Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects the users of the IBM MQ classes for JMS.

These methods are intended to return the mode of operation that the JMS application is using as documented in the following Knowledge Center page: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.0.0/com.ibm .mq.con.doc/q123670_.htm

The Javadoc for the following three methods: - com.ibm.mq.jms.MQConnectionMetaData.getProviderMajorVersion() - com.ibm.mq.jms.MQConnectionMetaData.getProviderVersion() - com.ibm.mq.jms.MQConnectionMetaData.getProviderMinorVersion() have been updated to document that the values returned correspond to the mode of operation in which the MQ classes for JMS are running for the JMS Connection object to which they belong. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.0 CD 9.0.5 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.4 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
