Message descriptor extension (MQMDE)

 

When the listener program (amqcrsta, for example) is started by INETD it inherits the locale from INETD. It is possible that the MQMDE will not be honored and will be placed on the queue as message data.

To ensure that the MQMDE is honored (merged) the locale must be set correctly. The locale set by INETD may not match that chosen for other locales used by WebSphere MQ processes.

To set the locale, create a shell script which sets the locale environment variables LANG, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, and LC_MESSAGES to the locale used for other WebSphere MQ processes. In the same shell script call the listener program. Modify the inetd.conf file to call your shell script in place of the listener program.
