Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00038493
  PB / PB
  Workaround is to use the 'classic' FTP adapter
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender customers that invoke the
  outbound based "Retrieve" operation, particularly in an input
  card or rule.
  
  
  Problem Description:
  The WebSphere FTP outbound-based "Retrieve" operation is not
  working in an input card.
  
  Platforms:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere FTP Adapter now properly handles the "Retrieve"
  operation in an input card.  The data retrieved reflects the raw
  bytes of the file that is located on the FTP server.  Before
  this fix, the retrieve operation would fail, even thought the
  same command worked in the 8.2 release.  The fix also enables
  the rule-based "Retrieve" operation to return the raw data.
  Before this fix, the FTP file data was wrapped in an XML
  construct.
