APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On WAS 9 the channel in the z/OS QMGR can be started, if there
  are no messages in the z/OS queue. But when messages will be put
  into the queue they will be moved to the transmission queue and
  the channel changes to "retry".
  
  The Error message is:
  PersistentDataEncodingException: CWSIP0262E: The current message
   is
  corrupt and can not be added to the persistent store due to
  exception
  com.ibm.ws.sib.mfp.MessageEncodeFailedException:
  com.ibm.ws.sib.mfp.jmf.
  JMFUninitializedAccessException: deliveryDelay
  ...
  Caused by: com.ibm.ws.sib.mfp.MessageEncodeFailedException:
  com.ibm.ws.

          at
  com.ibm.ws.sib.mfp.impl.JsMsgObject.encodePart(JsMsgObject.
  java:1382)
  
  
  This is related to the fact that a value for the deliveryDelay
  property is only set during a SIB send operation, which
  effectively does not occur when a message is received through
  the MQLink and then converted into SIB message format.
  
  While testing this locally, it turns out there is a similar
  issue with the jmsDeliveryTime property (another JMS property
  that was introduced as part of JMS2.0), and this was being
  obscured by the deliveryDelay problem being encountered first.
  
  This iFix will fix the problem for both properties.

  MQ Messages being sent via MQLink to a V9 SIBus destination
  might stay on the MQ transmission queue with the channel
  remaining in "retry" state.
  The application server log might show an exception similar to:
  PersistentDataEncodingException: CWSIP0262E: The current
  message
  is
  corrupt and can not be added to the persistent store due to
  exception
  com.ibm.ws.sib.mfp.MessageEncodeFailedException:
