Hi Cleo,
Could you please try the following workflow.
1.Are you getting this error message when trying to schedule a single report or when bursting the reports in a bunch?
2. We need to check the seeting on the FTP server if this is an issue with the report bursting.
Tracing the Destination server or something would help[ You can put a trace by stopping the destination server and putting -trace in the command line of destination and the job server that are involved in it], but I can think of a test that may be faster to reproduce:
With such a test running, do repeated netstat -a from the command line on the server running the job. This should tell us if we're just adding more and more connections without closing them, for instance. The FTP server itself may also have a limit on the number of connections it allows in altogether, or from a single host. At the point that things start failing, from the same machine, make also an interactive FTP request from the command line. This should tell you whether you can still log in. If you cannot, you know that your FTP server is no longer accepting connections, and is perhaps waiting for things to time out. Also, since it is external, we may well be trying to upload 130 docs at the same time, with the first one still being written, when the next upload request comes in. Maybe the server just can't handle that many writing streams at the same time. There may be a bandwidth constraint as well, so maybe we're getting connection errors because we trying to logon yet again, when already we're sending MBs down the pipe in multiple streams.
I hope this helps.
