the remote directory over
    FTP/SFTP after transient network errors.
