PI11902: WHEN FORMATTING A GTF TRACE, SOME GTF TRACE ENTRIES CAN RECEIVE:"QRPL VALIDATION CHECK FAILED"

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• The customer gathered a MQ GTF trace of a problem they were
  encountering. When they try to format out the GTF trace either
  using IPCS or a batch job, they is seeing "QRPL validation check
  failed" on some but not all trace entries.
  .
   The change team reviewed the trace and output and found that
  the 'QRPL validation check failed' is issued when the GTF trace
  formatter detects something wrong with the traced QRPL. In this
  case the problem is that there are some QRPL's from certain
  address space which are only xF0 bytes long, when the formatter
  is expecting x100 bytes.

  ****************************************************************
  When formatting a GTF trace, the message 'QRPL validation check
  failed' is produced for some entries.
  The formatter is expecting a length of x'100' bytes, but the
  failing entries are x'F0' in length. These are entries for a
  version 1 QRPL, so the length is valid.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• CSQ7FGTF has been altered to accept Version 1 and Version 2
