Error description
The WebSphere MQ 7.5 MFT component uses platform native code to run the Process Controller, which in turn start the Java MFT agents. This Process Controller incorporates the International Components for Unicode For C (ICU4C) library to assist with the globalization of the messages which are output by the Process Controller. The version of ICU4C which the Process Controller currently utilises is 48.1. Newer versions of the ICU4C library have been released, and the WebSphere MQ 7.5 MFT component should be updated to obtain any defect fixes which are available in the more recent versions.
