Error description
When using the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition MQ Explorer plugin to create a monitor that uses the $CURRENTTIMESTAMP variable, the variable inserted into the transfer XML is misspelled, and subsequently the variable is not substituded for the current timestamp as expected. This can cause the transfer to fail.
Local fix
Use the command line to create the transfer instead of the GUI .
