New fteClearMonitorHistory command for clearing resource monitor history

From IBM MQ 9.1.3, the fteClearMonitorHistory command provides a mechanism for clearing the history of a Managed File Transfer resource monitor to simplify the process of re-initiating failed transfers. For more information, see Clearing resource monitor history and fteClearMonitorHistory.

Option to specify wait time for Managed File Transfer database logger shut down

From IBM MQ 9.1.3, a new property, immediateShutdownTimeout, is added to the logger.properties file. When this property is called, the logger waits for the specified amount of time for any outstanding operations to complete and shut down gracefully. For more information, see The MFT logger.properties file.

Advanced Message Security interception on server-to-server message channels

IBM MQ for z/OS 9.1.3 introduces AMS interception on server-to-server message channels.

This feature enables you, for example, to decrypt outbound messages to a business partner who does not use AMS and to encrypt inbound messages from a business partner who does not use AMS. Therefore, allowing you to support AMS and to communicate with business partners who do not support AMS.

For more information, see overview of AMS interception and example configurations.
