This Fix Pack contains fixes for the following CRs based on customer-reported cases

 

Available as of Version

CR Number/APAR #

Description

2.8.1 CR71909/JR21894 If Supported  Business Objects list does not contain a BO that is defined in the static MO, NullPointerException was thrown during adapter startup. This problem is fixed in this CR.
2.8.1 CR62138/JR22461 In addition to previously supported Client mode (default), the adapter now provides support for Bindings mode.
2.8.1 CR71128(linked to CR60707)/JR21381 Fixed a problem in the WebSphere MQ adapter so that the adapter does not trim spaces from the correlationID in the MQMD header as this was causing incorrect correlation id problem in case of binary.
2.8.1 CR67384/JR22404 As per documentation, adapter should trace a message at trace level 1 when it detects event in the Input Destination and not for empty Input Destination. The code is fixed for the same.
2.8.1 CR71465 Support for the newer version of IBM WebSphere MQ Series 6.0
2.8.1 CR67516//JR22407 During adapter processing, it was observed that it accepts only CRUD, Exists and RetrieveByContent as verbs. This CR fixes the issue by allowing other custom verbs.

CR62138:

To use the feature incorporated with the enhancement, specify connector specific configuration property ConnectionMode as "Bindings" (case insensitive) and LocalQueueManagerName as appropriate.

To use the feature fixed with the update, users can send a message to the adapter with correlation id in the MQMD header set to n spaces. The adapter will now successfully process this message.


CR67384:

Check connector trace file messages by setting trace level 1 in connector configuration.


CR71465:
Support for the newer version of IBM WebSphere MQ Series 6.0
