IT35941: Running fteCreateTransfer for a message-to-file transfer, wherethe source queue is empty, results in a failed transf

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The fteCreateTransfer command is used to submit a managed
  transfer request for a message-to-file transfer, where the
  source queue for the managed transfer is empty. When the managed
  transfer request is processed by the agent, it is marked as
  "Failed" with the error message:
  
  BFGIO0414E: No messages exist on queue "<queue>@<queue manager>"

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of MQ Managed File Transfer who perform
  message-to-file transfers.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  APAR IT33189 changed the behaviour of MQ Managed File Transfer
  message-to-file transfers, so that:
  
  - If a new managed transfer request for a message-to-file
  transfer was submitted to an agent.
  - And the source queue for the managed transfer did not contain
  any messages.
  
  the transfer would complete with an error. This behaviour was
  incorrect - the managed transfer should have completed
  successfully and indicated that there were no messages on the
  queue.
  

Problem conclusion

• MQ Managed File Transfer has been changed to ensure that
  message-to-file transfers that are submitted for an empty source
  queue complete successfully. The supplementary information for
  the transfer item will show that there was no messages on the
  source queue, and so no items were transferred.
  
  As part of this change, the error message:
  
  BFGIO0414E: No messages exist on queue "<queue>@<queue
  manager>".
  
  has been changed to be an informational message, as shown below:
  
  BFGIO0414I: No messages exist on queue "<queue>@<queue
  manager>".
