Re: FTP V5R4 Upgrade - LSOUTPUT error

<Quote> So, digging around a little more, I found that on the test system the member name is the same as the physical where on the production system it was not [LSOUTP001]. So, I guess FTP was trying to add the new member because the old one was not named as expected.
</quote>

This happens when you restore a file and the file creation date on media is different than creation date on disk and ALOWOBJDIF was not *NONE. (the manual is not specific, but I would assume "date" includes "date & time". The *none value would not restore file and an error issued to job log. There are diff options for this parm - see the Backup and Recovery manual (page 229 for V5R4). It is common for some to just always change this parm to ALOWOBJDIF(*ALL) but if you are restoring to a lib that is not empty, and not checking the job log for these issues then bad things can happen.

Rob,
That's good that it is overwritten because we have maxmbrs set to 1.

So, digging around a little more, I found that on the test system the member name is the same as the physical where on the production system it was not [LSOUTP001]. So, I guess FTP was trying to add the new member because the old one was not named as expected.

Don't know how that member got there on production, but I ran the job on the test machine with the correct member name and it was fine.

I changed the pfm name to LSOUTPUT on production. Hopefully the 4:30 run will be Ok. I'll check the member name after the 4:30 run.

Thanks for helping me out.

Looks like the one member just got overridden

Any chance the one member was removed and the file changed to MAXMBRS(0)?
Verify there's not a template higher up in the library list. With *ALLOBJ
authority do a

Rob,
I sent another msg with the joblog msg about too many members.

We did not upgrade the existing machine to V5R4. We bought a new machine
which was presumably at V5R4. Not really sure about that point.

The people we outsourced to initially did a complete b/u restore on the
new machine for test purposed and then we were told to tell them which
libraries to restore when we went live.

I'd like to change the CL to remove the member, but I have this note from
a prior release on the server:
/* 01/31/2007 FDD New release Serv-U 6.3.1 returns error code 550 now
/* when no files exist
/* Be sure LSOUTPUT has at least one mbr - gets removed by FTP client
error 550 */

Sounds like a catch-22 to me.

If that script is ran on the i, does the job have an accompanying job log

Did you do your upgrade by the:
"1 - Let's get new hardware with V5R4 loaded and restore a few libraries
and whatnot" method, or
"2 - Let's upgrade our existing hardware to V5R4 and either upgrade our
existing hardware to newer or do a complete unload/reload on to a scratch
new system"
Option 1 may say that LSOUTPUT is secured differently or any number of
options. Actually I would think that you should be able to delete it and
let it recreate. I ran a like ftp script and it got created
automatically.

FTP V5R4 Upgrade - LSOUTPUT error
Sent by:
midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



We upgraded both hardware and the O/S [V5R2 to V5R4]over the weekend. I
ran a couple of programs yesterday that put files onto a network server
with no errors.

Our clerks run programs that get files from the server. They just noticed
that data was not being retrieved - we don't get data every day from each
entity. I checked the server, we have two files sitting out there.

I think our dept is the only one that retrieves data in this manner, but I

sent this out to the other programmers with no response, so far.

I didn't see anything about this in the memo to users for both V5R3 and
V5R4.

Does anyone use scripts to retrieve data from a server?

For example:
CD /WARRANTS
LCD TRSFTP
SENDPASV
LS *.TXT (DISK
MGET *.TXT (REPLACE
MDELETE *.TXT
QUIT

I have three with at least two failing...here is one log:

LS *.TXT (DISK
200 PORT Command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
Unable to open or create target file LSOUTPUT in library TRSFTP.
226 Transfer complete.
No response received from FTP server.
Enter an FTP subcommand.
MGET *.TXT (REPLACE
Unable to send data to server.
No response from remote host; all connections closed.
Enter an FTP subcommand.
MDELETE *.TXT
You must first open a connection.
Enter an FTP subcommand.
QUIT

The file is clearly in library TRSFTP:
Display Object Description - Basic
Library 2

of 2
Library . . . . . . . : TRSFTP Library ASP device . : *SYSBAS

Library ASP group . . : *SYSBAS


Type options, press Enter.
5=Display full attributes 8=Display service attributes

Opt Object Type Attribute Size Text
LSOUTPUT *FILE PF 36864 Output of LS
command

Programs that 'put' files to the server work fine, so far.
