IT34371: MQHEADER NODE WITH MODIFY MQMD HEADER PERSISTENCE OPTION SET TO INHERIT FROM HEADER WILL THROW BIP2595 IF DEPLOYED AS SOURCE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A message flow that contains an MQHeader node with the "MQMD
  Header Options" set to "Modify header" and the "Message
  Persistence" field set to "<Inherit from header>" will result
  in a BIP2595 exception at runtime if the message flow if the
  BAR file is not built with the "Compile and in-line resources"
  option.
  
  The specific exception that will be thrown
  is
  
  BIP2595E: Error casting character string '' <Inherit from
  header>'' to an integer. State = '-1' ''S22018''.
  
  The .msgflow
  or .subflow file will show that the MQHeader node has an
  mqmdPersistence field with value " <Inherit from header>".
  

Local fix

• Build the BAR file with the compile and in-line resources
  option set, or manually modify the mqmdPersistence field on the
  MQHeader node in the .msgflow or .subflow file to have the
  value "Inherit".
  

Problem summary

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A message flow that contains an MQHeader node with the "MQMD
  Header Options" set to "Modify header" and the "Message
  Persistence" field set to "<Inherit from header>" will result in
  a BIP2595 exception at runtime if the BAR file is not built with
  the "Compile and in-line resources" option.
  
  The specific exception that will be thrown is
  
  BIP2595E: Error casting character string '' <Inherit from
  header>'' to an integer. State = '-1' ''S22018''.
  
  The .msgflow or .subflow file will show that the MQHeader node
  has an mqmdPersistence field with value " <Inherit from
  header>".
  

Problem conclusion

• The MQHeader node now correctly handles .msgflow and .subflow
  files with the MQMD Persistence property set to "Inherit from
  header."
