Fix Pack 8.0.0.2 for WebSphere MQ V8.0
WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.4.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• GDG G0000V00 not passed to destination with
  enableFunctionalFixPack=7044 enabled.
  
   The FTE agent GDG file name changed at the destination
  
   A GDG source file transferred from z/OS to Windows via
  fteCreateTransfer name changed at destination since upgrade to
  WMQ FTE V7.0.4.4
  
  For example the following command was issued:
  
  fteCreateTransfer -p FTEx -w -sa AGENTx -sm FTEQM -da DS.FTE
  -dm FTEx -t text -de overwrite -dd "d:/temp" "//'FILE.NAME(0)'"
  
   On Windows the destination file arrives with file name
  FILE.NAME(0) instead of FILE.NAME.G0001V00 as expected.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This APAR affects three categories of users:
  
  1) Uses of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.4.0.3 or later,
  who have set the property "enableFunctionalFixPack" in the
  installation.properties file to either the value "7043" or
  "7.0.4.3" and are transferring data from a relative Generation
  Data Group (GDG) file on z/OS.
  
  2) Users of WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer V7.5.0.2 or
  later, who have set the property "enableFunctionalFixPack" in
  the installation.properties file to either the value "7502" or
  "7.5.0.2" and are transferring data from a relative Generation
  Data Group (GDG) file on z/OS.
  
  3) Users of WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer V8 who are
  transferring data from a relative Generation Data Group (GDG)
  file on z/OS.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When a new transfer request was submitted to transfer a relative
  Generation Data Group (GDG) file on z/OS, the name of the source
  file was interpreted as the relative GDG name (for example
  FILE.NAME(0) ) instead of the absolute GDG name (e.g.
  FILE.NAME.G0001V00).
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition and Managed File Transfer
  agent has been modified to use an absolute filename (e.g.
  FILE.NAME.G0001V00) instead of the relative name (e.g.
  FILE.NAME(0)) when transferring data from a GDG file on z/OS.
