Change mqsicreatebar command to include keywords.txt

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

You have a feature available to include a keywords.txt file to add comments to an application or library in a bar file that can be viewed in the IIB explorer when viewing the contents of an integration server. In order for the keywords.txt file to be included in the bar file, you must use the mqsipackagebar command as the mqsicreatebar command and the toolkit create process ignores the file since it ends in a .txt file extension. It would seem easy enough to do to include this file if it exists in the project when creating the bar file as you have specified it as an IIB object in your information center. The process to use the keywords.txt file today is very complicated and creates extra work to accomplish. We are trying to use the keywords.txt file to add the SVN version that was used to build the application so you can see which source code version is currently running in the production Integration Node in order to ensure that we have a stable environment.

    Idea / RFE Review. Further to the last review and comment, we note that the product continues to evolve in the right direction with regard to this functional area. The ibmint package bar command now allows the keywords.txt file to be added as a parameter. This improvement helps utilise keywords more easily as part of a pipeline, but we note doesn't help with the BAR build process in Toolkit. Status is maintained as Future Consideration.

    Thanks for raising this RFE. Glad to hear you were able to follow the documented instructions for mqsipackagebar, but we agree that improving the mqsicreatebar command to be sensitive to keywords.txt would be a great enhancement for the usability of the product. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
