Possible errors when transferring IBM i save files

If you use Managed File Transfer to transfer the same IBM® i save file several times, the transfer might fail.

Managed File Transfer might produce one or both of the following errors:


BFGII0003E: Unable to open file "/qsys.lib/library.lib/SAVF.FILE" 
for reading


BFGII0082E: A file open for read failed due to a Java IOException 
with message text "Sharing violation occurred"

These errors can occur if you issue several concurrent requests for an MFT agent to transfer the same IBM i save file. If you want to concurrently transfer the same save file several times, you must use several source agents. Use a different source agent for each concurrent transfer.

To transfer the same save file several times with a single source agent, you must wait until the previous transfer request is complete before submitting each new transfer request.
