Broadcast report to FTP occasionally sends 0 byte corrupted file .
Resolved
Hi,
There have been reports that some reports sent to FTP server are sent as 0 byte files and cannot be opened. Opening the XLS file shows file is corrupted error.
Can this even occur? As I thought if there were no records returned based on report query, no report will be sent. So thinking if it is a network/connectivity issue to the FTP server.
If the report generation times out for what ever reason, what occurs? Does YellowFin retry to broadcast, how many times before it stops retrying.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Duy
The same problem 
Hi Duy Do,
Does the report always generate data when run or does the report sometimes produce an empty report?
This certainly could be related to a network or (disk capacity issue perhaps?)
If the report fails to generate or cause an error, then the broadcast should fail and no file should be sent and Yellowfin will both show a Failure in the Admin Schedule section and an error the yellowfin.log should appear. Are you seeing any errors in the Schedule section or the logs? There is currently no retry feature for the broadcast except to run the next time, but an enhancement has been mad with our Dev team.
Do you have any yellowfin logs applicable to the time this happened last that I can look at?
Regards,
Paul
