Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ (WMQ) Explorer v7
  in a language other than English, who wish to administer a WMQ
  v6 broker.
  
  Platforms affected:
  Linux (x86),Linux (x86-64),Windows
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  In order to deregister a subscriber, the WMQ Explorer performs
  a check  on the MQREGO_VARIABLE_USER_ID parameter of the
  subscription,  in order to determine the correct deregister
  command to issue  to the broker. This property is an
  enumeration of [YES|NO].
  
  When running in a language other than English, the WMQ Explorer
  was incorrectly comparing the translated display string for the
  property, rather than the underlying enumeration value. This
  meant there was no match and the result defaulted to NO,
  causing the wrong deregister command to be issued when
  attempting to deregister a subscriber with a variable user ID,
  resulting in the operation failing.
  

Problem conclusion

• The deregister routine now converts the display strings to the
  correct enumeration value before performing the comparison.
