IT10490: THE FILE NAME OF THE WINDOWS SERVICE LOG FOR IBM MQ MFT IS NOT AS DOCUMENTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The IBM MQ Managed File Transfer Windows Service log file is
  documented in the Knowledge Center:
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_8.0.0/com.i
  bm.wmqfte.doc/trouble_win_service_logger.htm
  
  The log file is documented as having the name servicedate.log,
  where date is the date when the service was started.
  
  Instead the log file is created as service0.log. This is
  incorrect against the documentation, and inconsistent with the
  WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition product.
  

Local fix
