JMS/MQRFH2 Message Properties in “other” Folder

January 17, 2020 Roger Lacroix

On StackOverflow, someone asked about having an “other” folder (not “usr”) with an MQRFH2 (aka JMS) message.

MQME Issue with ExcludeQueue keyword on an MQPUT1 API Call

December 9, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Late last week, a customer discovered an obscure issue in MQ Message Encryption (MQME) with the ExcludeQueue keyword on an MQPUT1 API call. I have since fixed it but here is what I mean by obscure: – If the user has wild-carded their protected queue setup i.e. ‘TEST.*’ – And then set the ExcludeQueue keyword […]
