Re: Incomplete sFTP transfers

Different file names. File names have date and a specific suffix. Content is copied from PF which is cleared prior to each daily run.

I am positive that file content is correct. The reconciliation process involves me running a program to send the content of a fourth file, a control file which has all account numbers sent. I received a huge list of account numbers today, and all but two were in two daily files. The last two accounts were half of a third file.

Is it the same 3 files sent daily? And do you have the actual files or are
the records replaced each day? In other words, can you 100% rule out the
building of the files before heading into the actual xmit process?
IFS files or native?

I had thought this was just a random event. But, it seems to be happening
more often. The batch process sends threee files daily to a remote site.
Usually, there is no issue. Twice a month, a file is sent showing what
should be on the other system. Today, that report showed that two records
out of 4 just disappeared. The records were number 2 and number 3 of a 4
record file. Ni indication of a failure of any kind. Since this last
happened, I have added -vvv to the sftp command, in the hopes of seeing
anything useful. Lots of verbage. Still, the command exist with return
code of 0.

My first thought is to perform a get of the transmitted files and then
compare the files to what was intended to be sent. Just seems odd that
records can be dropped and not trigger an error.

Anybody experienced this?
