IC90364: DATAPOWER MQ BACKOUT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH ALIAS QUEUES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the MQ Front Side Handler is connected to an alias Queue
  instead of a local input Queue, the MQ Backout Settings
  from the connected Queue Manager is  not  retrieved as
  expected.
  
  The result is that a failed Message remains in the local
  input Queue and is not  transferred to the configured
  Backout Queue.
  

Local fix

• The workaround is to use a local input Queue instead of an alias
  input Queue.
  

Problem summary

• Customers who use Alias Queues and enable the "Retrieve
  Backout Settings"  property in the MQ Front Side Handler are
  likely to see this
  problem.
  
  MQ Backout did not work correctly if MQ Front Side Handler
  connects and retrieves the backout setting from an Alias Queue.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is available on 4.0.1.17, 4.0.2.13, and 5.0.0.8.
