Description

5.4.1

BGTRK00030237

Customer had problems related to the settings of the FTP server which uses a Swedish locale sv_SE rather than en_US.

The timestamp being HH.MM instead of HH:MM was causing a problem when polling, and has been fixed.

5.4.2

BGTRK00031418

For multiple meta-objects, JText connector was not polling event files based on first-come-first-serve basis (based on timestamp).

This problem is fixed by sorting the event files across all meta-objects based on their last-modified time. The fix is applicable for both local polling as well as FTP polling (except MVS). To enable this option, the user needs to add a connector application-specific property called SortFilesOnTimestamp and set it to true. The option is disabled by setting the property to false.

5.4.3

BGTRK00030838

The JText Adapter was not passing the File name to the DataHandler.

This problem has been fixed by setting the "InFileName" attribute using the setOption method of the Data Handler.

5.4.4

BGTRK00032690

When an ftp URL is specified for OutFileName property of the dynamic child metaobject, while doing request processing, the connector fails to put the file on the ftp site.

This problem has been fixed by parsing the OutFileName property appropriately to separate out the directory path and the file name during processing.

5.4.5

BGTRK00031747, BGTRK00033411 / JR19860

1. CR 31747 : When FTPKeepConnectionOpen property is set to true and the FTP server would timeout, the first service call would be consumed for re-establishing the connection to the remote FTP server, and the processing of the first request would miss out.

This has now been corrected. The connection to the FTP Server gets re-established in a timeout scenario, without the missing service calls.

2. CR 33411 : When two files with the same file mask exist, and one of them is still being modified, the connector would pick up the files that are not locked, process them, but not archive or delete them. It would keep polling the same files over and over again in a loop, until all the files with the same mask are retrieved for processing.

This problem has been rectified. The agent would now only pick up files that are not being modified, and delete/archive them the normal way. The file being modified would be picked up later, after the write lock on it is released and it has been made available to the agent.

5.4.6

BGTRK00034613

JText 5.4.2 fails to poll remote FTP server when SortFilesOnTimestamp=true

For getting the timestamp of remote files, the JText adapter internally uses the mdtm (modification date and time) FTP command. The FTP server used by the client was returning the date and time in a different format. The problem is fixed by handling the date-time format returned by that FTP server.

5.4.7

BGTRK00035216

Problem with the Dynamic MO object for JText connector

When FTP URL/ filename is specified for "OutFileName" property of the dynamic child meta object and the "FileWriteMode" is specified as "a", while doing request processing, the connector fails by throwing an exception . This has been fixed by appropriately handling the parsing of the remote directory.
