Re: sFTP new failure mode

Just found another weird part.

Run the CLLE in batch, and a spool file of the sFTP session is created. Run same CLLE interactively, and no spool fil, or screen display. But, no transfer either.

I wonder if the activation group is involved.

This would appear to be a bug in the sftp client. I would report it to IBM.

This agency seems to generate new problems on a regular basis. Just when I thought I had sFTP of data to them automated, I get a new issue.

Yesterday and this morning, their sFTP site was not cooperating. The session returned status code 3 in both cases.

The CL controlling things was plain jane CLP. I changed the type to CLLE and recompiled - in order to utilize MONMSG on a missing parameter.

The job log created has a spool file from the sFTP session with this message in it:

Couldn't get handle: Failure

That message was listed after a PUT command. No other different message are listed. And, that message did not trigger a non-zero return code, thus the CLLE went about doing the tasks as if the PUT had been successful. Logging in with FileZilla confirmed that the PUT did indeed fail.

Any suggestions?
