CCSID

 

public static int

The CCSID used by the client. It does not apply when connecting directly to WebSphere MQ in bindings mode.

Changing this value affects the way that the queue manager you connect to translates information in the WebSphere MQ headers. All data in WebSphere MQ headers is drawn from the invariant part of the ASCII codeset, except for the data in the MQMessage.applicationIdData and MQMessage.putApplicationName fields.

If you avoid using characters from the variant part of the ASCII codeset for these two fields, then the CCSID can be changed from 819 to any other ASCII codeset.

If you change the client CCSID to be the same as that of the queue manager to which you are connecting, you gain a performance benefit at the queue manager because it does not attempt to translate the message headers.

The default value is 819.
