What's new in Version 7.0.2?

Learn about the main new functions in WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.2.

IBM® i platform support
WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition now supports the transfer of files that reside in the "root" (/), QOpenSys, and QSYS.LIB file systems on IBM i systems. Save files in QSYS.LIB (IBM i native file system) are the only files eligible for file transfer operations.

File protocol bridge
The protocol bridge allows your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition network to access files stored on a file server outside your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition network. This file server can use either the FTP or SFTP network protocols. For more information, see Protocol bridge.
Enhancements to access control
WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition now supports finer grained checking of users' authorities, which permits access to be granted (or denied) to specific product functions for each user. For example, you can choose which users have the authority to schedule transfer operations to happen at a future time. For more information, start with the following topic: Managing authorities for WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition resources.
Support for multi-instance queue managers
WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1 supports the creation of multi-instance queue managers. WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.2 supports connection to multi-instance agent queue managers and a multi-instance coordination queue manager. For more information, see Multi-instance queue managers.
Maximum concurrent transfer limit - behavior change
When an agent reaches the limit of its maxSourceTransfers property (the default value is 25), any additional transfer requests no longer fail. The additional transfer requests are accepted and queued by the agent until the agent has capacity to run the transfers. The order that queued transfer requests are processed in is determined as a result of their priority and how long they have been queued. Old and high priority pending transfers are selected first. Transfers with a low priority that have been on the queue for a long time will be selected in preference to newer, higher priority transfers. The agent will queue up to the limit of maxQueuedTransfers requests before rejecting the request with a SOURCE_CAPACITY_EXCEEDED (44) return code.

For more information about these properties, see Advanced agent properties.
