For information about error codes and messages returned by the adapters, see
Appendix A - Return Codes and Error Messages
.
Various troubleshooting tools are available in case of problems using the FTP
adapter for data sources or targets for a map. For example, if you attempt to run
a map that uses the FTP adapter and encounter problems or do not receive the
expected results, use the following adapter troubleshooting tools:
♦
adapter audit log (
.log
)
♦
adapter trace file (
.mtr
)
Adapter Audit Log
The adapter audit log is a text file created during the adapter execution that
records information about the events that occurred during the adapter activity. To
produce an adapter audit log, use the adapter command
(
–AUDIT
). The default log
name is
m4ftp.log
and is located in the map directory. See the
Trace
(
-T
)
adapter command for more information.
The adapter audit log contains information including the:
♦
host identifier
♦
files sent or received
♦
size of each file
♦
elapsed time
♦
retry count for each file
