Introduction

This is the sixth hotfix for TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server 
for UNIX 7.1.0 and TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server 
for z/Linux 7.1.0. This is a cumulative hotfix and includes all generally 
available fixes for TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for UNIX 7.1.0 
and TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/Linux 7.1.0.   

Note: The hotfix number has changed to the TIBCO Standard hotfix number 
      convention.  Prior hotfixes had a different hotfix number for each
      Platform.
      Example: CA01982, CI01983, CL01984, CM01985, CN01986, CS01987

Closed Issues in 7.1.0_HF-001 (This Release)

PSU-449
Added additional debugging information when CyberResp transfers failed with 
error:"CyberResp: Error writing to transaction file".

PSU-444 
Some audit records collected by Command Center were duplicate, while some 
audit records were not collected. 

PSU-384 Added the following parameter to the Common section of the config.txt
to allow user to configure the send and receive window size:
    TcpWindowSize:        N                              { N, # of Kb } 
    Notes:  A value of N means the OS default window size will be used.
        CyberResp must be restarted after changing this value.
        Future releases will not support this config.txt parameter; these 
        releases have a different way of defining the TCP Window size.
        
PSU-377 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.

================================================================================
Closed Issues in CA01982, CI01983, CL01984, CM01985, CN01986, CS01987

PSU-338 
Resolves a problem when CyberResp is not started from the CFROOT directory, 
internal commands like FUSUTIL and CFDIR fail.

PSU-333
Updates the socket buffer sizes to the TCP default.

PSU-319
Upgrade openssl to openssl-0.9.8zf.

PSU-236
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.

PSU-207
Resolves a problem where DataClass was always reported as N/A in Unix Log.txt.

PSU-175
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.

================================================================================
Closed Issues in CA01952, CS01953, CN01954, CI01955, CL01956, CM01957

PSU-217
MFT Platform Client requires the TLS protocol when initiating an SSL connection
to MFT Platform Server

PSU-216
Resolves a problem where the last character of the Remote File Name can be
truncated.

PSU-213
Allow the following values for the RetenPeriod_ExpDate (rp_ed) parameter:
        : Allow 1999/000
        : Change 99/000 to 1999000
        
PSU-208
Resolves a problem recovering from "Process Limit Reached - Try Again Later"
error after resource shortage.

PSU-197
Resolves a problem when transferring files with Unicode file names.

PSU-188
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.  
    
PSU-172
Added the following command line transfer parameters:
        : maintainbdw      mbdw                    { y, n }
        : maintainrdw      mrdw                    { y, n }
        The default value is n

Closed Issues in CA01937, CS01938, CN01939, CH01940, CI01941, CL01942, CM01943

PSU-183
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. 

PSU-180
Resolves a problem where the RetenPeriod_ExpDate (rp_ed) parameter did not
allow a date yyyy/ddd where ddd equals 000.

PSU-179
Resolves a problem where PPA commands were truncated when using double quotes
within the command.

PSU-178
Resolved an intermittent core dump when the MFT Command Center performed a Node
function to this Platform Server.  

PSU-176
Added trace messages to display DNS lookup information when the trace level is
set to Medium or High.

PSU-174
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 Resolves a problem where a cfdir or fusutil command fails when an 
installation path is too long.

Closed Issues in CL01909, CA01910, CS01911, CN01912, CH01913, CI01913, CM01915

PSU-149
Resolves a problem with directory transfers from JMS where the ?Wait for 
Transfer to Complete? finishes prematurely, after the first transfer completes. 

PSU-148
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.
        
PSU-147
Resolves a problem where a high volume of concurrent transfers may result in
duplicate transaction IDs.

PSU-146
Resolves a problem where the line feed delimiter value "LF" was not preserved
in the audit record.

PSU-145
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.

PSU-144
Resolves a problem where the byte count was reported as zero when a network 
error occurred.

PSU-143
Resolves a problem where the RetenPeriod_ExpDate (rp_ed) parameter is corrupted
when sending to z/OS.

PSU-141
Resolves a problem where the Platform Server starts but terminates when 
ECONNABORTED exception is received.  

PSU-128
Resolves an error when sending a zero byte file to z/OS as initiator or 
responder.

PSU-127
Updated the OpenSSL modules to version OpenSSL 0.9.8y-fips. Note, not 
included for the HP-UX RISC platform.

PSU-125
Improves transfer speed by increasing the size of the socket send and receive
buffers.

PSU-100
Increased the maximum User ID length from 20 to 64 bytes in the cfprofile, 
audit record and IS collector requests.

PSU-094
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.

1. Resolves a problem authenticating to a system configured to use shadow 
   passwords.
2. Resolves a problem where no Audit record was written when a Platform to 
   Platform transfer was submitted from MFT Command Center and an error occurred 
   as a result of invalid parameter settings.
3. Audit records for transfers containing a remote DomainName\UserId have been 
   updated to report the domain name.
4. Resolves a problem where Directory Transfer Summary audit record set the end
   time to the same value as the start time. 
5. Resolves a problem when using MFT Command Center to pull audit records for a
   specific transfer user, all records were for all users were being returned.
6. 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.
7. Updated Audit log entry to report BF_56 instead of BF_256 when encryption 
   type Blowfish is used.
8. 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.
