IV37165: WEBSPHERE MQ 7.1 MQMBUFMH IS RETURNING AN UNEXPECTED RC 2471 MQRC_PROPERTY_NOT_AVAILABLE

Fix Pack 7.1.0.4 for WebSphere MQ V7.1
WebSphere MQ V7.0 Fix Pack 7.0.1.12

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Testing the use of message handles and message properties.
  
  The customer executes the following sequence of API calls:
  
  MQGET --> MQCRTMH --> MQBUFMH --> MQINQMP (all properties are
  found) --> MQMHBUF fails (2471) MQRC_PROPERTY_NOT_AVAILABLE
  
  RC 2471 is unexpected in this case.
  
  This issue occurs when the input property name used to filter
  which properties are copied to buffer is encoded in a CCSID
  that is different from the CCSID of the properties in the
  message handle.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users that are using a property name encoded in one CCSID to
  filter which properties are copied into the buffer, where the
  CCSID encoding of the properties in the message handle is
  different from that of the filter property name.
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  Where the CCSID's differ, the unconverted property name was
  used to perform the filtering, resulting in the
  MQRC_PROPRTY_NOT_AVAILABLE return code.
  

Problem conclusion

• The converted property name is now used to perform the filtering
  on the properties to copy into the buffer.
