IC84095: WMQFTE 7.0.4.1, TRANSFER FAILS WHEN RESOURCE MONITOR DETECTS MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE FILENAME

WebSphere MQ V7.5 Fix Pack 7.5.0.1
WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.4.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using WebSphereMQ File Transfer Edition 7.0.4.1, transfer fails
  when a resource monitor detects multiple instances of the
  filename. This only occurs when there are multiple files with
  the same file name within the directories monitored by the
  monitor.
  .
  There are no errors or FFDCs written to the agent log.
  The files are not detected by the monitor and stuck in
  the sending directories.
  

Local fix

• Ensure that only one instance of a particular file name occurs
  <br/>in the directories a monitor queries, or to use a monitor
  that <br/>uses a trigger that does not use the poll feature.
  <br/> <br/> <br/>
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4
  who use Resource Monitors
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  Files may not be transmitted if a resource monitor is configured
  to scan multiple directories and wait for the files to remain
  unchanged for one or more poll interval, and two or more of
  the directories contain files of the same name.
  
  This occurs because only the file name was recorded between
  polls, and so the details for multiple files were overwriting
  the previous information, and the file was considered to be
  changing during each poll.
  

Problem conclusion

• The monitor has been updated to record the full path name of
  files being monitored, so each file is recorded in a unique
  manner.
