Error description

• Set up recording in RIT (on Windows) to use an operation
  definition against an IBM MQ Operation to two local queues on an
  AIX MQ server.  Post an MQMT_REQUEST to the input queue and have
  an application of stub process that and post an MQMT_RESPONSE to
  the reply queue.  Record this operation using dynamic queue
  recording.  Both message are recorded.
  
  However if an alias queue is set up to send messages to the same
  input queue and the same operation used to record, then when an
  MQMT_REQUEST is sent to the alias queue and hence on-wards to
  the input queue the Exit fails to pick up the incoming message
  and only the reply message will be recorded.
