SAP FTP Binary Does not work after EHP 7 Upgrade

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Since EHP 7, if I try to execute an external command through sm49, which has a shell script for ftp connection and fetching files, the 'binary' command after ftp connection is not working.

Result? I'm fetching corrupted files once in a while. The same was fine before the upgrade. The script runs fine at OS level. We are using AIX.

Did anyone see this issue before? Is there a solution?

Please help, it's quite urgent.

Thank you.

Hi Uday,

1) What is the exact error message you get ?

2) Did you check permission to the script . Ensure sidadm has full access to execute it.

3) Did you check Test Connection to TCP/IP RFC destinations SAPFTP and SAPFTPA are working fine in SM59 ?

Thanks Deepak for your reply. This weird issue got resolved after a restart. Don't know what has changed, but we don't have the issue anymore.
