Hello everyone!

I have a problem with FileInput node. Sometimes the flow stops processing files. IBM IB 9.0.0.2 generates BIP3321 error in event logs.
It says that the file node failed to delete a file in mqsitransitin folder during normal processing.

The ''FileInput'' node encountered an exception that prevented it from running successfully. This message will be issued repeatedly until the problem is solved. No further messages will be processed by this node until the message flow is restarted.

Could you please help? What is going on? How to prevent this error?

It sounds a lot like something in the OS is preventing the broker from removing the file. Look for something changing permissions (such as an audit process "correcting" non-standard permissions), a virus scan, file mount software, something of that nature.

Is it possible to make broker continue processing the files?

How can any application do anything with a file if the OS doesn't let it?

IIB's just an application. It's not magic.

And if you could, what then? So it reads another file, which it can or can't remove from the transit directory when it's done. What's going to stop the transit directory filling up? How will broker distinguish from files in the transit directory that it needs to process, and those that have been processed but couldn't be deleted, and endlessly reprocessing them?

But I can delete the file under the same user that broker uses.

At the same time that broker is trying to do it? Under the same OS conditions?

IIB isn't just being lazy and can't be bothered to remove the file - it's trying to remove the file and claiming to get an OS error.

If you believe IIB is just being lazy and / or imagining the error, it's PMR time.

I agree with you. But what can I do? I can't monitor broker 24x7.

Most monitoring products can on your behalf.

And you could try asking the OS people if there's anything they think they should be telling you.

Or raise a PMR and tell IBM their product can't delete files properly.

If it was me, I'd solve the problem instead of trying to react to it.

Like any kind of job that would be holding file locks and runs at about the same time IIB was having the problem.

Make sure this fix is applied (you can obtain interim fixes for versions of IIB earlier than 9005).

By debugging it. Myself. Rather than asking random strangers...
