IT40791: IBM MQ Classes for JMS - Messages are not going to the backout queue after the backout threshold is hit.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Messages are not going to the backout queue after the backout
  threshold is reached. The IBM MQ classes for JMS appears to be
  receiving the error MQRC 2097 (MQRC_CONTEXT_HANDLE_ERROR) - It
  cannot put the message onto the backout queue nor the dead
  letter queue. Instead the message is just rolled back again.
  This occurs when durable JMS Subscriptions are used.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:

  defined.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Messages are not going to the backout queue after the backout
  threshold is reached. The IBM MQ classes for JMS appears to be
  receiving the error MQRC 2097 (MQRC_CONTEXT_HANDLE_ERROR) - It
  cannot put the message onto the backout queue nor the dead
  letter queue. Instead the message is just rolled back again.
  
  An FFST/FFDC is typically generated when encountering this
  behaviour, detailing reason code 2097.
  

Problem conclusion

• Context is now set correctly for an Asynchronous message
  consumer when initialised for a topic/subscription. This enables
  the message to be successfully moved to a defined backout queue.
