APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If FileInput node is configured with FTP/SFTP transport and a
    high value like 3600 is set as Scan Delay, then this value get
    ignored and File Node tries to create FTP/SFTP connection in
    every second.
    

Local fix

  • Set a lower value like 1200
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All Users of IBM App Connect Enterprise V11 and V12 using the
    FileInput node with Remote Transfer option.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    If FileInput Node is configured with FTP/SFTP/FTPS  transport
    and a high value like 3600 is set as Scan Delay, then this value
    gets ignored and File Node tries to create FTP/SFTP/FTPS
    connection in every second. This large number of connection
    creation can result in high CPU usage by the Integration Server.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The product now correctly attempts the remote connection
    creation only at the interval specified as the scan delay value.
