APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The FileNodes when used in SFTP mode support connecting to SFTP server using a MAC algorithm of hmac-sha2-256, but it is not possible to set the "Message authentication code" (i.e. mac) property on an FTPServer policy to this value. Attempting to use a policy with this value set will cause a BIP3379 error to be generated when the policy is used. BIP3379W: File node 'File Read' in message flow 'Flow'. FTP server definition '{SFTPPolicy}:TestServer contains an invalid mac property. This MAC algorithm can be used implicitly in a direct connect to an SFTP server without using a policy.
