Error description
Websphere MQ Explorer allows the connection to remote queue managers via an intermediate queue manager. When attempting to connect to an FTE coordination queue manager using an intermediate queue manager it fails with "BFGUI0004 Could not establish connection to the queue manager as either the host or queue manager is unavailable."
Local fix
Websphere MQ Explorer FTE plug-in must be able to directly connect to the queue manager to be used as either the coordination or command QM.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer 7.5 who are using the New Managed File Transfer Configuration Wizard within MQ Explorer to define a new configuration and are specifying an intermediate queue manager as either the coordination or command queue manager. Platforms affected: Windows, Linux on x86, Linux on x86-64 **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: Specifying a queue manager that has been connected via an intermediate queue manager as either the Coordination or Command Queue Manager is not a supported configuration. The MQ Explorer New Managed File Transfer Configuration Wizard incorrectly allowed users to select a queue manager connected via an intermediate queue manager as either the coordination or command queue manager as a result of that queue manager appearing in the selection window.
Problem conclusion
The WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer plug-in to WebSphere MQ Explorer has been modified to ensure that queue managers that are connected via an intermediate queue manager do not appear in the list of queue managers when a user creates a new configuration using the New Managed File Transfer Configuration Wizard. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
