APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The manual states "In Participate mode (default), messages are
  pulled off the queue."
  
  That quote comes from here:
  http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rtwhelp/v8r5m0/topic/com.ibm.r
  ational.rit.wmq.doc/topics/c_ritwmq_subscribe_to_msgs.html
  
  In testing we see that watch is the default in the software.
  
  Just create a new subscribe and attach it to an EMS Broker
  transport to see that the mode initially selected is "watch".
  

Local fix

• Change the mode from watch to participate each time a subscribe
  is created.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If the transport was set (or reset) on a Subscribe action,   *
  * then the Watch/Participate mode setting could be reset or    *
  * otherwise made inconsistent.    This could lead users to     *
  * believe that the defect settings were not as stated by the   *
  * documentation.                                               *

Problem conclusion

• This problem has been fixed in version 8.6.0.2 of Rational
  Integration Tester.  When a user sets (or re-sets) the transport
  on a Subscribe action the Watch/Participate mode now defaults
  correctly.
