IC89770: DISPLAY CHSTATUS SHOWS 00000000 IN THE RVERSION FIELD WHEN APPLICATIONS USING THE V7.0.1 CLASSES FOR JMS ARE CONNECTED

WebSphere MQ V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.1.10
WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 for i5/OS Fix Pack 7.0.1.10

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An application using the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS is
  connected to a WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 queue manager using the
  CLIENT transport.
  
  When the runmqsc command:
  
  DISPLAY CHSTATUS(channel name)
  
  is run on the queue manager for the channel that the
  application has used to connect to the queue manager, the
  following output is displayed:
  
  RVERSION(00000000)
  RPRODUCT(MQJM)
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects two categories of user:
  
  1. Users of the WebSphere MQ command runmqsc who run:
  
  DISPLAY CHSTATUS(channel name)
  
  to display the status of a channel.
  
  2. Users of the WebSphere MQ Explorer who display the status of
  a Channel by highlighting a Channel in the Channels pane, right
  clicking and selecting Status->Channel Status... from the pop-
  up menu.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  Applications that connect to WebSphere MQ using the CLIENT
  transport provide version information to the queue manager
  about the level of WebSphere MQ Client code that the
  application is running. This version information is in the
  format:
  
  VVRRMMFF
  
  where:
  
  - VV = Version
  - RR = Release
  - MM = Maintenance level
  - FF = Fix level
  
  The runmqsc command:
  
  DISPLAY CHSTATUS(channel name)
  
  will report this version information in the RVERSION attribute.
  
  The WebSphere MQ Explorer shows the version information in the:
  
  Remote Version
  
  column in the Channel Status window.
  
  
  In order to determine the version information to pass to a
  queue manager, the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for Java and
  classes for JMS, and the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 Resource Adapter,
  looked inside the MANIFEST.MF file contained within the file:
  
  com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar
  
  for the property:
  
  version
  
  However, the MANIFEST.MF file did not contain an entry for this
  property. This caused the WebSphere MQ classes for Java and
  classes for JMS, and the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter,to
  specify:
  
  00000000
  
  as the version number being used.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for Java and classes for JMS,
  and the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 Resource Adapter, have been updated
  to use the information in the property:
  
  com.ibm.mq.jmqi
  
  within the MANIFEST.MF file contained within the JAR file:
  
  com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar
  
  to determine what version information to pass to the queue
  manager.
  
  Applications using the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter or Java
  and JMS clients which have this APAR applied will report
  their version information correctly to the queue manager,
  which will be reflected in the information returned by
  runmqsc and the MQ Explorer.
