RE: Possible issue with PTF SI55522 -- MIDRANGE-L

David / Kirk,

Here's IBM's recommendation for Logging Success or Failure in OpenSSH Batch Mode File Transfers.

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1018799

I tested this, works fine.
I tried coding for RC years ago, was not successful, I did not have the specifics below..
I'm still waiting for an update from IBM, I don't want to revisit every OpenSSH touch point.

QSH CMD(&CM3)
RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*COMP) RMV(*NO) MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) MSGID(&MSGID)
IF (&MSGID *EQ 'QSH0005') +
CHGVAR &RC %BIN(&MSGDTA)
IF (&RC *EQ 0) THEN(DO)
SNDMSG MSG('The file transfer completed successfully.') TOUSR(user_profile)
ENDDO
IF (&RC *GE 1) THEN(DO)
SNDMSG MSG('The file transfer failed') TOUSR(user_profile)
ENDDO
ENDPGM

I applied SI55522 to a test LPAR.
Ran a SFTP test, test LPAR being the client.
The "Uploading" line no longer appears.
In order to check for successful transfers, I will need to 1)Turn debug logging on
2) Add logic to the SFTP logging program to also check for "Transferred"

Any other thoughts???

Kirk,

I can clarify this for you as I work at Townsend Security. The email that went out was not properly worded, the issue is not a problem with the functionality of version 6.6p1 of OpenSSH, the issue is with how our own application interacts with that version. There was a small change made that causes our application to report errors for SSH sFTP transfers even when they're successful. We do not want to discourage anyone from applying PTF SI55522, or more appropriately PTF SI55602 which supersedes it. We would just ask you to hold off until we have a fix for this available. We should have this fix soon and we will let customers know once it's available. You can contact our support site for details.
