• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are using the IBM WebSphere Exit on a queue manager running
  on
  a z/OS machine to record messages.
  If the local queue points to a remote queue, the remote queue
  name is used on the captured events.
  
  The events should be recorded under the local queue the messages
  were PUT onto.

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All users of Rational Integration Tester working with        *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * MQ/Z-Exit based Recording and Sift and Pass Through stubs    *
  * work correctly against remote queues running on z/OS MQ      *
  * queue managers. However, a bug existed which meant that the  *
  * recorded queue name shown in Recording Studio was  the       *
  * "remote queue" name from the queue definition, not the queue *
  * the message was being put to.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

• This problem was resolved in version 8.7.0.1 of Rational
  Integration Tester and the recorded queue name now shows the
  queue the message was being put to.
