Error description
Using the Managed File Transfer plugin of the MQ Explorer, a transfer template is created with "Scheduled to run" option set to "Forever". When updating the template, by right-clicking on it under the "Transfer Templates" view and choosing one of the edit options, both "Until" and "Forever" options are checked (selected via the radio buttons) on the page displaying the schedule details. This is an invalid combination of options as only one of the "Until", "For" and "Forever" options must be selected. If the user does not uncheck the "Until" option while updating the template, then this selection takes precedence over the originally chosen "Forever" option. If the transfer is submitted to agent, it will not run only until the time and date specified by the "Until" configuration, not forever.
Local fix
If you have defined a template with "Scheduled to run" option set to "Forever", then when updating the template, deselect "Until" option in "Optionally schedule transfer to take place at a later time" page by explicitly clicking on the "Forever" option.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of the MQ Explorer Managed File Transfer plugin who edit transfer templates that have a schedule defined specifying the transfer should run either forever or for a particular number of iterations. Platforms affected: Windows, Linux on x86-64 **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the Managed File Transfer plugin of the MQ Explorer loaded a transfer template to edit that contained scheduled details, it automatically selected the "Until" radio button in the "Transfer repeats" section if the template was defined to repeat. If the transfer template was configured to repeat for a set number of iterations or to run forever, the MQ Explorer would select the appropriate radio button, but would not deselect the "Until" radio button. The "Until" selection was then saved on the transfer template and not the original "For" or "Forever" option.
Problem conclusion
The Managed File Transfer plugin of the MQ Explorer has been updated to correct the issue described above and ensure the correct transfer repeat option is selected when editing a transfer template with a defined schedule. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.6 v9.1 CD 9.1.2 v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.2 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
