IC59506: WMQFTE SCHEDULING TRANSFER DOESN'T WORK WHEN USING JAPANESE LOCALE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the GUI is generating a scheduled create transfer the
  interval should be minutes but it is passing the value of
   "..."
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The GUI incorrectly submits transfer requests with the
  translated form of the repeat interval type. The agent will only
  accept these submissions in English form.
  
  Scheduled transfers submitted from a non-English system with a
  selection repetition interval would never appearing in the
  'Pending Transfers' view and the transfer would never take
  place. A failure message will have been published to the audit
  log indicating that the transfer request was malformed, with an
  additional supplement indicating that a valid repeat interval of
  minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years should be used.
  This indicates that an unexpected (non-English) value has been
  found in the command XML for repetition interval. To further
  confirm that this problem is being exhibited, agent trace can be
  enabled (see
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqfte/v7r0/index.jsp?t
  opic=/com.ibm.wmqfte.home.doc/help_home_wmqfte.htm) and the
  scheduled transfer request submitted. The agent trace would then
  contain similar output to the follow sample for the request
  message:
  
  <schedule>
    <submit timebase="admin"
  timezone="Asia/Tokyo">2009-01-09T14:00</submit>
    <repeat>
      <frequency interval="...">1</frequency>
      <expireCount>1</expireCount>
    </repeat>
  </schedule>
  
  
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users on translated (non-English) locale attempting to
  schedule a repeating transfer with a repeat interval type (e.g.,
  seconds, minutes, hours).
  
  
  PLATFORMS AFFECTED:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is for the GUI to only use translated strings to display
  the repeat interval type. It correctly maps these to their
  English counterparts before submitting the transfer.
  

Temporary fix

• Ifix available
