IC71200: UNEXPECTED VALUES RETURNED FROM MQTM2.GETVERSION() AND MQTM2.GETAPPLTYPE() CALLED FROM A WMQ JAVA APPLICATION.

WebSphere MQ V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.1.5
WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 for i5/OS Fix Pack 7.0.1.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a WebSphere MQ base Java application is passed the
  MQTM2 structure as an application argument and the application
  queries its properties like Version and Application Type, the
  MQTM2.getVersion() and MQTM2.getApplType()
  methods return unexpected values.
  
  For example, a hex dump of the Version field contains
  x'20202032' or character '   2'. The getVersion()method
  interprets this as an integer and returns 538976306.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ (WMQ) v7 classes
  for Java who attempt to query the Version and ApplType
  properties of a trigger message (MQTM2) from a WMQ Java
  application that is started by the trigger monitor in response
  to a trigger event.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When a WMQ Base Java application, which is started by a trigger
  monitor, queries the Version and ApplicationType trigger message
  properties using getVersion() and getApplType() methods,
  unexpected values are returned.
  

Problem conclusion

• The MQTM2 class which represents the Trigger Message, extended
  its structure from the MQTM class. However, the MQTM2 was not a
  simple continuation of MQTM - the data types of Version and
  ApplType were different (though they were of the same size).
  The MQTM2 class has now been rewritten to prevent the change in
  data types.
