Issue/Introduction
The FTLOG has stopped working. No recent messages appear in any screens showing File Transfer History, whether /FTHIST or M.FT screen when selecting Connect Direct resource with FTL. & i give FTL.
Connect Direct shows file transfers running. IBM FTP transfers are also active but none of this is reflected in the File Transfer Log.
Environment
Netmaster File Transfer Management
Cause
The proc that writes the file transfer events to the log is likely hung. To verify this, In the Netmaster region, go to CMD and Issue SH NCL=ALL. Look for the proc $RFLOGPR; this is the proc that writes data to the FTLOG. If it is stuck trying to add a record it will show
N11935 NCLID BASEPROC CURRENT LEV W TYPE INIT OWNER PG PRI P-UNITS N11936 000126 $RFLOGPR $RFLOGPR 001 1 START SYSBBSYS SYSBBLOG 1 0 1956.03 N11918 ...... PROCESSING 493 FILE ADD ID=&#RF$FI , MSGS LOST
Resolution
To correct the problem: 1. From the CMD screen, issue SUB BSYS $RFLOGPR This which will effectively flush the prior proc, and restart the process.
2. Wait a moment and then issue SH NCL=ALL PROC=$RFLOGPR
This should show the proc now running correctly
N11935 NCLID BASEPROC CURRENT LEV W TYPE INIT OWNER PG PRI P-UNITS N11936 022189 $RFLOGPR $RFLOGPR 001 1 START BEEST03 C811BSYS 4 1 0.04 N11918 ...... PROCESSING 319 INTREAD SET N11946 ...... CPUTIME: 0.001389 N11907 END
The P-UNITS should show a value of 0.04 or greater. The PROCESSING should show INTREAD.
3. Take a look at the FTLOG and new data should now be coming in.
Unfortunately there is no way to recover the records that are missing, but it will now log all events going forward.
