Error description
CICS is not correctly handling timeouts from MQ. All failures, including timeouts, are being treated as transport failures, resulting in the wrong SOAPFAULT text being returned to a client.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unhelpful message returned when MQ web * * service request times out. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An application program issues an EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE command when MQ is being used as the transport. The provider system does not respond within the timeout interval and DFHPITQ1 receives a MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE response. The SOAPFAULT message returned states that an internal server error occurred. This is not very helpful in diagnosing what has happened. Additional Keywords: msgDFHPI0110 DFHPI0110 MQGET
Problem conclusion
DFHPITQ1 has been altered to check for a return code of MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE on an MQGET. If it is received, then a new container, DFHMQTIMEOUT, is added to the pipeline channel. DFHPITQ then checks for the presence of this container. If it is present, then pitg_reason is set to pitg_timed_out. This results in the correct timeout message being sent and a TIMEDOUT response is returned by the EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE command.
