WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.4.2
WebSphere MQ V7.5 Fix Pack 7.5.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Creating an FTE monitor using the fteCreateMonitor command
  specifying a wildcard as part of the match parameter, e.g. -tr
  "match,*.xml" to poll for xml files in a specific directory,
  results in the variable ${FilePath{token=-3}} will not be
  recognised in the destination path of the task definition file.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version using
  substitution variables in resource monitor transfer XML
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  In some situations it was possible for text to be split across
  multiple nodes when parsing transfer XML. If the boundary of
  such a split occurs within a substitution variable, the variable
  will not be recognised when the resource monitor triggers.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been altered to ensure that text is not split
  across multiple nodes when parsing transfer XML.
