  CopyTO service fails because the document already exists.

  Direct CopyTo service.
  2. The file is partially uploaded and a network failure occurs.
  3. Sterling B2B Integrator tries to resend but it fails

  failed RC-80)

  Connect:Direct.

  EJ /EJ
  Circumvention:
  Change document storage to file system instead of repository.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  All Sterling B2B Integrator users who also use Connect:Direct
  
  Problem Description:
  The Sterling Connect:Direct CopyTo service fails to copy a file
  to a remote CD node
  (with DISP=NEW) during a restart after the session was lost.
  The remote CD node prevents the second attempt because the file
  now exists.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolution Summary:
  The "restart" flag is now correctly specified to
  remote CD node to signal that DISP=NEW parameter should be
  ignored during the restart so the (incomplete) file can be
  successfully (re)written.
