Description

5.6.2

BGTRK00071620

 When the Event or Output directories have an extra blank on the MO, the JText adapter would not recognize the directory. The problem has been rectified. The directories would be recognized now for leading and trailing spaces.

 

5.6.2

BGTRK00055201

 If event datahandler was not included during request processing, output file would not get written to the output  directory.  Output datahandler property alone suffices during request processing. This issue has been resolved.  Now  it is not necessary to include event datahandler while request processing.

 

5.6.2

BGTRK00055373

The parseNextToken functionality of ConnectorUtil would fail if the first character of the EndBODelim is present in the content of the event file.This problem has been fixed in CwDataHandler patch version 2.6.1.

 

5.6.2

BGTRK00071561

JText adapter would access an event file and throw a file-lock warning for its own lock. The same has been rectified and the adapter now throws a warning when the file is locked by external non-adapter processes.

 

5.6.2

BGTRK00072218

JText adapter would crash and restart when zero-byte files with no extension is encountered. The issue has been fixed. If the event extension is .in(for eg.), then the files with no extension will not be polled irrespective of their size. The zero byte files with .in extension will be polled and archived as .damage.

 

5.6.2

BGTRK00072220

JText adapter would poll successfully for a while, then make poll rounds, but not pickup event files. The issue was found both with mapped drives and the local drives. The adapter no more gets into such a loop. The issue has been fixed. JText connector would reach to the 100% CPU mode and freeze during       polling on HP-UX.The above fix has rectified this issue as well.

 

5.6.2

 

BGTRK00048648

 

 

While polling/request processing in the FTP mode if the is being fetched from a machine which is in Japanese locale, the timestamp of the file would get appended to the name of the file. This has now been resolved in commons-net-1.1.0.jar package.

5.6.2

 

BGTRK00070670

 

 

If the file permission of the event folder being polled by the adapter is read-only, the adapter would pick-up the file for event processing, but would fail to delete it subsequently. In this scenario, a warning message would not get logged. This has now been rectified.

5.6.2

 

BGTRK00071211

 

 

When the adapter is trying to poll an event file being accessed by another program, it would fail to archive the file and go into an infinite loop causing 100% utilization of CPU. Checking for third-party lock and generating a warning message have rectified the problem.

5.6.2

 

BGTRK00070672

 

 

Whenever the adapter tries to access an event file even as it is being written to the event directory by a third-party application, the adapter would throw a ‘FileNotFound’ exception. The problem has been resolved by check for lock on event files.
