Closed as program error.
Error description
If a JMS topic for an MQ provider has no configured description then the destDescription parameter is not normally added to MQ Headers. If unrelated changes are made to the JMS Topic configuration using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, this results in the destDescription parameter, with an empty value, being added to the MQ Header in subsequent requests.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of MQ * * Topics * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After updating the configuration of a * * JMS Topic, the destDescription * * parameter may be erroneously set in * * the MQ Header * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If the description of a JMS Topic for an MQ provider is not specified then the destDescription parameter is not set in the MQ header on requests. When performing unrelated configuration changes for the JMS Topic, the admin task erroneously updated the description from null to an empty String. This resulted in the destDescription parameter being set in the MQ Header.
Problem conclusion
The admin task for editing a JMS Topic for an MQ JMS provider was modified to maintain an existing null value for an unspecifed description and not to update it to an empty String. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.8.
