APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The manual states "In Participate mode (default), messages are pulled off the queue." That quote comes from here: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rtwhelp/v8r5m0/topic/com.ibm.r ational.rit.wmq.doc/topics/c_ritwmq_subscribe_to_msgs.html In testing we see that watch is the default in the software. Just create a new subscribe and attach it to an EMS Broker transport to see that the mode initially selected is "watch".
Local fix
Change the mode from watch to participate each time a subscribe is created.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of Rational Integration Tester * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * If the transport was set (or reset) on a Subscribe action, * * then the Watch/Participate mode setting could be reset or * * otherwise made inconsistent. This could lead users to * * believe that the defect settings were not as stated by the * * documentation. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
This problem has been fixed in version 8.6.0.2 of Rational Integration Tester. When a user sets (or re-sets) the transport on a Subscribe action the Watch/Participate mode now defaults correctly.
