APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A WebSphere MQ JMS client application which uses a client
  channel definition table (CCDT) may connect using an asterisk as
   the first character of the queue manager name, for example
  "*MY.QMGR".  However, any attempt to open a dynamic queue on the
   connection will fail with an exception like:
  
  ABC.JMSWMQ2008: Failed to open MQ queue
  'SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE'.:com.ibm.mq.MQException:
  JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2'
  ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2086' ('MQRC_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_Q_MGR')
  

Local fix

• This issue can be avoided by not using a CCDT or by not
  specifying an asterisk in the Queue Manager name.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS
  who are
  attempting to create a temporary
  dynamic queue on a connection generated from a CCDT, where the
  entry in the CCDT was selected as part of a queue manager group
  by using a '*' character in the queue manager name
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When the temporary queue was created, a model queue was opened
  on the queue manager, passing some options. One of these was the
  queue manager name. However, the queue manager name that was
  being passed was the queue manager group name set on the
  connection factory containing the '*' character
  rather than the actual name of the queue manager connected to.
  This is not a known queue manager name, hence the
  MQRC_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_Q_MGR
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebSphere MQ classes for JMS have been modified such that
  when the model queue is opened, the queue manager name passed to
  the queue manager in
  the open options structure is the resolved name of the queue
  manager, which is a
  known queue manager name.
