Error description

  • If you set the CCSID to 1200 either in the CHANNELS stanza of
    the mqclient.ini or via the equivalent app.config setting,
    connection to MQ fails with MQRC 2059 (MQRC_Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE)
    or 2540 (MQRC_UNKNOWN_CHANNEL_NAME) and the reason for this is
    not apparent.
    
    The connection failure (2059/2540) is caused by conversion
    failure.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who set CCSID to 1200 in CHANNEL stanza of mqclient.ini
    file.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When CCSID is set to 1200 in CHANNEL stanza of mqclient.ini and
    any C or .Net application is used then connection fails with
    2059(MQRC_QMGR_NOT_AVAILABLE) in .Net application and
    2540(MQRC_UNKNOWN_CHANNEL_NAME) in C application.
    
    The 1200 CCSID is not supported for internal Queue Manager
    communication, since UTF-16 and UTF-32 is not supported.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ client code has been updated so that an error is reported
    if anything other than a valid single byte CCSID is specified in
    the mqclient.ini.
    If anything other than a valid single byte CCSID is used, then
    connection would end with 2539(MQRC_CHANNEL_CONFIG_ERROR).
