EZA1739I

subcommand failed - timer expired while
reading from named pipe
Explanation
 While the FTP client was sending data from the
named pipe to the FTP server, it tried to read from a named pipe in
the client z/OS® UNIX file system.    The client waited for the
number of seconds specified by the FIFOIOTIME configured value for
the read to complete.   One reason for this timeout is that the process
that is writing to the named pipe stopped writing data without closing
the named pipe.   
 Any data that was sent from the client to
the server before the timer expired has been permanently removed from
the named pipe. 
 See the following sources: The information about the FIFOIOTIME
(FTP client and server) statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration

Commands

Services named pipes in z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and

 In the message text:  subcommand
The subcommand that failed because FTP could not read from the
named pipe.   

System action
 FTP stops processing the current subcommand,
and prompts for the next  subcommand.

Operator response
 None.

System programmer response
 Perform the following steps:
 Consider increasing the FIFOIOTIME configured value.    	 Use the LOCSTat subcommand and specify the FIFOIOTIME parameter
to query  the current FIFOIOTIME value. 	
Use the LOCSIte subcommand and specify the FIFOIOTIME parameter
to increase the FIFOIOTIME value

If you anticipate long idle periods, consider increasing local
timers to prevent connection timeouts.   See the information about
the DATACTTIME (FTP client) statement,
the FTPKEEPALIVE  (FTP client and server) statement,
and the DATAKEEPALIVE  (FTP client and server)
statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for  more information about FTP client  timers.
Determine why the process that writes to the named pipe stopped
writing  data, but did not close the named pipe.    
Reissue the subcommand.  Any data that was sent from the client
to the server before the  timer expired has been removed from the
named pipe.  You must take this into  consideration before repeating
the file transfer.

User response
 Report the problem to the system programmer.
