Error description
Working with WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0.4. The FTE resource monitor " message to file transfer " does not work properly, if message grouping is used. In case messages are put on a queue in an unordered manner, where messages that belong to a messageGroup are put on the the queue mixed with messages that do not belong to a messageGroup, not all messages are written to the final destination.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition 7.0.4 and WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer 7.5 who are using the message to file transfer feature to transfer message groups. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: When specifying a message to file transfer the user can define the group id of the message group that will be transferred. The WebSphere MQ FTE/MFT agent should then wait until the complete group of messages is available on the queue before reading them off the queue. If first message defined in the group was not the first message physically on the queue then the FTE/MFT agent would not read this message. The FTE/MFT agent incorrectly read the grouped message closest to the front of the queue rather than the first logical message in the group on the queue. The result is that the file at the destination side would only contain a subset of the expected message data, the transfer log would report no error and the message count contained within the transfer log would be correct for the data that was transferred i.e. if a message group contained 10 messages but only 8 messages were transferred then the message count would be 8.
Problem conclusion
The FTE/MFT agent has been modified to retrieve the first logical message in the group when processing a message to file transfer that is using message groups. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.0 7.0.4.4 v7.5 7.5.0.4 The latest available 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
