Error description

  • A simple MQ --> Peek job using longvarchar columns fails to read
    the correct data. The output in the Peek stage is:
    
    Peek_95,0:
    organisaatiorakenne:<<<CC_LER>>>WebSphereMQConnector<<<CC_LER>>>
    5.3<<<CC_LER>>>ccwsmq<<<CC_LER>>><<<CC_LER>>><?xml
    versi........(for another 64K+ characters)
    
    If the column type is changed to varchar, then the output
    correctly shows:
    
    Peek_95,0: organisaatiorakenne:asdfasdf
    

Local fix

  • Use varchar column type instead
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who use LONGVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR, or LONGVARBINARY in
    MQ Connector.
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    MQ Connector writes reference string of LONGVARCHAR column
    regardless of the setting of "Enable payload reference"
    property.
    
    ****************************************************************
    RECOMMENDATION:
    Install patch for this APAR.
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • When "Enable payload reference" is No, writes the contents of
    the LOB columns instead of reference string.
    

Temporary fix
