PQ89876: MAPPING MQ REFERENCES TO RESOURCES USING ZOS VERSION 502 (W502008 Z/OS)

 A fix is available

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
There are serious usability issues when mapping MQ references to
resources.
..
The check box selection does not work correctly. When checking
the first box in the queue destination section, it checks the
destination entries and the connection factory entry in the next
section.
..
If you map the first queue destination, it also updates the JNDI
name for the second queue destination and the connection factory
JNDI name in the next section. Any attempt to change the JNDI
name for the second destination fails and reverts back to the
original selection.
..
This requires you to manually overtype the JNDI name for the
second destination to correct.
..
The resources displayed in the pull-down menu for both the
destination  and connection factory sections include entries for
both the destinations and the connection factory. I believe this
should only display the appropriate resources for each section.

****************************************************************
In the Administrative Console, there are several problems with
the Map Resource References to Resources task when working with
MQ resources (Queues, Queue Connection Factories, Topics, and
Topic Connection Factories).
1. Resources of all four types are shown in the dropdown list
   for each type.  Only resources of the specific resource type
   being processed (e.g. Queue) should be shown.
2. When the "all" box is checked for ONE type of MQ resource,
   all MQ resources of ALL FOUR types are selected.  Only the
   resources of the specific type for which the "all" box was
   checked should be selected.
3. The resource selected in the dropdown list for the last group
   of MQ resources on the page is mapped to all selected MQ
   resources of all types on the page.  Only the selected
   resources of the type to which the dropdown list applies
   should be mapped.
Problem conclusion
The code was not distinguishing between the various types of MQ
resources and was treating them as all equivalent.  The code has
been changed to handle each type separately.

APAR PQ89876 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502012 of
