Error description

  • An AMQP application connects to an MQ V8.0.0.5 queue manager
    using an instance of an AMQP channel, and subscribes to a topic
    hosted on that queue manager.
    
    A traditional MQ application publishes messages on the topic.
    The AMQP channel makes a copy of the message, and delivers it to
    the AMQP application. When the AMQP application reads the
    properties of the message it has received, it is unable to find
    the AMQP "message-id" property. As a result, it is unable to use
    the "message-id" as the correlation identifier for a
    request/response flow with a backend system.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects users of:
    
    - The IBM MQ V8 AMQP channel.
    - The IBM MQ V9 AMQP channel.
    
    who have AMQP clients that connect to a queue manager over an
    instance of the channel, subscribe to a topic hosted on the
    queue manager and receive copies of messages published by MQ
    applications on that topic.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When a message is published on an MQ topic, the AMQP channel
    receives multiple copies of that message - one for each AMQP
    client that has taken out a subscription on that topic. Each
    message is turned into an AMQP message before being sent to the
    relevant client.
    
    The topic:
    
      "Mapping IBM MQ fields onto AMQP fields (outgoing messages)"
    
    in the IBM MQ V8 and V9 sections of IBM Knowledge Center
    contains information about how properties on an MQ message are
    mapped to properties of AMQP messages that are sent to AMQP
    clients. This topic states that:
    
    - The AMQP property "message-id" will be set to a binary
    representation of the MQ message identifier (MQMD.MsgId).
    - The AMQP property "correlation-id" will be set to a binary
    representation of the MQ correlation identifier (MQMD.CorrelId),
    if the MQ message contained a correlation identifier.
    
    The AMQP channel did not implement this functionality. As a
    result, AMQP messages created from MQ messages that were sent to
    AMQP clients:
    
    - Did not have the AMQP "message-id" property set.
    - Did not have the AMQP property "correlation-id" property set,
    if the MQ message contained a correlation identifier.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ V8 and V9 AMQP channels have been updated so that when an
    AMQP message is created from an MQ message:
    
    - A binary representation of the MQ message identifier
    (MQMD.MsgId) is copied into the AMQP property "message-id".
    - A binary representation of the MQ correlation identifier
    (MQMD.CorrelId) is copied into the AMQP property
    "correlation-id", if the MQ message had a correlation
    identifier.
    
    This ensures that the AMQP properties "message-id" and
    "correlation-id" (if appropriate) are set on the AMQP messages
    sent to AMQP clients.
