IZ86335: WEBSPHERE MQ V7 JMS APPLICATION ERROR. JAVAX.JMS.JMSEXCEPTION: MQJMS1006: INVALID VALUE FOR 'JMS_IBM_CHARACTER_SET':ISO-8859-1

WebSphere MQ V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.1.5
WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 for i5/OS Fix Pack 7.0.1.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is an issue within the WebSphere MQ v7 classes
  for JMS messaging provider migration mode, whereby string
  representations of character sets, such as ISO-8859-1, are not
  recognised and an exception similar to the following is
  reported:
  
  javax.jms.JMSException: MQJMS1006: invalid value for
  'JMS_IBM_Character_Set': 'ISO-8859-1'.
  
  The exception is reported when sending messages, and may be due
  to an incoming JMS message having a JMS_IBM_Character_Set value
  that is not recognised as valid during the send.
  
  JMS messages received in a JMSExport or MQJMSExport (connected
  to a WebSphere MQ V7 Queue Manager) will contain this property
  and will use non-numeric values like "UTF-8" or 'ISO-8859-1'.
  JMS properties in JMS messages received at the Export are
  propagated by default from the Export through the module to the
  Import.  Therefore, in cases where an MQJMSExport or JMSExport
  are connected via other components to a MQJMSImport connected
  to a WebSphere MQ v6 Queue Manager, this problem may occur.
  .
  Additional Information:
  A base level Java 7.1.0 client received a similar symptom:
   MQJMS1006: invalid value for'JMS_IBM_Character_Set': 'IBM037'
  when SHARECNV=0 for the SVRCONN channel.
  .
  Internal defect 158740, included in Fix Pack 7.1.0.2, resolved
  it.  A circumvention was to use a non-zero value for SHARECNV.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ v7 classes for Java
  Message Service (JMS) in messaging provider migration mode when
  sending messages with string values present in the
  JMS_IBM_Character_Set message property.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The WebSphere MQ classes for JMS were unable to map between some
  string representations of character sets to WebSphere MQ CCSID
  values, when used in messaging provider migration mode.
  

Problem conclusion

• The character set mapping algorithm in the WebSphere MQ classes
  for JMS messaging provider migration mode has been updated to
  interpret more character sets.
