IT43797: TIMEOUTNOTIFICATION NODE ALWAYS CREATES TRANSACTIONAL MESSAGE CONTEXTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The TimeoutNotification Node is currently creating an
  ImbMessageContext with the "Transactional" property set to true,
  which can cause problems for the Publication node as it relies
  on the Message Context in some cases in the absence of a
  "Transaction" attribute on the node.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All Users of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11 and v12 who use
  Publication Node with TimeoutNotification Node
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The TimeoutNotification Node currently creates Message Context
  with the "Transactional" property set to true. However, this can
  cause problems for the Publication Node as it relies on the
  Message Context in the absence of a "Transaction" attribute on
  the Node. For example, in most cases, the Transaction setting is
  picked up from MQMD. However, when the Transactional field on
  the MQMD header is NULL, the Publication node defaults to using
  whatever is in the Message Context.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Product has been modified and a New Environment Variable
  "MQSI_TIMERNODE_HONOR_TRANSACTIONAL_PROPERTY" has been
  introduced which if set to true makes the TimeoutNotification
  Node to create Message Context based on the Transaction Mode
  property specified on the Node. This enables the PublicationNode
  to take the appropriate value from the Message Context  instead
  of defaulting to always true.
