APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When using the mqrc utility to convert the error logs from JSON to TEXT or from TEXT to JSON, the timestamp is modified. The expectation is that the timestamp should not be modified. For example run the mqrc command (mqrc -i json -o text) to convert JSON logs to TEXT. The JSON log timestamp is "T13:47". JSON: "ibm_datetime":"2020-08-28T13:47:48.514Z" Whereas the TEXT log timestamp has been modified to "T21:47" TEXT: Time(2020-08-28T21:47:48.514Z) The timestamp is also incorrectly modified while converting from TEXT to JSON (mqrc -o json -i text).
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of MQ 9.1 who are converting error log records between text and JSON formats. Platforms affected: Linux on x86, Linux on x86-64, Linux on S390, Linux on Power, Linux on zSeries **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A logic error within the mqrc utility caused the "text-to-json" or "json-to-text" conversion function to incorrectly modify the timestamp value contained within the error log entries being converted.
Problem conclusion
The MQ code is modified such that the MQRC command does not modify the timestamp when performing conversion between text and JSON error log formats. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.8 v9.x CD 9.1.2 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
