Flows hang due to FTP element
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2017 4:38 pm
We're running Switch 13. Every once in a while we have flows hang and we've narrowed it down to an FTP element. Is there a known bug? Is this fixed in the latest version?
Scenario 1:
The login credentials were entered incorrectly. This causes the flow to take a very long time to deactivate once it's running.
Scenario 2:
For some unknown reason, an FTP flow element that has been working just fine, stops working. The latest situation was an FTP receive element. I could see files on the FTP server and they were not being downloaded. When I tried deactivating the flow, it still wasn't shut down after 30 minutes, and it was causing all the other flows in Switch to cease processing. I had to kill Switch and restart the server. When Switch came back up, that flow element started working and the files on the FTP server downloaded no problem.
