IT26248: MQOUTPUT NODE SHOULD NOT REQUIRE THE REQUEST ATTRIBUTE TO BE SET TO PARTICIPATE IN A GROUP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the MQOutput node and the GroupScatter node, it is
  currently not possible to have the MQOutput node participate in
  the group without the "Request" attribute being set. This
  prevents the certain usage of the MQOutput node for group
  requests that do not fit into the standard MQ request format.

Local fix

• Do not set the "Add request to group" attribute on the MQOutput
  node, and instead use a Compute node or similar to set an
  Environment overrideto add the details of the MQOutput node's
  message as custom request for the GroupScatter node.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of the new Group nodes in IBM App Connect Enterprise
  v11 and IBM Integration Bus v10 who use the MQOutput node as a
  request method.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  In the initial release of the Group nodes, it was not possible
  to use the MQOutput node for a group request without also
  specifying that the MQ message was a request.
  

Problem conclusion

• The product now accepts the use of MQOutput nodes participating
  in a group but not setting the "Request" checkbox to true.
