To return to the original problem: <snip> We have an application that does some client server stuff then attempts to ftp some files back to z/OS. Mostly this works fine except it seems when 2 or more ftps are attempted at the same time with the same userid. Then we get "failed to connect" to the z/OS ftp server. Is there an ftp parameter that would stop multiple ftps from the same user taking place. <snip>
I had the following FTP problem whose resolution may be of some value in your case: We were, overnight, FTPing a large number of files from the mainframe to Windoze servers. It seemed that some of the jobs were interfering with each other (problems on the Windoze side of course) ... I realized that: (1) The problems were transient. (2) The data to be transmitted was accumulated through a number of steps. This data was still 'available' after the FTP failure. So I checked, in JCL, for a good return code from the FTP step. If the return code was bad I: (1) Passed control to a 'wait' job that would wait x number of minutes. (2) Retried the FTP ... This solution worked very well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
