3732472 - iFlow accessing files from an SFTP location processes only one file per poll

Symptom

  • iFlow accessing multiple files from an SFTP directory processes only one file per poll.
  • Each iFlow execution processes only one file.



  • SSHD logs from the SFTP server appear as follows:

    <timestamp><host name> sshd[<ID>]: Accepted publickey for <username> from <IP address> port <port number> ssh2: <SSH public key fingerprint>
    <timestamp><host name> systemd[1]: Started Session <session ID> of user <username>.
    <timestamp><host name> systemd-logind[<ID>]: New session <session ID> of user <username>.
    <timestamp><host name> sshd[26858]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user <username> by (uid=0)
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: session opened for local user <username> from [<IP address>]
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: opendir "directory's absolute path"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: closedir "directory's absolute path"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: open "<directory's absolute path/name of file #1>" flags READ mode 0666
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: close "<directory's absolute path/name of file #1>" bytes read 16772 written 0
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: remove name "<directory's absolute path/name of file #1>"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: opendir "directory's absolute path"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: closedir "directory's absolute path"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: open "<directory's absolute path/name of file #2>" flags READ mode 0666
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: close "<directory's absolute path/name of file #2>" bytes read 16772 written 0
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: remove name "<directory's absolute path/name of file #2>"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: opendir "directory's absolute path"
    <timestamp><host name> sftp-server[<process ID>]: closedir "directory's absolute path"
    ...

  • The directory's absolute path is very long.
  • iFlow accessing directory with shorter name is able to process multiple files in one execution.
