Difference between timeout(secs) and advanced parameter ftp.timeout

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have one question:

in sender communication channel, is the same to specify timeout(secs) in FTP connection parameters or to specify ftp.timeout parameter in advanced mode tab?

This is order to solve the problem of "ftp stops polling" solved with below SAP note 1083488.

Thanks

Fabio

Symptom

Sometimes, some of the XI FTP/JDBC sender channels stopped polling

permanently. However this is resolved by re-starting these channels.

Other terms

FTP sender channels, JDBC sender channels, polling stopped, stopped

polling, polling adapters.

Reason and Prerequisites

Program Error

Solution

For FTP adapter, please set the appropriate FTP timeout parameter in sender

channel configurations. Existing timeout implementation has a bug while

reading from Input. This patch solves this problem.

Hello!

If you don't have the patches mentioned on the note, you must use the advanced tab parameter. Otherwise, you can specify it in the FTP Connection parameters tab.
