Error description

• Allocation failure for file to dataset transfer using WMQFTE for
  z/OS if agent property bpxwdynAllocAdditionalOptions is used to
  set dataset attributes in addition to attributes specified
  in the -ds option of the FTE transfer command.
  
  Symptom string:
  BFGIO0023E: Failed to allocate DDName for data set. Allocate
  command used: ""ALLOC FI(####) DSN(###)
  NEW REUSE CATALOG CYL SPACE(500,500) RECFM(F,B) BLKSIZE(0)
  LRECL(80) DSORG(PS) RECFM(U) BLKSIZE(0)"
  reason: bpxwdyn failed failed RC=-333 (0xfffffeb3)
  
  additional reason code :
  bpxwdyn failed RC=-334 (0xfffffeb2).
  

Local fix

• specify all dataset attributes in the -ds transfer option
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7
  using the bpxwdynAllocAdditionalOptions agent property.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The bpxwdynAllocAdditionalOptions agent property allows a
  default set of BPXWDYN options to be supplied which will be used
  when Datasets are created.
  
  The -ds option can be used on the fteCreateTransfer command to
  set explicit values for BPXWDYN options for a specific transfer.
  
  These two sets of BPXWDYN options would simply be appended
  rather than merged, which can lead to situations where
  specific BPXWDYN options are specified multiple times. If this
  happens the command will be rejected and the transfer will fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been altered to merge the two sets of BPXWDYN
  options. Those options specified in
  bpxwdynAllocAdditionalOptions will be used as the default set of
  options. Should further options be added via the -ds option,
  they will be appended to the BPXWDYN request. Should the same
  BPXWDYN option be specified in both
  bpxwdynAllocAdditionalOptions and the -ds option, the -ds option
  will take precedence.
