APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The "Agents" panel within the IBM MQ Explorer Managed File Transfer (MFT) plugin displays the status of the agents within an IBM MQ MFT topology. In order to determine an agent's status, the plugin: - Subscribes to the SYSTEM.FTE topic on the coordination queue manager for the topology, using the topic string "/Agents/#" - And performs some processing of the agent status messages that it receives. The trace generated by the IBM MQ Explorer MFT plugin when it is processing the status messages is missing useful information, which makes it difficult for IBM Support to identify how the plugin has determined the state of an agent.
