Increase the Local and Responder User Profile User ID Maximum This release increases the maximum length of both local and responder profile user IDs from 20 characters to 64 characters. Send Only One Summary for Successful Directory Transfers When you perform a directory transfer and all the files within the directory are transferred successfully, if Success is specified, only a summary is sent. However, if any of those file transfers fails, an individual is sent for that failed transfer and a summary is sent when the directory transfer is completed. Display an Error When a Node Does Not Exist in cfrprofile Prompt When cfrprofile prompt:yes is executed, if you type in a node name that does not exist, an error message stating the node definition cannot be found is displayed.

10 10 Closed Issues The table lists closed issues in version of TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/ Linux. Key PSU-396 PSU-383 PSU-348 PSU-377 PSU-214 PSU-338 PSU-333 PSU-319 PSU-236 PSU-207 PSU-175 PSU-217 PSU-216 Summary When sending a zero byte file from Windows to AIX, if the encryption used on the AIX system was Rijndael, the transfer failed. When initiating a transfer from Internet Server to a platform server on UNIX, if the transfer failed or was cancelled before the first checkpoint was taken, the PQF record on the platform server was not deleted. When you initiated a directory transfer from Command Center to send files between two platform servers on UNIX, after the transfer was completed, the pid.error files did not get deleted in the mftps_install/temp folder on the platform server for UNIX. Resolves a problem with Double Byte characters in the FileName when BW submits the transfer through MFT Command Center to MFT Platform Server on UNIX. Add support for double byte characters in the Initiator File Name and Responder File Name for Platform Transfers initiated by Command Center. Resolves a problem when CyberResp is not started from the CFROOT directory, internal commands like FUSUTIL and CFDIR fail. Updates the socket buffer sizes to the TCP default. Upgrades openssl to openssl-0.9.8zf. Resolves a problem where all errors were retried, not just temporary errors. Under some circumstances, a temporary error may be reported as a permanent error. Resolves a problem where DataClass was always reported as N/A in Unix Log.txt. Changes made to create a new directory with the same permissions as the parent directory. Previously new directories were created with 700 permissions. If a directory is created under the root "/", it will be created with 755. MFT Platform Client requires the TLS protocol when initiating an SSL connection to TIBCO MFT Platform Server. Resolves a problem where the last character of the Remote File Name can be truncated.

11 11 Key PSU-213 Summary Allows the following values for the RetenPeriod_ExpDate (rp_ed) parameter: Allow 1999/000 Change 99/000 to PSU-208 PSU-197 PSU-188 PSU-172 PSU-183 PSU-180 PSU-179 PSU-178 Resolves a problem recovering from "Process Limit Reached - Try Again Later" error after resource shortage. Resolves a problem when transferring files with Unicode file names. Resolves a problem supporting Unicode characters in FileName, Log.txt and Collector Requests A new Encode parameter was added to the config.txt COMMON section, for example: # [ COMMON ] Encode: IBM-eucKR { N, encoding_name } If Encode is N or not defined, no additional encoding conversion will be done; all file names assumed to be in UTF-8. If Encode is defined, local and remote file names will be converted: => when Initiating a transfer, the file names are converted from native file system "Encode" to UTF-8 => when Responding to a transfer request, the file names are converted from UTF-8 to native system "Encode" This encoding conversion is performed on cfsend, cfrecv, CyberResp. It is a "Global" parameter common to both Initiator and Responder. Adds the following command line transfer parameters: maintainbdw mbdw { y, n } maintainrdw mrdw { y, n } The default value is n. Resolves a problem with non-root installs when CyberResp attempts to restart a transfer. Now if the user that submits the transfer is the same as the CyberResp user, the transfer will be restarted. If the user that submits the transfer is different than the CyberResp user, an error message will be written indicating the transfer cannot be restarted. Resolves a problem where the RetenPeriod_ExpDate (rp_ed) parameter did not allow a date yyyy/ddd where ddd equals 000. Resolves a problem where PPA commands were truncated when using double quotes within the command. Resolved an intermittent core dump when the TIBCO MFT Command Center performed a Node function to this platform server.

