IT09871: MQ MFT 7.5: "BFGIO0150E INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED. MISSING ATTRIBUTES FOR " WHEN FTP SERVER RETURNS ERROR 425

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A file or files were transfered to an FTP server using a MFT
  protocol bridge agent and all the files transfered successfully,
  but when the protocol bridge agent made a connection to the ftp
  server to check the file attributes the FTP server ran out of
  resources and responded FTP Reply Code 425. This response is a
  transient error which the agent can recover from, but the
  protocol bridge agent incorrectly interpreted it as a permanent
  error, marked the transfer as failed and issued the error:
  "BFGIO0150E: An internal error has occurred. Missing attributes
  for ".
  The correct behaviour would be to treat this condition as
  recoverable, and put the managed transfer into recovery so that
  it is re-queued it for processing at later time.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer
  v7.5 and V8 Protocol Bridge Agent who are communicating with an
  FTP(S) Server which drops/rejects requests due to resource
  limitations.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  After completing a file transfer request to a remote FTP(S)
  server the protocol bridge agent reconnects to the FTP(S) server
  to check the attributes of the transfered file(s). If the FTP
  server is unable to process the File Attribute request and drops
  the connection or rejects the request with a Reply Code of 425
  then the protocol bridge agent handles the return code as a
  failed transfer and issues the error: "BFGIO0150E: An internal
  error has occurred. Missing attributes for
  

Problem conclusion

• The protocol bridge agent has been updated to handle the dropped
  connection / rejected request as a recoverable error and the
  file transfer will be put into RECOVERY status so that it can be
  retried.
