DataStage FTP Stage

Post by butlerhd »

Hi All,
I am running a simple DataStage server job on DataStage Server 6.02. I am using the FTP Stage to read a text file (fixed width columns) and FTP the file to a remote server. The format of the file is the same on both servers.
The problem is that receiver of the file claims that one or more records from the original file are not present in the file they receive. Is it possible that the FTP process can drop entire records without causing any errors in the job? In addition, the records being dropped are in the middle of the file. The file that is picked up and procesed by the receiver is not corrupted in any visible way. Does DataStage send one record at a time and it can drop records along the way?
