Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4 and 7.5 Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: When multiple transfers occur concurrently and these transfers attempt to create the same target directory, then an exception can occur that causes the transfer to fail because it believes it can not create the target directory.
Problem conclusion
The issue was caused by a timing window where more than one transfer attempted to create the same target directory. When the second transfer failed to create the target directory (because the first transfer successfully created it) then it caused the transfer to fail as it believe it did not have permission to create the directory. This APAR solves the timing issue by making sure that concurrent transfers can create the same target directory with no errors. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Platform v7.5 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.5.0.1 Platform v7.0 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.0.4.3 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
