Hi @MattWho  Apologies! I realized that the failed FlowFiles have the same 'filename' attribute as another FlowFile that has already been transferred to the target SFTP server. There are 20 files available in my HDFS path, and once the file is fetched, I am updating the 'filename' attribute using the below expression. However, one or two files are getting the same 'filename,' which is causing the error 'failed to rename dot-file': ${ExtractName}_${now():format('yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS')}.txt Thank you for providing inputs to identify the root cause of this issue. Now, could you please suggest the best approach to avoid this scenario, as even with milliseconds, it is getting the same filename?  As you suggested earlier, can we go with "Run Duration"  setting for putSFTP processor Thank you ...

Hi @MattWho  Thanks again for your suggestions The failures always occur during the renaming of dot files. There is no process consuming the file once it is placed on the SFTP server, and there is no chance that another process is consuming the dot files. None of the queued FlowFiles have the same 'filename' attribute as another FlowFile or a file already present on the target SFTP server. Unfortunately, we don't have permission to view the SFTP logs on our Linux server. I will connect with the admin team to obtain sample logs. PFB my putSFTP Processor configuration     ... View more

Hi @MattWho  Thank you for the great suggestions and super helpful information. Here are the results of what I tried: I set the Run Schedule to 0 seconds and stopped the PutSFTP processor. After all 20 flowfiles were queued up, I started it again. Result: Out of 20 flow files, 1 failed.  I set the Run Schedule to 0 seconds and let the flow run with all processors started (Here also, all 20 flow files came almost same time) Result: Out of 20 flow files, 2 failed. I updated the Run Schedule of the PutSFTP processor from 0 seconds to 30 seconds. Result: No failures, all 20 flow files passed. I updated the "Run Duration" to 500ms. Result: No failures, all 20 flow files passed. Could you please suggest the best approach to address this scenario? Option 3 or 4 ... View more

Hi @TimothySpann  If we introduce any "Run Schedule" delay for the putSFTP processor will it help to fix this issue ? I mean to change the  "Run Schedule" from 0 seconds to 30 seconds or something? There is no network delay and regarding the RAM size, we are yet to hear back from the platform team. ... View more

Typically, my HDFS path contains a total of 20 files. In production, the file sizes may vary from 300MB to 600MB, and the total file count would still be 20 And I am running on a Nifi Clustor    I am intermittently facing this failure  'Failed to rename dot-file.' for one or two files while preforming PutSFTP    The first PutSFTP processor is used to transfer the actual file and the second one is used to transfer the stats file corresponding to that file like file name, size, row count etc.  I can limit the second  PutSFTP  processor to transfer it once with all the 20 files details. ie, Transfer one stats file with the details of all 20 files. Can we store like this info in a variable line by line and then send at the end ?  FileName~RowCount~FileSize file1~100~1250 file2~200~3000 The above will also satisfy my requirement instead of multiple stats files for the second PutSFTP processor. Could you pleae some inputs on this issue.  Thank you ... View more
