Troubleshooting
Problem
SI executes a SFTP Get service using parm "RemoteFilePattern" and the filename contains a wild card to pull all available files, the files are not retrieved and the BP hangs in Waiting_On_IO. This problem occurs attempting to get a file and the filename contains a space. When this situation occurs the SI SFTP Client log for the SFTP Get service will post error 'INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.'
Symptom
The SFTP Client log during the SFTP Get post error 'INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.'
SFTP Get service attempt to retrieve a filename but the file is not retrieved, the BP hangs in Waiting_On_IO and must be manually terminated.
Cause
SFTP Get service to retrieve a file and the filename contains a space, for example a filename of positions.txt 2 (see space is just prior to the 2).
This has been identified as a product defect under APAR IC96126.
Diagnosing The Problem
As a workaround, recommend using an underscore in the filename instead of using a space.
Resolving The Problem
Apply APAR IC96126.
