Error description
After upgrading the distributed queue manager server to WebSphere MQ (WMQ) v7, the messages sent to the WMQ v7 z/OS queue manager are not converted. This prevents the messages from processing correctly. at v6 to z/OS v7: CCSID=500 Encoding=785 at v7 to z/OS v7: CCSID=437 Encoding=785 . Additional symptoms: CCSID 819 333 500 1F4 channel negotiation receiver sender channel CONVERT (YES) The message is sent from the Distributed queue manager in ascii and the message is put on the z/OS queue as ascii. The z/OS application is expecting ebcdic data. The data was not converted although CONVERT (YES) is specified on the Sender channel.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of WebSphere MQ with sender channels using CONVERSION=Y connected to z/OS queue managers. Platforms affected: All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: WebSphere MQ queue managers on Windows and Unix platforms with sender channels using CONVERSION=Y connected to z/OS queue managers incorrectly calculate the CCSID during channel to channel protocol handshaking. This error results in data conversion errors when sending to the z/OS queue manager.
Problem conclusion
The WebSphere MQ queue managers on Windows and Unix platforms have been modified to save and use the correct CCSID during channel to channel protocol handshaking. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.1.4 -------- -------------------- Windows U200323 AIX U835793 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U836458 HP-UX (Itanium) U836463 Solaris (SPARC) U836459 Solaris (x86-64) U836465 iSeries tbc_p700_0_1_4 Linux (x86) U836460 Linux (x86-64) U836464 Linux (zSeries) U836461 Linux (Power) U836462 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
