Error description

  • A user has set the destination file encoding to "UTF-8" when
    creating a file transfer template using the MQ Explorer wizard,
    however the fteCreateTransfer command preview was missing the
    -dce UTF-8 argument.
    

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    The issue affects the users of IBM MQ Explorer who use it to
    create file transfer templates and specify:
    
    	- source or destination file encoding
    	- destination end of line (EOL) character
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    Windows, Linux on x86-64
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The "Add a transfer item" panel within the IBM MQ Explorer
    Managed File Transfer plugin "Create a new template" wizard
    allows users to specify the following properties for text
    transfers:
    
    	- source file encoding
    	- destination file encoding
    	- destination end of line (EOL) character
    	
    These properties can be set using the fields:
    
    	- source encoding -> User specific codepage
    	- destination encoding -> Use specific codepage
    	- Destination line ending
    
    on the panel, and map to the following fteCreateTransfer command
    line options:
    
    	-sce
    	-dce
    	-dle
    	
    When a user set one of these options, then the "Command preview"
    text box (on the last page of the wizard) did not show the
    appropriate arguments (-sce, -dce, -dle).
    

Problem conclusion

  • The IBM MQ Explorer Managed File Transfer plugin has been
    updated so that if the "Create a new template" wizard is used to
    create a text transfer, and one or more of the following options
    are selected:
    
    	- source encoding -> User specific codepage
    	- destination encoding -> Use specific codepage
    	- Destination line ending
    
    then the -sce, -dce and -dle arguments, with the appropriate
    values, will be shown in the "Command preview" text box.
