What happens if receiver FTP server is down or replaced.?

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

In a scenario like IDOC to FILE or any other to FILE , for any reasons FTP server was down or replaced. Then what happens to the messages ( with quality of service EO r EOIO). What is the status of messages.

If the FTP server has been changed then those details has to be entered in SLD.?

Thanks,

For EO cases, the message will be in Waiting state in Adapter engine (monitoring through RWB) until it retries to post data to FTP. After all retries, it goes to System Error. EOIO messages will move to Holding status.

If the FTP server has been changed then those details has to be entered in SLD.?

No, you have to change the communication channel details only.

to add to this, if you are using EOIO you will have to restart the first message in the queue before others so that the processing can continue.

In short, either EO or EOIO, the messages will be persisted in PI. you can always manually resend them.
