Checking a file transfer operation

In some cases, transfer problems might be specific to a particular file or to files in a particular folder: these files are not being transferred, but other files are. In other cases, all communication between replication queue managers might have failed.

1. Check whether bytes are being processed.
   To do so, check for a file, growing in size, in the .nzptstmp directory in the RQM root directory of the receiving replication log server host. (To view this directory, use the ls -a command.) A file that is growing in size indicates that a transfer is in progress. The files in the .nzptstmp directory are the temporary images of the transferred files that are being built as they are received from the sending replication queue manager. The growing file size is seen only in the case of large files, because small files are transferred and quickly moved out. Only one large file is sent at a time.
2. See whether a number of large files are being transferred, which might make the system appear to be slower.
   Files are transferred in order of last modified time. If you manually move a new (large) file into a RQM source directory while other large files are being transferred, it might appear as though the new file is not being transferred. This is because all the existing files must be transferred first.
3. If you do not see the file that you expect to be transferred, verify that you are looking for the file in the correct directory on the primary and that you are checking the same location on the replica.
