IC84032: WEBSPHERE MQ FTE V704 THE WEBSPHERE MQ EXPLORER FTE PLUGIN DOES NOT SHOW TRANSFERS THAT HAPPEN WHILE THE EXPLORER IS CLOSED

WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.4.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a scenario where a WebSphere MQ Explorer is closed, any MQ
  FTE
  transfers that take place are not shown in the transfer log when
  the WebSphere MQ Explorer is re-opened. Once it is opened, any
  new transfers are shown in the transfer log. In the preferences,
  for Websphere MQ File Transfer Edition, the transfer log
  subscriber type is DURABLE. This should mean that the
  subscriptions should be retained for the next time the Explorer
  is opened and the transfers should then be visible in the
  plug-in.
  

Local fix

• None <br/>
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version MQ
  Explorer plugin
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  If the MQ Explorer was closed when files are being
  transferred, some transfers would not appear in the transfer
  log. This was due to a race condition during the startup
  procedure of the MQ Explorer FTE plugin. Additionally, if
  transfer audit messages arrived out of order for transfers which
  occurred whilst the MQ Explorer was not running, they would
  remain in 'In Progress' state, despite having completed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been altered to resolve the race condition and
  ensure that out of order messages from the SYSTEM.FTE topic
  are correctly catered for.
