Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users using MQ with TX Series
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The referenced check_target() function name was present within
    both TX series and MQ libraries that were currently loaded. This
    naming conflict within the application address space caused the
    call to fail with a SIGSEGV.
    

Problem conclusion

  • MQ code has been modified to resolve the naming conflict.
