Good Morning All,

We are using BizTalk Server to Send an XML file to FTP server. Since last 2-3 weeks we are facing issue while sending XML files to FTP. Some of the files are missing(Dropping) and not sent to FTP server.

We are doing below steps:

1. Generate XML files.

2. Send Generated files to FTP Server

3. Move Sent Files to Processes(our Backup Folder) Folder. But we observed the some of the files are not transmitted to FTP and also not transferred to processed folder also.

Is BizTalk only transferred file to process folder only when file is successfully transferred to FTP Server?

Is there any solution or acknowledgement setting by using this we can confirm the file is successfully transferred to FTP server or not.

Please Help on this issue as it is critical and impacting our system.

We are using 2010 BizTalk Server 2010

Thanks in Advance!!!!

Regards,

Are there any errors in the Event Log?

Exactly how are the two Send Ports related, if a all?

How do you know there are files to transfer?

Hi Dhaval,

With Biztalk you have option  for transport protocol to  provide Positive Acknowledgements (ACK) on success and Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) on failure.

For reference you can look into below blog post

Again I would suggest to investigate for your FTP logs for any error while you transmit the message through FTP adapter . Also look for event log for any specific error logged .

Thanks

I did not get any error in event log. and In FTP Log also i am not getting any transmission error message.
