Hi All,

Can anyone please let me know how WTX Map node should ignore the message which coming from WMB flow?

Basically, WTX Map sould run the source adapter command (GET) to read the files from FTP instead of using the message which is coming from WMB flow.

My message flow as below.

MQInput node ->Compute node-> WTX Map node -> Compute Node ->MQOutput node.

Thanks in advance for your help.

a. try defining a collection with no data elements.
b. Why would you not just set your input to a blob of data without max size and ignore it (i.e. dont use it in your map)

Thanks a lot Diren for your quick response.

1.Currently my Map is containing two input cards with FTP command to read file names from FTP server as below.
-URL FTP://GIB_USER:PWD@host:21/data/D2991/Clarity/BUDGET2SLAM*.xml;type=D
and my Map rule is =input_card2 and am not mapping/using input_card1 in Map rule to ignore the message which is coming from WMB flow.

2.In my WMB message flow, i have configured input_card1 to get the message from WMB i.e *Card number to wire ->1*(input tab of WTX node) so that WTX Map will run using the Command.

But, still sometimes i will get a message saying Source not avaiable in my Audit Log even though XML file is available(sometime it fails and sometime it will be successful).

Thank for your help in Adavnce!

Thats strange. What does the source card show in the audit log? can you upload a copy of your audit?

In the example below, IC2 is failing and this is the reason why you are seeing a Source not Available.

Yes, IC2 is failing with below message; but why it is failing even though all FTP connection parameters and file is availavle at source directory.
<Message>Timeout (300 seconds): closing control connection.</Message>

And IC2 will fail once in a while while looking for a files using below FTP command.
-URL FTP://GIB_USER:PWD@host:21/data/D2991/Clarity/BUDGET2SLAM*.xml;type=D

what could be the reason for the failure?

thanks in Advance for your quick response.

Hi,

The only issue is the FTP syntax. The syntax should be as below:

-URL FTP://GIB_USER:PWD@host:21//data/D2991/Clarity/BUDGET2SLAM*.xml;type=D

You need an extra slash to separate the login credentials and the host parameters from file location.

Thanks pcp.

Still am getting this error sometime after including the slash between credentials and host information.
Below is the FTP Command:
-URL FTP://UID:PWD@Dedusftp//data/D2991/Clarity/BUDGET2SLAM*.xml;type=D

But, My map has input cards and both are using the above same FTP commands. IC1 will recieve message from WMB message flow and ignores it(not used in any rule) and IC2 will get the file names by running the above FTP Command.

is this causing the problem?

any help is much appreciated!

Unless the extra slash is required in 8.2 or 8.3 or required by WMB our commands haven't required it to work in versions 6.0 thru 8.1. The most recent document states this is the format unless you have other requirements like a firewall... '//user:password@host:port/url_path'

Try using the '-trace' option and look at the trace file.
