2.5. Upgrading from releases earlier than 1.5.2

Starting with version 1.5.2 there is a new way in which transfers are scheduled for execution.

In the newer SFTPPlus version ‘waittime’ no longer represents the number of seconds between transfers. This option is now used to set the time between failed transfer retries.

The time between transfers is now specified by using ‘transferwindowdelay’.

For transfer not defining an explicit value for ‘transferwindowdelay’, the following values are uses:

  • ‘global.directoryscantime’ for PUT transfers
  • ‘global.remotedirectoryscantime’ for GET transfers.

The default values are specified in ‘global.conf’ file.

For more on how transfer scheduling works in the newer versions consult the transfer scheduling page.

2.5.1. Log events changes

In case you are using an external tool for monitoring the log file , please notice the following changes:

  • message ID 190 instead of 45 for signaling missing files on remote target for get transfers.
  • message ID 189 instead of 8 for signaling a transfer that was not selected for single put transfer mode.
  • message ID 187 instead of 75 for signaling that an error occured while trying to get the file size.
  • message ID 188 instead of 38 for signaling the end of a single put transfer.
