Error description
When WebSphere MQ tries to convert Unicode messages exchanged with the remote system it writes message "AMQ6047: Conversion not supported." to its error logs. The explanation reads, "WebSphere MQ is unable to convert string data tagged in CCSID 1208 to CCSID 437". On your system you may see different CCSID numbers like 037, 437, 500, or 1200.
Local fix
WebSphere MQ relies on the AIX base operating system to perform data conversion on its behalf. In order to support Unicode conversion AIX provides several optional filesets: bos.iconv.ucs.com Unicode converters for AIX sets bos.iconv.ucs.ebcdic Unicode converters for EBCDIC sets bos.iconv.ucs.pc Unicode converters for PC sets You should install these filesets from the AIX operating system installation media if you need to convert data to and from Unicode on your system.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Customers wanting to convert messages to Unicode CCSIDs on AIX. Platforms affected: AIX **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The AIX converter between Unicode and the other character set is not installed on your system.
Problem conclusion
WebSphere MQ relies on the AIX base operating system to perform data conversion on its behalf. In order to support Unicode conversion AIX provides several optional filesets: bos.iconv.ucs.com Unicode converters for AIX sets bos.iconv.ucs.ebcdic Unicode converters for EBCDIC sets bos.iconv.ucs.pc Unicode converters for PC sets You should install these filesets from the AIX operating system installation media if you need to convert data to and from Unicode on your system. The AIX installation instructions in the WebSphere MQ Information Center will be updated to document that these filesets should be installed if Unicode conversion will be performed. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.1.9 -------- -------------------- AIX U849391 v7.1 Platform Fix Pack 7.1.0.2 -------- -------------------- AIX 7.1.0.2 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
