Error description
The following message is observed when making binary mode transfers to or from an agent which uses a WebSphere MQ v6 z/OS queue manager as its agent queue manager: BFGIO0178E: A QUEUE WRITE FAILED DUE TO A WMQAPIEXCEPTION WITH MESSAGE TEXT CC=2 RC=2142 MQRC_HEADER_ERROR
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4 using agents which communicate with WebSphere MQ v6 z/OS queue managers. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: In binary mode transfers, messages places onto the WMQ queues of the agent queue manager which represent the bytes of the files being transferred incorrectly specified a CCSID of MQCCSI_UNDEFINED within the RFH2. WMQ documentation indicates that MQCCSI_UNDEFINED is not a valid value for the CCSID of an RFH2. The z/OS v6 queue manager checks this field to ensure it contains a valid value. Because MQCCSI_UNDEFINED is not valid MQRC_HEADER_ERROR is returned when the agent attempts to perform an MQPUT. This prevents the transfer from proceeding and the WMQFTE reason BFGIO0178E is given.
Problem conclusion
The code has been altered to use a value of MQCCSI_INHERIT for the CCSID within the RFH2 of the messages used for binary mode transfers. MQCCSI_INHERIT is a valid value, so it accepted by the queue manager and the transfer can complete normally. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Platform v7.0 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.0.4.3 Platform v7.5 -------- -------------------- Multiplatforms 7.5.0.1 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
