What to do if text transfers to or from Connect:Direct nodes are not converting the data correctly
When you transfer files in text mode between an MFT agent and a Connect:Direct node, code page and end-of-line character conversion is performed. The transfer uses the operating system information in the network map of the Connect:Direct bridge node to determine the end-of-line characters of a remote node. If the information in the network map is incorrect, the end-of-line character conversion might be performed incorrectly.
Ensure that the network map of the Connect:Direct bridge node and any Connect:Direct nodes that are used as a transfer destination include the correct platform description.- If your Connect:Direct bridge node is on a Windows system, ensure that for each remote node in your network
map you select the correct value from the Operating System list.
- If the remote node is on a Windows system, select Windows.
- If the remote node is on a UNIX or Linux system, select UNIX.
If the remote node is on a z/OS
system, select OS/390.
Transfers to remote nodes on other operating systems are not supported by the Connect:Direct bridge.
- Ensure that for each remote node you transfer a file to or from, you specify the operating system type of the remote Connect:Direct node in the ConnectDirectNodeProperties.xml file in the Connect:Direct bridge agent configuration directory. For more information, see Configure the ConnectDirectNodeProperties.xml file to include information about the remote Connect:Direct nodes and Connect:Direct node properties file format.
