Error description

  • MQ client/server fails to get a message through an SSL/TLS
    channel with compression enabled
    The following error is reported on the client side:
        Probe Id          :- RM504002
        Component         :- rriDecompress

        rriDecompress
        xcsFFST
    

Local fix

  • Disable compression on the channel
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All the post- v8 client/server receiving messages from pre- v8
    client/server
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When using SSL/TLS clients earlier than MQ v8, a logic error
    meant that an incorrect maximum transmission size was negotiated
    between the client and server when using compression. This could
    cause the connection to fail, as insufficient space was
    available to store the decompressed data.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ queue manager has been modified to negotiate an
    appropriate maximum transmission size when dealing with clients
    using compression.
