Solving Problems
File Transfer Process “Hung”
File Transfer Process “Hung”
If a file transfer process appears to be “hung” without having transferred
any data, first check the Messages list box in the Control File Transfer
dialog box (unless you are running 3270 emulation in the background).
Some host systems may write error messages to the 3270 display instead
of using TRANSnnn file transfer messages; the emulator displays these
messages in the list box and also writes them to the error log file.
Also check whether the list box includes the message Error—host
initiated transfer in screen mode. If so, this indicates an error
in the host 3270 configuration. Disable the session using the Control
Display Sessions dialog box (this is the only way to clear the condition),
and contact your System Administrator. Do not try to start any more file
transfers on this session until the host configuration has been corrected.
If this message does not appear, the problem may be that the host cannot
accept the structured field size you are using for the file transfer. For
information about specifying the structured field size and checking that
the host can accept this size, see “Customizing Display Sessions” or
contact your System Administrator if you need assistance.
