Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere MQ for z/OS Version 7 * * Release 0 Modification 1 and Version 7 * * Release 1 Modification 0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Internal changes. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The MQ pricing announcement on 22 April 2014 makes the MQ Client Attachment Feature zero charge. This APAR provides an alternative to installing the Client Attachment Feature by removing the 5 channel limit and restriction on channel names for V7 queue managers. After applying this APAR, systems without the Client Attachment Feature installed will support clients. You should review your existing SVRCONN channel definitions (particularly SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN) and CHLAUTH rules to control how these are used.
