Error description

  • The FTP server in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator V5.2.5
    runs on an adapter container.
    
    Once a week, the server becomes slow to respond and eventually
    unresponsive to the new external connections.
    
    This issue occurred when a trading partner uses an FTP Client
    with resumption and  Multi-Part download enabled.
    
    
    
    The thread dumps (javacores) for the FTP server threads
    consistently show:
