IT17407: WHEN IBM MQ TOPICS HAVE DEFPSIST(YES) IIB MONITORING ARE STILL PUBLISHED AS NON PERSISTENT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A defect exists such that monitoring messages are published with
  MQPER_NOT_PERSISTENT rather than MQPER_PERSISTENCE_AS_TOPIC_DEF.
  This means that all monitoring messages are always published as
  non persistent, irrespective of the IBM MQ definitions.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus v10.0 attempting to publish
  persistent monitoring events.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  IBM Integration Bus monitoring event messages are published as
  non persistent by default.
  
  The IBM MQ documentation details how to configure MQ topics and
  subscriptions so that publications can be published as
  persistent, for example:
  
  DEFINE TOPIC(IIBMONITORING.TOPIC)
    TOPICSTR('$SYS/Broker/<brokerName>/Monitoring/<egName>')
    DEFPSIST(YES)
  
  DEFINE SUB(IIBMONITORING.SUB)
    TOPICSTR('$SYS/Broker/<brokerName>/Monitoring/<egName>/#')
    DEST(<destqueue>)
    DESTQMGR(<destqmgrname>)
  
  Note: The wildcard '#' can be used in the subscription TOPICSTR
  but NOT in the topic TOPICSTR.
  
  However, even with these definitions in place, monitoring
  publications from the named <egName> are still published as non
  persistent.
  

Problem conclusion

• Monitoring messages are now published with
  MQPER_PERSISTENCE_AS_TOPIC_DEF rather than MQPER_NOT_PERSISTENT
  by default. This means that if you choose to define the topics
  as persistent, the setting will be honoured.
