  • 1.  File transfer from AS400 to Sterling B2Bi via Connect Direct

    Posted Thu May 02, 2019 07:32 PM
    Randomly we are getting 0 byte files via Connect Direct protocol from AS400 system to Sterling B2Bi 5.2.6.3 where AS400 is the PNODE and B2Bi is acting as SNODE during our testing phase. Can anyone help in troubleshooting what could be the reason behind so ? Following is the CDSND command -

    Current CDSND command for EDI b2bi (doesnt work properly):

     CDSND SNODE(u060b2bib801) SNODENVIRN(UNIX) +       

                FDSN(&FDSN) +                              

                TDSN('/MFG_CD_PRISM/test.cdprism.txt') FMSYSOPTS('TYPE(MBR)') +                

                TOSYSOPTS(':DATATYPE=TEXT:STRIP.BLANKS=NO:') PNAME(&PNAME) PNODEID(CDUSER CDUSER) +   

                SNODEID(prism t3st1ng) COMPRESS(*YES) TDISP(RPL)                                 

     

    Current CDSND command that works for the WIN UNIX box:

     

    CDSND      SNODE(&TOSYS) SNODENVIRN(UNIX) FDSN(&FRMDSN) +

                 TDSN(&TDSN) FMSYSOPTS('TYPE(mbr)') +        

                 TOSYSOPTS(':DATATYPE=TEXT:STRIP.BLANKS=NO:') PNAME(ASNSEND) FDISP(OLD KEEP) +          

                 COMPRESS(*EXT) TDISP(NEW CATLG DELETE)

    The B2Bi Connect Direct Server Adapter (CDSA) adapter is not a standard CD node, but it is 95% match to a UNIX CD node. The other part of the CDSA interface is via mailbox slot verses a file system directory. So minimally you will need to change the destination file name to have a prefix of "/mailbox". There might also be some adjustments to other parameters required. For example:

    TDSN('/mailbox/MFG_CD_PRISM/test.cdprism.txt') FMSYSOPTS('TYPE(MBR)')

    Would need to see the error message(s) to know if other parameters require adjustments.