12 12 Key PSU-176 PSU-174 Summary Added trace messages to display DNS lookup information when the trace level is set to Medium or High. Resolves a problem when running a directory transfer. If no files are found the audit record incorrectly set this as a temporary error. PSU-170 Resolves a core dump when cflist.cfg contains a file name longer than 22 characters. PSU-153 Added the move option to the fusutil utility to resolve a problem where fusutil rename would fail when a file is renamed to a directory on a different partition. Example command: S,R,COMMAND,fusutil m <old_filename> <new_filename> PSU-139 PSU-149 PSU-148 PSU-147 PSU-146 PSU-145 PSU-144 PSU-143 PSU-141 PSU-128 PSU-127 Resolves a problem where a cfdir or fusutil command fails when an installation path is too long. Resolves a problem with directory transfers from JMS where the Wait for Transfer to Complete finishes prematurely, after the first transfer completes. Resolves the following error when sending a file with a size of exactly 4075 bytes or a multiple of 4075 bytes and AES encryption is enabled: Reason: Write file failed. The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation. Resolves a problem where a high volume of concurrent transfers may result in duplicate transaction IDs. Resolves a problem where the line feed delimiter value "LF" was not preserved in the audit record. Resolves a problem where the ScanSubDir parameter did not work when executing a platform transfer from Command Center. The field is also now included in the audit record and collected audit records on Command Center correctly report the ScanSubDir value. Note, this fix is dependent on a Command Center update to be released after this hotfix. Resolves a problem where the byte count was reported as zero when a network error occurred. Resolves a problem where the RetenPeriod_ExpDate (rp_ed) parameter is corrupted when sending to z/os. Resolves a problem where the Platform Server starts but terminates when ECONNABORTED exception is received. Resolves an error when sending a zero byte file to z/os as initiator or responder. Updated the OpenSSL modules to version OpenSSL 0.9.8y-fips. Note, not included for the HP-UX RISC platform.

13 13 Key PSU-125 PSU-100 PSU-094 CA01875-AIX CS Solaris SPARC CN Solaris x86 CH01878-HP RISC CI01879-HP Itanium CL01880-Linux CM01881-z/ Linux Summary Improves transfer speed by increasing the size of the socket send and receive buffers. Increased the maximum User ID length from 20 to 64 bytes in the cfprofile, audit record and IS collector requests. Resolves a problem where the Remove Trailing Spaces parameter did not work when executing a platform transfer from Command Center. The field is also now included in the audit record and collected audit records on Command Center correctly report the Remove Trailing Spaces value. Resolves a problem authenticating to a system configured to use shadow passwords. Resolves a problem where no Audit record was written when a Platform to Platform transfer was submitted from TIBCO MFT Command Center and an error occurred as a result of invalid parameter settings. Audit records for transfers containing a remote DomainName\UserId have been updated to report the domain name. Resolves a problem where Directory Transfer Summary audit record set the end time to the same value as the start time. Resolves a problem when using TIBCO MFT Command Center to pull audit records for a specific transfer user, all records were for all users were being returned. Resolves a problem when a user is not in the cfbrowse or cfadmin groups, and the user specifies the LocalUser parameter, cfinq incorrectly returned all transfers for the logged on user. cfinq now returns no transfers. Updated Audit log entry to report BF_56 instead of BF_256 when encryption type Blowfish is used. Resolves a problem on cfsend when specifying the uperm parameter with a value of n. The remote system was not correctly using the default permissions set the config.txt file.

14 14 Known Issues The table lists known issues in version of TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/ Linux. Key PSU-398 PSU-389 PSU-248 Summary Summary: During send transfers to a distribution list, if you specify any of the these parameters on the command line: encryption, SSL, port and compression, they cannot override the values defined for the nodes which are included in the distribution list. Workaround: Configure the necessary encryption, SSL, port and compression in the node definition when sending to a distribution list. Summary: After finishing a send command transfer from the platform server on UNIX to a platform server on Windows, if you retrieve the audit log from the platform server on UNIX and resubmit the transfer on the Audit Details page of Command Center, the transfer direction changes to receive. Workaround: None. Summary: When you run the fusping command against TIBCO MFT Platform Server for Windows with earlier versions, if the license key of the Windows server has expired, a wrong message indicating a network error is displayed. Workaround: None.
