Error description
If the source queue of a transfer request is empty, and the fteCreateTransfer command is used to transfer a group of messages by specifying the -sqgi flag, the transfer result is indicated as successful and a zero byte file is created instead of resulting in a failed transfer with an appropriate message.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of the MFT when performing a transfer from a source Queue to a destination file/directory. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If you have the following: - A Source Queue that does not contain any messages. - Create a new Transfer request from this Source Queue to file. The transfer will complete without error and an empty file will be created on the destination side. This behaviour is incorrect since there was nothing to transfer and should not have created a file on the destination side. The transfer should fail indicating that no messages have been transfered.
Problem conclusion
The code has been changed to prevent the creating of a file on the destination agent, when the Source queue is empty and returns an error indicating no message found on the queue. eg. BFGIO0414E: No messages exist on queue "LQ1@QM1". --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.7 v9.2 LTS 9.2.0.2 The latest available MQ 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
