APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • There is a difference in size in the file downloaded using
FTP from STERLING B2B INTEGRATOR Mailbox than
the file downloaded using the FTP client. This is due to null
characters that are added to the file.


Mailbox FTP adds null characters to file when a
zero byte file is present on the mailbox.
This happens only when there is a duplicate file in the
mailbox with zero bytes and if the following parameter is set to
false in mailbox.properties: disallowDuplicateMessages=false

Local fix

  • STRRTC - 489412
SB/SB

Circumvention: Remove the zero byte file.
