Various troubleshooting tools are available in case of problems using the FTP adapter for data sources or targets for a map. For example, if you attempt to run a map that uses the FTP adapter and encounter problems or do not receive the expected results, use the following adapter troubleshooting tools:

♦adapter audit log (.log)

♦adapter trace file (.mtr)

Adapter Audit Log

The adapter audit log is a text file created during the adapter execution that records information about the events that occurred during the adapter activity. To produce an adapter audit log, use the adapter command (–AUDIT). The default log

name is m4ftp.log and is located in the map directory. See the Trace(-T) adapter command for more information.

The adapter audit log contains information including the:

♦host identifier

♦files sent or received

♦size of each file

♦elapsed time

♦retry count for each file
