I have a FTP job that runs against a FTP server running OS/400.
VisualCron is version 7.20

The job is simply trying to list and then download any .zip files found.

No matter what I do the error output says "Exception in Task: System.Exception: No file(s) found" even though the file is there and is even found when I do a "Test" on the Remote File Filter tab of the download task within the Job.

This is the output from the FTP server.

Any suggestions?

I have the exact same job running against a windows server without issue so it makes me thing this is OS related.

Is it possible to provide a test account for support?

---

I upgraded to 7.60 over the weekend and this fixed the issue. :)

After further review it is not fixed but is inconsistent.

It gets the files most of the time but inexplicably ignores a random file every once in a while and sometimes will not get more than one file in a cycle. Other times it will get multiple files.

I am attempting to verify if thee is anything consistent in the file names that are being ignored and will post an update.

It sounds like the file is in use or not available every time VisualCron executes the Task. How often is the Job scheduled to run?

---

It runs every hour.

I though that it may be in use as well so I monitored it all day yesterday and the really strange thing is that one a file is skipped it will be skipped every time.

I have a FTP script that basically does the same thing and has run on VC for a year or more and it never has this problem. I can run it immediately after the VC job in question here does not find the file(s), and it will get the file every time.

To clarify the non script job that i am having trouble with uses all the VC functions like list, download and copy where the script does it all in a .bat file using the execute function of VC.

Can you reproduce this with this specific file? If so we would like a screenshare. Turn on extended debugging in server settings->Log. This way you will see all files that are listed and download (how VisualCron sees it).

I will send screen shots and logs soon as I have another file that it is not picking up.

Thanks!

Ok So I was looking back through the log from earlier today and found this and confirmed this was a file that was being ignored.

Also I am on 7.61 version now.

I have another instance of this.
As you can see from the Filezilla screenshot there are 3 files waiting for pickup from yesterday.
The job has picked up other files after these have been ignored. I ran the job three times with debugging on after I verified these files to exist.

I am attaching the server log and the screen shot showing their existence. Let me know if you need anything else.
It also has the "Custom FTP parsing Failed" message.



Any thoughts on this?

Seems like we need to add some custom parsing for this FTP server. We will get back to you! Thanks for the feedback!

---

Can you please send the log file log_serverDATE.txt to support@visualcron.com where you have this custom parse error?

---

The server log file is already in the thread?

The server log file is already in the thread?

The problem, since it was not attached, is that duplicate blank spaces, tabs and other characters have been removed which are vital for the custom parsing.

---

From my end it looks like it is attached but I will do it again.
