IT16349: MQ Explorer does not display RFH2 properties when selecting showmessage properties as an MQRFH2 structure in message body

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It is possible to configure the MQ V9.0 Explorer to show message
  properties for browsed messages as an MQRFH2 structure in the
  message body. To do this, the following steps need to be carried
  out:
  
  - Select the Window->Preferences menu option to bring up the
  Preferences dialog.
  - Click on the Messages option in the left hand navigation pane.
  - Ensure that the Show message properties checkbox is selected,
  and click on the as an MQRFH2 structure in message body radio
  button.
  
  If the MQ Explorer has been configured to do this, however, no
  message properties will be displayed for messages that have been
  browsed.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of:
  
  - The MQ V9.0 Explorer
  
  who have configured the user interface to show message
  properties on browsed messages as an MQRFH2 structure in the
  message body.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows, Linux on x86-64, Linux on x86
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The MQ Explorer contains a "Message plugin", which is used to
  process and store any headers and data associated with messages
  that have been browsed by the user interface. Due to an error in
  this plugin, the header data associated with a browsed message
  was incorrectly cleared before it had been processed. As a
  result, it was not possible for the plugin to display message
  properties on a browsed message as an MQRFH2 structure in the
  message body.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Message plugin provided with the MQ V9 Explorer has been
  updated so that the headers on a browsed message are no longer
  cleared. This means that the plugin is able to access them and
  correctly show message properties on browsed messages as an
  MQRFH2 structure in the message body.
