Don't know if this will help anybody else out, but I had problems receiving a
PTF today using SMP/e orderserver, client and FTP data that had worked since I
started here.
Looking at the output, it seemed that the IBM site was no longer using my FTP
data dataset. It was looking for /etc/ftp.data, which doesn't exist, and then
went to TCPIP.FTP.DATA, which does exist, but is not set up for internet
delivery.
To resolve this, in my client data, I had to move the data between the
<FTPOPTIONS> </FTPOPTIONS> tags BETWEEN the <CLIENT> </CLIENT> tags.
Before change: -
<FTPOPTIONS>-v -f "//'DATA.SET.NAME'" </FTPOPTIONS>
<CLIENT
debug="YES"
javahome="/usr/lpp/java/J7.1"
classpath="/usr/lpp/smp/classes"
javadebugoptions="-Dcom.ibm.smp.debug=severe -showversion"
retry="3"
>
</CLIENT>
After change: -
<CLIENT
debug="YES"
javahome="/usr/lpp/java/J7.1"
classpath="/usr/lpp/smp/classes"
javadebugoptions="-Dcom.ibm.smp.debug=severe -showversion"
retry="3"
>
<FTPOPTIONS>-v -f "//'SMPE.CONFIG.FTP.DATA.OPTIONS'" </FTPOPTIONS>
</CLIENT>
This worked for me.
