APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Probe PU522020 may be generated during broker startup or a
  Probe PU522010 or SIGSEGV will be generated during
  publish/subscribe.
  

Local fix

• 1)  Until we provide a fix, please remove   iseries qmgr from
  other linux qmgr machines from the broker topology
  2)   Remove the messages from
  'SYSTEM.BROKER.INTER.BROKER.COMMUNICATIONS' with correlid prefix
   C1D4D8E8)
  3) issue clrmqbrk
  .
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users running broker in a mixed OS environment where the
  character set of one OS differs from other. The operating
  systems like AS400 uses EBCDIC whereas UNIX/LINUX/WINDOWS uses
  ASCII character set.
  
  Platforms affected:
   All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  1. The pub/sub broker fails to start when different types of
  control messages(ASCII AND EBCDIC) are exchanged between
  brokers. This problem occurs when the broker receives control
  message in non-native character set. Operating systems like
  AS400 use EBCDIC whereas UNIX/LINUX/WINDOWS use the ASCII
  character set. Typically Probe PU522020 will be generated for
  this problem.
  
  2. When an AS400 broker extracts the request type from the
  control message, the request might be converted to an invalid
  value. Typically Probe PU522010 or SIGSEGV will be generated
  for this problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. Control message processing has been modified to support
  both ASCII and EBCDIC control messages.
  2. Appropriate code changes have been made to correct the
  invalid request type or the SIGSEGV.
