Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All XMS.NET applications using bindings file created using
  Initial context to connect to IBM MQ Queue manager and setting
  Reconnection timeout property
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If bindings file is used along with XMS .NET applications and
  reconnection timeout is set while creating Initial
  context,XMS.NET applications fail to honor the reconnection
  timeout property.
  

Problem conclusion

• Reconnection timeout property set while creating Initial context
  should be considered by XMS .NET applications in Managed
  mode.Reconnect timeout property which is set while creating
  Initial Context applies only to Managed mode.
  
  For Unmanaged mode mqclient.ini file has to be
  used.MQReconnectTimeout property has to be set in mqclient.ini.
