FT Unix Agent with relative path stop working with Unable to convert filename

Issue/Introduction

JOBF from Unix agent to Unix agent fails in case the source path is a relative path in case the agent is upgraded to 21.0.13 or superior.

For my reproduction the source path is set to uc4/watsup_*.json

:SET &FT_SRC_FILE#            = "uc4/watsup_*.json"

 

The issue seems to be related to the fact than an extra /4/ is added to the source path wrongly...

U00063069 Unable to convert filename, mask 'uc4/4/watsup_*.json' does not match with filename './uc4/watsup_1.json'.

As a result, the filetransfer from 21.0.13 linux agent to 21.0.13 linux agent fails.

The same transfer with the agents downgraded to 21.0.12 works fine.

Environment

Agent Unix 21.0.13, 21.0.14 or 24.4.0 and superior.

Cause

DE171751
