Troubleshooting errors when transferring IBM i save files

If you use Managed File Transfer to transfer the same IBM® i save file several times, the transfer might fail.

About this task

If you issue several concurrent requests for an MFT agent to transfer the same IBM i save file, Managed File Transfer might generate one or both of the following errors:

BFGII0003E: Unable to open file "/qsys.lib/library.lib/SAVF.FILE" 
for reading

BFGII0082E: A file open for read failed due to a Java IOException 
with message text "Sharing violation occurred"

Procedure

To concurrently transfer the same save file several times, use several source agents. Use a different source agent for each concurrent transfer.
To transfer the same save file several times with a single source agent, wait until the previous transfer request is complete before submitting each new transfer request.
