Dear All
Could you please tell me the steps of how to rectify this issue.

Issue:

1. While sending messages from AIX box to websphere MQ in zos junk data in being appended .
2. We can view this junk data in the cics application log file that is connected to the mq box.

3. Error Message
:-

RFH MQSTR _ ( ¦_ ¬ ( _ ¦_ ¬¢( ¬ |¬
? ¬ ¬¢( |¬ & ? _ _ % % ¦_ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8

Thanks & Regards

Is your CICS application expecting native MQ messages or JMS messages? This looks somewhat like the JAVA RFH2 which would be at the start (prepended, not apopended) of the message.

If this is JMS to non-JMS, you need to set the sending application's destinationTARGCLIENT property MQ.

Hope this helps,

Garry.

Hi Garry

Could you please tell me how to set the sending application's destination TARGCLIENT property MQ.

Findings:-
1. The message is being triggered from websphere appplication server. It then reaches the mq server(z/os) from where the cics application picks up the messages. In the cics logs the just data is getting displayed.

Have a look for TARGCLIENT in

Anotyher option might be to change the legacy application to allow for RFH2.
