Error description
When the "Max Data Bytes Displayed" field in the V7 MQ Explorer preferences is increased beyond 1024 bytes (say 2000 bytes) and a message with size greater than 1024 bytes is browsed, only 1024 bytes of message data gets displayed in the "Message Properties" window.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All WMQ V7 Explorer users Platforms affected: Linux (Power),Linux (s390x),Linux (x86),Linux (x86-64), Linux (zSeries),Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The value of "Max Data Bytes Displayed" field in explorer preferences was not being considered while browsing the message.
Problem conclusion
The WMQ V7 explorer code has been modified to take into account "Max Data Bytes Displayed" field in the MQ Explorer preferences while browsing the message from a queue. However, new limits have been set on "Max Data Bytes Displayed" and "Max Messages Browsed" fields as a precautionary measure to prevent performance related issues. Under this apar, the value of "Max Data Bytes Displayed" has been limited to 16384 bytes (default is 1000 bytes) and "Max Messages Browsed" has been limited to 5000 messages (default is 500 messages). Along with the above changes, the default message scheme has been updated to exclude Message data bytes. If users intend to have their own message schemes which contain the ' Message data bytes' property, then they should consider removing it if they are dealing with many large messages because it could cause performance implications. Moreover, the byte data can easily be displayed by looking at the message properties window. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.0.1 -------- -------------------- Windows U200301 Linux (x86) U821407 Linux (x86-64) U821295 Linux (zSeries) U821294 Linux (Power) U820881 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
