JR35747: CORRELATION ID IS SET TO AN EMPTY STRING WHEN THE MQ CONNECTOR ROW BUFFER COUNT IS SET AND MESSAGE OPTIONS ARE SET TO "Y"

Download Fix Pack 2 for InfoSphere Information Server Version 8.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• We have setup a simple job utilizing the WebSphere MQ
  Connector that extracts multiple records from a source queue,
  maps the source Message ID to the Correlation ID using a
  Tranformer stage and writes the data to a target queue
  successfully.
  
  However, when we set Message options to "Y" and
  Row buffer count to a value like 10 we end up with a blank value
  for the Correlation ID.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  MQ connector user setting Row Buffer Count property
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When users set row buffer count property on the target MQ
  connector stage greater than 1 or -1 to concatenate the input
  records, the message header fields are not correctly populated
  even if they are on the table definition with correct data
  element.
  
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Apply the patch
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• This is a program error in the code handling row buffer count.
  It's fixed so that the first record header fields are correctly
  kept and used until the concatenation completes and the prepared
  message is sent to MQ.
  

Temporary fix
