FTP Causes Process Panic and Thread Error

[Tim Malaney]

We recently went to a new windows server which we have been ftp’ing files from for a long time. Thread that were using advanced scheduling, when the schedule started, would panic the process. When the process was restarted it would pull the file then be fine till the next schedule. Threads that were set to pull every 5 minutes would not panic the process but would “error”. When stopped and started would pull the file. It would error randomly after that. We set the ftp on the windows server to a 10 minute timeout from a 2 minute timeout and concurent users from 1000 to unlimited. This seems to have solved the problem for now – we hope. We have many more unix and windows scripts that had no issues with the new server. Anyone see similar issues – below is a portion of the log for when a thread errored.

Thanks
