Error description

  • After upgrading the IIB embedded agent component to the IBM MQ
    V9.1.0 Managed File Transfer (MFT) level, the embedded agent
    failed to start and generated an ABEND file containing a
    TransportException. An example of the ABEND file is shown below:

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects users of the IBM MQ V9.1.0 Managed File
    Transfer (MFT) embedded agent component included within IBM
    Integration Bus (IIB).
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    After the IBM MQ MFT embedded agent component within IIB was
    upgraded to the V9.1.0.1 level, the embedded agent failed to
    start and generated an ABEND file containing a
    TransportException. The exception was thrown because the agent
    tried to run some MQ commands in order to determine information
    to write to its event log - however, the commands were not
    available as part of the embedded agent installation.
    
    An example of the ABEND file is shown below:

Problem conclusion

  • The IBM MFT embedded agent has been updated so that it does not
    try to run MQ commands, and only writes information relevant to
    an embedded agent installation to its event log.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs:
    
    Version    Maintenance Level
    v9.1 CD    9.1.3
    v9.1 LTS   9.1.0.3
    
    The latest available MQ maintenance can be obtained from
    'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes'
    http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037
    
    If the maintenance level is not yet available information on
    its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ
    Planned Maintenance Release Dates'
