FTP client is not writing SMF records

Question & Answer


Question

The FTP client is not writing SMF record types 118 or 119.

Answer

FTP client trace shows the following:

  • write_smf_record: return code from EZBPAINX is hex value 0

  • write_smf_record: calling EZBPAGLU to write the smf record

  • SMF record not written: return code from smf interface is 9

or

  • write_smf_record_119: return code from EZBPAINX is hex value 0

  • write_smf_record_119: calling EZBPAGLU to write the smf record

  • write_smf_record_119: SMF record not written: return code from smf interface is 9

A return code of 9 indicates that the TCPIP stack is not recording SMF records for the FTP client.

To permit the client to issue SMF type 118 or 119 records, in the TCPIP profile, code FTPCLIENT on the SMFCONFIG statement.
