Error description
A WebSphere MQ 7.5 Managed File Transfer transfer setup to transfer files from protocol bridge agent with the following source specification: Server:/dir1/dir2/*.file is intermittently getting BFGIO0106E errors while trying to incorrectly process Server:/dir1/dir2 as a file transfer. Example error: BFGIO0106E: File "Server:/dir1/dir2" is not a normal file (it might be a directory).;
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This APAR affects all users of WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer who use a protocol bridge agent as the source of files for a file transfer. If particular it affects users who use a wild-card when specifying the names of the source files to be transferred. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The problem occurred when attempting to generate a list of file names to be processed. The protocol bridge agent needed to connect to a remote ftp/sftp server to obtain a list of file names that matched a wild-card specification. The agent was unable to make the connection and an exception was generated. The processing of this exception was handled internally but the action taken allowed the processing of the transfer to continue processing with an empty list of file names. This subsequently caused the creation of the error message "BFGIO0106E: File "Server:/dir1/dir2" is not a normal file (it might be a directory)".
Problem conclusion
The WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer product code has been modified such that when a connection to a remote ftp/sftp server fails the original exception generated by this failure is now returned and this will cause the transfer to fail. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.0 7.0.4.5 v7.5 7.5.0.5 v8.0 8.0.0.2 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
