IT09213: RESIDUAL FILES LEFT DURING FTP WITH FILE NAMES CONTAINING SPECIAL CHARACTERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In order to enable FTP of files with names containing special
  characters, while saving a copy in transit directory, broker
  encodes the file name and stores the file using that name.
  
  So, for the file name ??????_3-1Z20150419011655064 (????? are
  Japanese chars), a file 937041.encoded_ ftp_file
  is created in mqsitransit and is deleted after successful
  transfer. But, along with 937041.encoded_ ftp_file,
  an additional file by name 937041 is also created, but never
  deleted.
  

Local fix

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  In order to enable FTP transfer of files with names containing
  special characters, while saving a copy in transit directory,
  broker encodes the file name and stores the file using that
  name.
  
  Foe example:
  
  For the file name ??????_3-1Z20150419011655064 (?????
  areJapanese chars), a file 937041.encoded_ ftp_file
  is created in mqsitransit and is deleted after successful
  transfer.
  
  However, along with 937041.encoded_ ftp_file, an additional file
  named 937041 is also created. This second file is never deleted.
  
  This can lead to exhaustion of space on the filesystem holding
  the mqsitransit directory.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. For details

  directory during FTP of files with special characters in file
  names.
