APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
You run WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Web Gateway. You have a large number of files sitting in filespaces in a web gateway and you want to get a selection of these files by using one of the supported filter options (transfer_query) as part of the "Uniform Resource Identifier syntax for using the Web Gateway". In the below example you try to get all files in a filespace that start after 2016/01/11: http://172.28.24.25:9080/wmqfte/filespace/7400_svc_transport? startafter=2016-01-11 This query finishes with the error: BFGWI0032E: Parameter 'startafter' is invalid. Effectively all filespace query requests that include file_space_query parameters "startbefore, startafter, endbefore, or endafter" are rejected with the error message: BFGWI0032E: Parameter '<parameter name>' is invalid.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users attempting Web Gateway filespace query and using filespace status parameter to filter response. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the Web Gateway received a filespace status requests that used file space parameters to filter the responses, the wrong validation routine was used to validate the parameters. As a result, the request was rejected with a BFGWI0032E error. For example, the request: <connection>/<context_root>/filespace/<file_space_name>?startaft er=2016-01-01 would receive the response BFGWI0032E: Parameter 'startafter' is invalid.
Problem conclusion
The Web Gateway has been corrected to accept startbefore, startafter, endbefore, and endafter date/time parameters and compare these with the date/time each file space entry in the file space was created so that the response will contain a filtered list of entries. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.5 7.5.0.7 v8.0 8.0.0.5 The latest available FTE maintenance can be obtained from 'Fix List for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition 7.0' http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27015313 The latest available MQ maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
