we had a similar problem that was quite random. usually failed at the
worst possible time. it was based of an ftp script. what i have done is
add a ping to the remote site of 2 pings for every ftp transfer. since i
have done this none of the ftp transfers have failed.

FTP question
Fellow Listers,
I have a job that runs early on Sunday morning and
frequently it cannot connect to one of our Wintel
servers and aborts, holding up my JMS sequence until I
make my system check later in the day. This doesn't
always happen and the network team hasn't been able to
find any reason why the job couldn't connect and the
connection is okay when I rerun it about 6 hours
later. Changing the start time is not a good option.
I've tried to develop a test of the connection at the
start of the job in a while do loop and have the job
pause 5 minutes and exit the loop when the FTP will
finally connect. Here's my test routine:
!
!setvar ftplasterr 1
!while ftplasterr <> 0 do
!ftp.arpa.sys
exitonerror
open qc6nt
user testuser somepass
!pause 300
!endwhile
!
and it works okay for the first iteration but hits the
endwhile after the pause and keeps on going instead of
looping. I think it might have something to do with
the FTPLASTERR variable but can't see it. Anyone done
anything like this or have a way to get this to work?
TIA
John Bawden
