RE: Strange FTP problem

I wasn't able to follow up yesterday before I left work for a dental appointment (I'm feeling much better today, thanks).

This morning I looked at and tested variations of overrides in the process (CL program) that we use daily for FTP between systems. I was, indeed, as you and Chuck pointed out, in error. Oh, there is an override to QSYSPRT, but it is for another part of the process, not the FTP log. When the FTP process is run interactively without any overrides wants to terminal session (screen), but when I run it in batch, it printed to QPRINT. Using an override to QPRINT, using either an OVRPRTF or OVRDBF command, seemed to have no effect; i.e., the FTP log still went to the terminal session. But, as you and Chuck both said, when the OVRDBF was for STDOUT, the FTP log did go to the file that I created. The steps in the CL that I used are:

DLTF FILE(QTEMP/FTPLOG)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF2105)
CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/FTPLOG) RCDLEN(80)
OVRDBF FILE(STDOUT) TOFILE(QTEMP/FTPLOG)

Sorry for the erroneous reply yesterday.

I would suspect then that there is a conflicting override to QPRINT.
Why don't you simply override STDOUT to a database file instead of a
print file?

I checked of of my other systems & it does use QPRINT.

On the machine that I am having a problem with I changed to

CRTPRTF FILE(QTEMP/FTPTEST) HOLD(*YES) SAVE(*YES)
OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) TOFILE(FTPTEST)

Still no luck. Jerry, do you have a working sample that uses QSYSPRT that I could see?


Thanks
Jim

I don't think it does either, Michael. I always use
QSYSPRT.

I didn't know that FTP generated QPRINT output.

This is what was working in the program:

SAVE(*YES)

OVRPRTF FILE(QPRINT) TOFILE(FTPTEST)

I would see the log in the spool file.

I have just added:

CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/FTPTST) RCDLEN(198)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT)

TOFILE(QTEMP/FTPTST) MBR(FTPTST)

CPYF FROMFILE(QTEMP/FTPTST)

TOFILE(*PRINT) +

FROMMBR(FTPTST)

OUTFMT(*CHAR)

I can now see the info in a spool file, so I know that

the log information

does exist, but it doesn't explain why the CRTPRTF

FILE(QTEMP/FTPTEST)

HOLD(*YES) SAVE(*YES) no longer works.

When not using FTP the following still works:

CRTPRTF FILE(QTEMP/FTPTEST) HOLD(*YES)

SAVE(*YES)

OVRPRTF FILE(QPRINT) TOFILE(FTPTEST)

That FTPA option being changed wouldn't

change logging,

but it does indicate
that something changed stuff.

Where is this log being generated? What's the

file

name?

option ALWSSL was set to *YES after the MQ

completed. I changed it

back to *NO and still no logs.

Was there anything else implemented at

the same

time of the

MQ install?
Application changes, PTF's, etc.?

Did the MQ install add an entry to a

library list

or the

user profile?
Certainly sounds odd, I wouldn't

expect MQ to

be the

issue but the install
process may have affected something.

Sounds like you have changed a

path/library

list

somewhere,

somehow.
Is the FTP a batch or interactive

process?

I have a strange problem that

occured after

installing

MQ

Client on one of
our AS/400's that is running

V5R4.

Prior to installing MQ I would see

the

output log

I.E.

OS/400 is the remote operating

system. The

TCP/IP

version

is "V5R4M0".
250 Now using naming format

"0".

Enter an FTP subcommand.

QUIT

221 QUIT subcommand received.
Press ENTER to end terminal

session.

Input read from specified override

file.

......
......
......


After I installed & tested MQ

I no

longer see the

above

information. I
wouldn't think MQ would effect

FTP but I

don't

know

where else to look. Any
ideas?


Thanks
Jim
