5 File Server Issues

Review File Server issues in Oracle Integration.

Copying issue encountered using WinSCP

An issue was encountered when copying files to when using the WinSCP client, where a zero byte file with the same file name was created.

The workaround is to use another SFTP client or delete zero byte file.

File names limited to 924 characters

If a file name in File Server exceeds 924 characters, a file system error gets logged in File Server.

Data removed from files during simultaneous updates

When one or more integrations attempt to update the same file by appending data to it, all data in the file is sometimes removed.

The issue occurs when the integrations attempt to update the file in parallel, leading to multiple integrations changing the file simultaneously. The data removal from the file then can cause one or more integrations to fail because the integrations expect the file to contain data.

The workaround is to update your integrations so that they do not update the same file by appending data to it in parallel. As a best practice, Oracle recommends avoiding simultaneous operations on the same file.
