Error description

  • IBM Sterling B2B Integrator: V5020601
Database: Oracle 11g
OS: Linux

When you upload the files using FTP to IBM Sterling B2B
Integrator using the FTP server adapter, if the client uses a
put command using a relative path containing a dot (current
directory), the PUT fails and SI throws an error 553.
553 '/.myfilename.txt': cannot be written.

The dot in the relative path indicating the current directory
is taken by the adapter as another directory and therefore the
path cannot be found.

For example if the client performs a "PUT ./testfile.txt or PUT
./subdirectory/testfile.txt
IBM Sterling B2B Integrator rejects with the error:
msg=[553 '/./testfile.txt': cannot be written
or
msg=[553 '/./subdirectory/testfile.txt': cannot be written

Local fix

  • STRRTC - 556201

Circumvention:

command.
