PH54640: IBM DEVELOPER FOR Z V15.0.5 - RSED/DAEMON MESSAGE LISTENER DOESNOT TOLERATE UNEXPECTED FORMAT MESSAGE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z v15.0.5 users noticed that RSED/Daemon
  Message listener does not tolerate unexpected format message.
  When it receives such message, it will shutdown.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• RSE message listener expects the message from TSO SEND and user
  EXIT routine in standard format. Messages with unexpected format
   either from original sender or issue with TSO SEND, or  user
  EXIT, or backend message listener could choke up and shut down
  the RSE Java message listener.
  

Problem conclusion

• RSE message listener expect that TSO SEND and user EXIT
  construct message following a standard format. It works as
  expected when the original sender follows the valid syntax and
  rule of TSO SEND. In some conditions, such as when original
  message errors may escape the detection of TSO SEND and/or
  issues in user EXIT in constructing the forwarding message, or
  issue in RSE backend message listener, the message could arrive
  at RSE Java message listener in unexpected format.
  The RSE Java message listener has been modify to tolerate more
  with unexpected format message.
  

Temporary fix
