fte:uuid Ant task

Generates a pseudo-random unique identifier and assigns it to a given IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition property. For example, we can use this identifier to generate job names for other file transfer operations.

Note: IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition (FTE) is no longer a supported product. To migrate from FTE to the Managed File Transfer component in IBM MQ, see Migrating Managed File Transfer.
