IV78257: runmqtrm does not preserve message persistence flag when writing to the dead letter queue

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• WebSphere MQ utility program runmqtrm (Run MQ Trigger Monitor)
  determines that a message it reads from its input queue is not a
  correctly formatted trigger message. It sends the message to the
  queue manager's Dead Letter Queue, if one is defined.
  
  If the message was Persistent it could be put as a
  Non-Persistent message on the Dead Letter Queue.
  
  This was found when the user mistakenly ran runmqtrm against
  their application queue rather than an initiation queue (INITQ).
  

Local fix

• Ensure that runmqtrm is only run against a INITQ which will
  contain only validly-formed trigger messages.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of runmqtrm, where they might supply the wrong queue name
  via the -q switch on the command line.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  runmqtrm was not preserving various message descriptor fields
  when putting the Dead Letter Queue message.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product source code for runmqtrm has been corrected to
  preserve message descriptor fields when putting the Dead Letter
  Queue message.
