Environment

Release : 12.0

Resolution

  • User may not have permissions to access ALL of the directories in the UNC path. Verify permissions by logging on as the job owner and change directory into each level.
    The user MUST be able to traverse through each directory. If at any point, an access denied message appears, you'll need to resolve this to allow the user to access.
    For example, using the UNC path specified as scp_local_name in the job definition, the user must be able to access ALL levels as shown below:
    • \\sapftp0001\Data
    • \\sapftp0001\Data\FileXfer
    • \\sapftp0001\Data\FileXfer\download
    • \\sapftp0001\Data\FileXfer\download\SND

Additional Information

If the resolution indicated above does not resolve your issue, follow process below to capture additional details for Support Review

  • Add ftp.scp.debug.enable=true to the agentparm.txt file
  • Restart agent for change to take effect.
  • Run your SCP job to reproduce the error.
  • Compress the entire agent log directory as well as the agentparm.txt file.
  • Open a case with Support and attach the logs and agentparm.txt file for review.
