Hi,
In your application do you have SYNCPOINT ? If not do include.

For further ref See:

I cannot do a syncpoint as i don't want to save the database data. I want to save only files

Sounds like the file is defined as recoverable, issue a syncpoint to commit what has been written and they will not be backed off.
The work done between syncpoints will be considered a "logical unit of work" (LUW).

Hi William,
Can you help in me handling through the definition of the file. Either with FCT or file definition
