  • 1.  File transfer - ENDED_EMPTY vs ENDED_NOT_OK?

    Posted Jun 03, 2014 01:27 PM

    Several of our workflows use a file transfer task to pick up any "old" files that might have been left behind by previous runs of a utility before we start a new run of that same utility.  Since usually there aren't such files, we configure the workflow so that subsequent task(s) have a dependency of ENDED_OK_OR_EMPTY.

    Occasionally (maybe once every couple months) we have seen this file transfer fail in an ENDED_NOT_OK, even though the report clearly says that no files exist:

    Automic support has asked us to provide a trace of this error, but I have no idea how to reproduce this, and we don't have the disk space to just leave a trace running indefinitely.

    Has anyone else seen this behavior....and perhaps figured out how to reproduce it?  (Or perhaps had a trace running when one of these incidents occurred?)

    Thanks!

    Hi Daryl,

    are there any corresponding error messages in both agent log files?

    I know that a JOBF (even with wildcard enabled) will end ENDED_NOT_OK if the directory path does not even exist or if it was unmounted
