Error description
WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition added new functionality in 7.0.4.3, to perform 'inline' transfers. This is enabled by setting the maxInlineFileSize property. On WMQ FTE source agents running on Windows, setting this property did not cause 'inline' transfers to take place.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition 7.0.4.3 and WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer 7.5 who are using the 'inline' transfer feature and running the source agent on the Microsoft Windows platform. Platforms affected: Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: An incorrect syntax validation routine on the transfer item path caused the source agent to incorrectly treat a Windows file path (in the form :) as a Connect:Direct node path. The inline function is not supported for Connect:Direct nodes and so the source agent on Windows did not perform the inline transfer, even though the size of the data was under the maxInlineFileSize value and so should have been an inline transfer.
Problem conclusion
This APAR resolves the issue ensuring that an inline transfer can be executed when the transfer is using a Windows-style file path. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.0 7.0.4.4 v7.5 7.5.0.3 The latest available 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
