IC68582: MQEXPORT INCORRECTLY CALCULATES THE REQUIRED EXPIRY TIME FOR A RESPONSE MESSAGE

WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.2.0 Fix Pack 3 (6.2.0.3)
WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V7.0.0 Fix Pack 3 (7.0.0.3)
WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V7.0.0 Fix Pack 4 (7.0.0.4)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MQExport incorrectly calculates the required expiry time for the
  response message.  This results in some cases an incorrect
  expiry being used in the response message. The correct
  behaviour is that the expiry should be derived from the request
  expiry unless overriden in the MQ header context in the SMO in
  a mediation response flow.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus    *
  *                 or WebSphere Process Server v6.2 or v7 who   *
  *                 are using MQ Bindings with message           *
  *                 expiration.                                  *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The MQExport incorrectly calculates the *
  *                      required expiry time for the            *
  *                      response message. This results in       *
  *                      some cases in an incorrect              *
  *                      expiry being used in the response       *
  *                      message. The correct behaviour is       *
  *                      that the expiry should                  *
  *                      be derived from the request             *
  *                      expiry unless overriden in the MQ       *
  *                      header context in the SMO in            *
  *                      a mediation response flow.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: If you encounter this problem you are        *
  *                 advised to install the code change           *
  *                 associated with this APAR.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  When the user sets the Message Expiration Time explicitly
  using a simple MQ message with the MQExport, the
  required expiry time for the response message is incorrectly
  calculated.
