Enable Modern Secured Checksum Alternative Algorithms In MFT Transfer Templates

We received a client security requirement during audit review to replace the configured MFT transfer templates which are currently using MD5 checksum with modern secured checksum alternative algorithms such as SHA-256 or SHA-512 instead. However, based on the following product documentation the MFT transfer templates available checksum algorithm is only the MD5 checksum.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.4.x?topic=reference-ftecreatetemplate-create-new-file-transfer-template#create_new_template_cmd__create_template_xmp

Accordingly, please check to consider MFT to enable the use of modern secured checksum alternative algorithms such as SHA-256 or SHA-512 instead of only the MD5 checksum.
