Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * GH Tester and Rational Integration Tester users who are * * working with WebSphere MQ transports. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Tests that read messages from a MQ Queue using a 'Subscribe' * * test action can wait too long for a message, appearing to * * 'hang' for a longer time than the timeout that was * * configured on the test action. Following this extended * * delay, if a message does then arrive on the queue it can * * sometimes fail to be processed by the test action. The * * problem is intermittent, but particularly common when the * * queue in question has not been used earlier in the test. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * GH Tester users should upgrade to GH Tester 5.4.0.21 or * * above. Rational Integration Tester users should upgrade to * * Rational Integration Tester 8.0.1.3 or above. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
GH Tester 5.4.0.21 contains a fix for this issue. The same fix was included in Rational Integration Tester 8.0.1.3 and Rational Integration Tester 8.5.0.
