What's new in Version 7.0.4.1?

Learn about the new function in WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4.1.

Version 7.0.4.1 is a fix pack containing new function. By default, this new function is not enabled. To enable this function for agents and command-line tools, add the enableFunctionalFixPack property to the wmqfte.properties file. For more information, see The wmqfte.properties file. This property does not enable the new function in the WebSphere MQ Explorer plug-in. After installing Version 7.0.4.1 and starting WebSphere MQ Explorer, you can enable the new function from the Preferences pane.

  • You can sort the columns in any of the panels by clicking the column header in the Navigator View.
  • The Pending Transfers panel now shows the optional job name assigned to each file transfer.
  • There is a new wizard to create transfers, monitors, and templates that replaces previous wizards. The new wizard includes the following features:
    • You can now edit and change the individual items in a previously saved transfer request template.
    • As part of a file transfer request, you can now specify a program, Ant script, or JCL job to run either before a transfer starts or after it finishes.
    • The wizard provides help in specifying variable substitution values in the transfer elements.
    • You can specify a job name for a file transfer.
    • There is an improved method of specifying BPXWDYN options for data sets.
    • You can edit the configuration of an existing monitor by selecting the monitor and using the right-click menu on the Monitors panel.
    • When submitting a new file transfer request to an agent in the same location, you can now use a standard file selector dialog box to browse for the files.
