FTP receiver adapter error

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a very simple pass through scenario in our PI7.0

PI picks the file from application server and sends to the target FTP.

Messages are failing in adapter engine with error

MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx

Till last week there was no issue and the interface was workign fine.

Action taken:

Comments from target FTP admin

                                         - NO change in username/password.

                                         - restart of FTP did not work

                                        - There are other users who connect to same FTP and they are not facing any issue.

                                        - Connections are already set to unlimited

                                        - last login is seen coming to ftp from our ip was back on 01/29 and no attempts or failures in FTP logs

Comments from application/unix/basis team - Connection to FTP is failing saying login failed from os level.

Checked the other blogs for solution, but still not rsolved.

It is happenign in production system. Please help.

Thanks,

Pavi

did you tried connecting to FTP server using any client viz filezila. First verify it and see if the user has sufficient access at the folder.

Lastly recreate a new channel and see if it works.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried to ping channel?

Go to cmd and ping the FTP ip address or try to login on FTP server with that username & password assigned in channel.

Try it & let us know.

BR,

Dipen.

We had some bad times with FTP back on PI 7.0. Please check if there's a backlog going to RWB --> Adapter Engine --> Engine Status --> Other data (last tab) and search for "File http...", If there are entries in the queue, probably your FTP adapter is stuck.

Try restart FTP adapter then. If that does not help, try restart J2EE server, if applicable.

Report back results

Cheers

There is no entries in the queue.

Can we go for FTP adapter restart even now?

Depends on whether you have other scenarios that use the FTP adapter that still happen to work. If so restart will probably not help anyway.
