Re: new ifs file not found

We don't have replication, but we do have Carbonite Evault backup -but was
not active at the time.
The thread issue is interesting - the clle calls a QSH command to run the
sftp.
The log file is checked to determine it was successful (my count of time
was
after the log checked ..)

And Bradley just posted what I was thinking - the RPGLE needs error
handling
and retry - then I can remove the delay (I hate doing that).
Thanks for all the ideas.

I had a similar issue. Once, the problem was due to the replication
software
(Mimix) locking the file for replication...
Stopping the replication stopped the issue. a delay is also a possible
workaround...
Years ago, I also remember another similer issue due to some
multithreading... we had to make the jobs trhread save using some API...
I do not remember which one but could make some research

I'm responding to both Bradley and Jack's comments - Bradley - all those
things and more I checked before submitting the post.

Deleted the file and re-ran the process (twice) - same issue

Noticed there was only about 3 one-hundreths of a second between the sftp
finishing and the rpgle throwing the error so I added the 5 second delay -
and then it worked and processed that file and another 25 or so that had
backed up while checking this out. And why 5 seconds? - it's just an
arbitrary guess for extreme cases...

Jack - The batch cpu utilization was 2.77% (and 0% for interactive) during
the 15 minute snapshot we take, when the error occurred. Pretty normal for
the time of day. Nothing else was taking long time or heavy i/o. This is
not a heavily hit system - Power 8 v7r3 single cpu, under 10 interactive
users, and another 10 web users at the time. Disk usage in the 30% range,
32
gig memory
I don't know the job name of the OS program that handles file stuff in the
ifs, but nothing in the snapshot I could see different than other times.

Something has changed.

Make sure the file name doesn't have spaces in it. I've seen that
happen...
spaces at the end of the filename and when you trim() in your program they
technically don't match.

If it's in QOpenSys make sure it's the right case for the filename.

Debug the program, find the value of the filename. and use WRKLNK to double
check it is there. Check the authority to the directory and file.

If you're not using a fully qualified path and filename (ie, the filename
starts with a /), make sure the home directory for the user running the
application is correct.

Run multiple times and same result.

Auth is the same

No recent changes in sftp or called programs.

V7R3 and no recent ptf changes

Sftp job is submitted and using dtaq to notify caller (CLLE) when done.

Caller then calls RPGLE XXX14.

There are 5200 files in that directory, adding 10 to 30 each day.

Very little activity on the system.



Added a 5 second delay before calling XXX14 and now it works again.



What would cause OS to not recognize a new file in the IFS and need
such a delay?

One change to the system is change from weekly ipl to quarterly.
