Sender Channel SFTP - Exception received: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

Former Member — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 11:48:13 GMT

Hi, Experts

We have an issue in our SFTP to RFC scenario. The sender communication channel is showing an error when the option "Arquiving on SFTP Server" is selected (Exception received: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1). Below the print of configuration and the log error. We have checked the connection and it is ok, the user has full access to the directory and the file content was tested. We try to send an empty file as well but the same error occour.

Is there a module problem? Do someone have passed by the same problem?

P.S. If the option "Archive Files on SFTP Server" is unchecked the file is processed with success.

Error log:

Thanks,

Halsen

Hi Halsen,

Please check the "path" (location) that you have provided to archieve. It seems that either the path is incorrect or the user needs authorization to write a file there.

Hi Partha,

The "path" location on "Arquive Name" for arquiving files is correct. We have checked and the user has full access to the directory.

We try to use de same directory as Source and Arquive. If the Arquive flag is unchecked the file is processed succefully.

Below you can see the source path:

Hi Halsen,

Please check the file naming convention also. The file extension is missing in the file name. You cannot create a file without an extension. Change it and then try. It will work.

Is it an empty file that you are trying to process?

>>>We try to use de same directory as Source and Arquive. If the Arquive flag is unchecked the file is processed succefully.

May be that could be the issue. Try configuring some other directory as archive folder on the SFTP server.

Hi Partha,

We tryed changing the extension file name as .txt and it worked.

But why the file is processed even without the file extension when the arquive flag is unchecked?

Theoretically, it wans't to work as well...

Do you think there are other solution because we can't change the extension file.

Halsen

We verified that is not necessary a extension in the file but just a "." (dot) in any place of

the file name the channel process the file with success.

We are using the mask .*._cb_.*.
