Receive function failing when polling for files that were FTP'd
|
|

| We are receiving many files that are being sent directly to
directories on the BizTalk server via FTP. There seems to be a
disconnect sporadically when the receive function attempts to pick up
the file. We are seeing the receive function fail every so often.
Here is the error from the event log:
Details:
------------------------------
[0x1916] There was a serious failure in the receive function
'FinishMaster_File_Receive_Invoice_From_
Tandem_2'. This receive
service will be shut down, please check the event log for additional
error messages.
[0x80004005] Unspecified error
[0x172d] The receive function
'FinishMaster_File_Receive_Invoice_From_
Tandem_2' has experienced
problems, it will be shut down and disabled. Once these problems have
been corrected, re-enable this receive function in BizTalk Server
Administration.
[0x1704] There was a failure processing the
'FinishMaster_File_Receive_Invoice_From_
Tandem_2' receive function.
Check your receive function configuration in BizTalk Server
Administration.
We either see "Unspecified error" or "The server threw an exception".
The only thing that I can think of is that the Receive Function is
trying to pick up the file before the FTP process has been completed.
Would this action cause this behavior in the Receive Function. We do
not seem to lose any data. When the it gets re-enabled the file
processes without issue.
Any ideas would be appreciated on how to fix this.
Thanks,
Michael

| a) I assume that you are monitoring a file share on Windows 2000 or Windows
2003, correct?
b) I assume that you are using the FTP capabilities of IIS to receive the
files from your Tandem computer, correct?
c) I assume that Windows 2000 is running all current service packs, correct?
If all of these statements are correct, then this problem is truly a
mystery. To work around:
a) create a component that will query and re-enable the receive functions
once every half hour, or
b) instead of using FTP to the directory Biztalk is reading, use FTP to
another directory, and write a little component that will monitor that other
directory for files. Have that other component try to open the file being
written, and when that works, have it move the file to Biztalk's directory.
HTH,

| Hi Nick,
You by chance have a component we can use?

| Nope.
However, the following article provides an excellent example of writing code
using the WMI objects, from C# or VB.NET, to enumerate and modify the
receive functions.
