Error description
An IBM MQ v8 Queue Manager is used to generate a CCDT file, which is then shared with a v7.1 WebSphere MQ Client. The application using the v7.1 WebSphere MQ Client is unable to connect to the queue manager using this CCDT file.
Local fix
Generate the CCDT on a queue manager major version (version and release) which is less than or equal to the version of the IBM MQ Client code.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of pre-v8 clients who use CCDT files generated on a v8 queue manager Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IBM support for using CCDT files on older client levels is documented at this link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21312967 The compatibility restrictions were such that a newer CCDT cannot be used on an older client even if the older client was not making use of the attributes that were added in the newer version of the product.
Problem conclusion
This APAR change relaxes the restriction by allowing newer CCDTs to be used on older clients but with the caveat that the older client cannot make use of any of the newer channel attributes. These attributes will assume their default values when the CCDT is negotiated with the queue manager. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.1 7.1.0.9 v7.5 7.5.0.7 v8.0 8.0.0.3 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
