Error description
When using the WebSphere MQ v7 classes for Java to put messages to a z/OS queue manager and using the MQMessage.writeBytes(String) method, the CCSID of the messages in the client is 0, causing the CCSID to be set at the queue manager end to 500.
Local fix
In the client app set the MQMessage.characterSet value prior to the PUT instead of allowing it to default to 0. For example: myMsg.characterSet = MQEnvironment.CCSID would set the MQMessage.characterSet to the platform default In this case Windows CCSID 819
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users putting messages remotely to a z/OS queue manager, but could also affect any system in which the queue manager has a different codepage to the client and where the message contains characters that are not part of the invariant ASCII codeset. Platforms affected: All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The algorithm in the MQMessage.writeBytes(String) method was changed between V6 and V7. In V6, the CCSID would default to 819, but this did not occur in the GA V7 code.
Problem conclusion
The MQMessage.writeBytes(String) method was changed to incorporate the same default behaviour as the V6 client. This means that the default CCSID of the MQMessage class will be set to 819 in all cases. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.1.0 -------- -------------------- Windows U200306 AIX U823774 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U823665 HP-UX (Itanium) U823667 Solaris (SPARC) U823772 Solaris (x86-64) U824344 iSeries tbc_p700_0_1_0 Linux (x86) U823664 Linux (x86-64) U823773 Linux (zSeries) U823668 Linux (Power) U823666 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
