XFOR: Fixed Length File Sent from OV/VM Using SENDFILE is Corrupted

ID: Q177544

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

A fixed-format CMS file, which is uploaded to the host (not by the Linkage Connector) and then sent to a Microsoft Exchange user as an attachment using SENDMAIL via the Linkage OV/VM connector, is corrupted and unreadable by the Exchange user.


CAUSE

The length in bytes of the file was incorrectly being placed in the file being sent to the Exchange user. This was causing the OV/VM to Exchange transformation to render the file attachment unreadable.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Linkage Message Exchange, version 3.2.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
