Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of MQ pub-sub who want to alter subscriptions
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  Altering the subscription user for a subscription object does
  not persist over queue manager restart. After an alter request
  completes successfully the display of the subscription shows the
  new changed value for the user however after a restart of the
  queue manager the display shows the old user value for the
  subscription.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed by ensuring that the latest data for the
  subscription user is stored after an alter request to a
  subscription object so that the new value persists over queue
  manager restart.
