How to handle FTP failure ?

[arunneerolil]

Hi all,

I am doing IDOC - XI - FTP scenario.

I want to handle FTP failure situation.

Right Now the BPM(Send step) is waiting in case of FTP failure.

Status is "in process".

a. How long it will wait ?

b. How many times it will retry ?

c. Can we control wait and retry.

In our case FTP will fail frequently & will take several hours (6-8) to recover.

Can anyone help.

Thanks in Advance.

You can put your send step in a loop that increments an integer container variable annd exit when a certain value of your counter was reached. Use a wait step between one try and another.

Also, a deadline branch inside a block will controll the maximun amount of time.

Everything explained here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/dcef46dae42142911c8f14ca7a7c39/content.htm

Hi Guarneri,

In SXMB_MONI I can see that "Send Step" status is "In Process". That means it will retry after some times.

As mentioned earlier, i want to know more about controlling these automatic retiries.

(Not by putting SendStep in a loop)

Hi ,

To test an FTP failure situation , we gave wrong path of FTP site.

Still in SXMB_MONI

The send step is not failing .

It is showing that "Send Step" status is "In Process".

(Even after 12hrs)

Why Send Step is not failing ?

Can anyone help.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi chemmanz,

can you check the FILE ADAPTER in RWB under ADAPTER MONITORING. Does it show any error??
