Scheduled File Transfer Job Failures: Reasons and Remediation Measures from an MFT Perspective

Abstract

Scheduled pull jobs/file transfers are a critical and widely used automation element of Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems. These pull jobs may fail for a number of reasons, including wrong file path, missing the file availability window, misconfigured pull request, authentication issues, and network connectivity issues (temporary). These issues can be remediated by establishing proper communication channels between clients and hosts and updating the clients with necessary information like file paths, dependencies, etc.
