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 […]
