I have seen "retry" problems in v3.0.something (I think it was 3.0.1 or 3.0.2) then it was fixed in a later version. Please consider upgrading to the most recent version 3.1.1. I guess new v3.1.2 will be available tomorrow. Check it out. In a mean time, there is a simple workaround for this particular case:
In the job script you use FTPFileExists to check for a file before downloading and then use Wait to wait for a little while if it is not. Example:
Dim found, boolean
FTPFileExists *myserver*, *user*, *pass*, *file*, found
IfThen found, GET_IT // wait 30 seconds
Wait 30
FTPFileExists *myserver*, *user*, *pass*, *file*, found
IfThen found, GET_IT // wait another 30 seconds
Wait 30
FTPFileExists *myserver*, *user*, *pass*, *file*, found
IfThen found, GET_IT // file not found, send email to ...
SendMail .... "Error ...."
Exit GET_IT:
FTPFileGet *myserver*, *user*, *pass*, *file*, *local_file* : We are trying to schedule a daily FTP download. The job works fine if the
: file exists, but we are trying to prepare for the scenario where it might
: not yet be posted to the remote server. Most importantly, we are looking
: to have the job retry for a specific amount of time, then fail if the file
: can not be located. : When attempting to FTPGet a non-existant file, the job returns the
: appropriate "file not found" error and schedules a retry
: (1-of-3). After the allotted 5 minute waiting period, it again fails (as
: it is supposed to on this test), and it once again schedules a retry
: (1-of-3). Obviously, the retry/fail counter never increases, so the job
: never stops retrying (unless it is able to find the file). : Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, what is the remedy? : Thanks!
