The latest service level is known as the -> CSD05 <- set of PTFs.
You can verify your current service level by calling program MQVER
using command CALL QMQM/MQVER, or by viewing the build date which is
logged in WebSphere MQ FDC reports. For CSD05, this data is:
MQVER: Name: WebSphere MQ
MQVER: Version: 530.5 CSD05
MQVER: CMVC level: p530a-05-030929
MQVER: BuildType: IKAP - (Production)
FDC report: Build Date :- Sep 30 2003
A set of CSD PTFs comprises eight PTFs
- six for the *BASE install option (library QMQM)
- one for install option 1 (library QMQMSAMP)
- one for the WEBSPHERE MQ JAVA BASE for iSeries product (5639C34)
PTF SI10092 has been designated as the 'marker' PTF for CSD05.
Ordering SI10092 will deliver all seven PTFs in the CSD set for product
5724B4106. PTF SI10138 for 5639C3400 (WMQ JAVA) will need to be ordered
separately, if required.
For option *BASE - you must apply ALL six PTFs. Please use DSPPTF
to check that SI10119 is applied OK.
For option 1 - SI10120 will re-ship library QMQMSAMP (optional)
For WMQ JAVA - SI10138 MUST be applied as well as SI10092 if
both 5724B41 and 5639C34 products are installed.
For details of CSD requisites and CUM packages, please refer to
section "REQUISITE PTFs & CUM PACKAGES" below.
.....................................................................
BEFORE ... UPDATING your WebSphere MQ service level, you -> MUST <-
quiesce all Queue Manager activity. A suggested procedure is
included in the PTF Special Instructions.
.....................................................................
BEFORE ... APPLYING the latest set of PTFs, you -> MUST <- remove
any TESTFIXES which have been applied on top of the previous CSD.
.....................................................................
Users upgrading or installing WebSphere MQ, on a system with a
PRIMARY LANGUAGE for which there is no MQSeries National Language
Version ... PLEASE READ APAR SA96209 (applicable to both v5.2 & v5.3)
.....................................................................
If you are migrating an iSeries C++ application from a previous version
of WebSphere MQ, you -> MUST <- rebind your C++ application on v5.3

REQUISITE PTFs & CUM PACKAGES
-----------------------------
All the CSD05 PTFs are members of the V5R2 GA+7 CUM package.
A full list can be found on the internet at:
http://w3.rchland.ibm.com/projects/APAR-PTF/cum/C3364520.html
NEWS ITEMS
----------
* PTF SI07469 - especially for users of WebSphere Application Services
APAR SE08869 is essential for GA version of WebSphere Application Services
* Important action required for iSeries C++ applications
If you are migrating an iSeries C++ application from a previous version
of WebSphere MQ you will need to rebind your application on v5.3
This is because the order of the export list in service program
IMQS23I4 has been modified. If you do not rebind, then for some
function calls you may obtain the following MCH4433 exception:
Message ID . . . . . . . . . : MCH4433
Message file . . . . . . . . : QCPFMSG
Library . . . . . . . . . : QSYS
Message . . . . : Program import invalid.
Cause . . . . . : The calling program &1 references the item with
export id of &3 from service program &2. The calling program expects
the export type of this item to be &4. The actual export type of the
item is &5. The export type codes and their meanings are as follows:
0001 - an external procedure,
0002 - an external data item.
The service program has changed in an incompatible manner since the
time the calling program was created.
Technical description . . . . . . . . : Either recreate the calling
program or recreate the service program after checking the export
source for the following conditions. If the service program was created
with the LVLCHK(*NO) option then ensure that the order and export type
of exported items agrees with previous versions of the service program.
If the service program was created with one or more PGMLVL(*PREVIOUS)
sections, then ensure that the order and export type of items in each
section agree with those in the PGMLVL(*CURRENT) section.
This exception only applies to C++ applications on iSeries.
No action is required for C applications.
HIPER APARS LIST
----------------
None.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PTFs
----------------------------
3 Extra PTFs are available on top of CSD05 which will improve the performance
of STRMQM. These are
SI10703 (supersedes SI10081)
SI10704 (supersedes SI10084)
SI10705 (supersedes SI10087).
These can either be applied on top of CSD05 or togethor with the remaining CSD05
*BASE PTF's SI10083, SI10092, SI10119 and the samples PTF SI10120 to make up a
complete set of CSD05 PTF's.
Applying these PTFs will have the following effect on the information displayed
by program MQVER.
MQVER: Name: WebSphere MQ
MQVER: Version: 530.5 CSD05
MQVER: CMVC level: p530a-05-CSD5.1
MQVER: BuildType: IKAP - (Production)
The build date on any FDC's produced will report.
FDC report: Build Date :- Oct 20 2003
These PTF's ship fixes for the following APAR's
SE11690 - MQM400 STRMQM FAILS BECAUSE OF A LONG UNIT OF WORK THAT SPANS PAST CHECKPOINT
SE11691 - MQM400 STRMQM TAKES TIME
PTFs WITH ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------------------
None.
