• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The user observed that DataPower might fail to cancel
  processing if a FTP Poller Front side Handler (FSH) cannot
  rename
  the input file. The user saw this in a setup of two devices with
  active concurrent FTP Poller FSHs. In rare situations both
  pollers renamed the input file at the same time. Instead of one
  canceling the processing on realizing the file got already
  renamed by its "winning" peer, it proceeded into its processing
  rule as if all went well on renaming and getting hold of the
  input file.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Affected is use of DataPower FTP Poller Front side Handler.
  
  Using two or more FTP pollers to poll a same
  URL may result in stream error which may cause a same file be
  picked up more than once.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 7.0.0.13, 7.1.0.10, 7.2.0.6 and 7.5.0.2
