Error description
When WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition (FTE) version 7.0.4.1 is trying to transfer a file with "textReplacementCharacterSequence" set in the destination agent properties file, failure occurs with error BFGIO0060E (Text data conversion has failed). The successful completion of file transfer with the specified character inserted for unmappable character is not occurring as expected.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0.4 who are performing text transfers and have configured a value for the "textReplacementCharacterSequence " property in the agent.properties file of their destination Agent. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: When unmappable characters were encountered during the decoding phase of text conversion, the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition text converter was not replacing these characters with the sequence specified by the "textReplacementCharacterSequence" property of the destination agent. Instead, the transfer was failing with the following error code: BFGIO0060E. This was a consequence of incorrect configuration of the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition text converter. The replacement sequence specified by the "textReplacementCharacterSequence" property of the destination agent was only being used to replace unmappable characters during the encoding phase of the text conversion and not the decoding phase.
Problem conclusion
The WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition text converter has been modified such that the replacement character sequence specified by the "textReplacementCharacterSequence" property of the agent.properties file of the destination agent is now correctly utilised for unmappable characters encountered during the decoding phase of text conversion. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Platform v7.5 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.5.0.3 Platform v7.0 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.0.4.4 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
