FIX: MSMQ: MQSeries Bridge: ReplytoQmgr Names Containing Periods Are Not Changed to Hyphens on Bridge (301981)

SYMPTOMS

If the MQSeries queue manager name contains a period, applications on Message Queuing generate the following error if the response queue field that is created from the MQSeries MQMD Replytoqmgr is used:

The error log of the HIS Bridge show the error below. The name "xx.xxxxx.xx" should be "xx-xxxxx-xx"

Error : return code 0xc00e0003 (Queue not found or illegal queue nameurn code) 177 2228 2816 324 CQ2QQueuesCacheF::GetQueueForma q2qcache.cpp 05/31/2001 20:28:39:718 0x00000000

Failed to get the ReplyToQ (xx.xxxxx.xx\xx.REP.01701201.xxxxx.xx) format name from MSMQ 171 2228 2816 1278 CQ2QProxyS::Send q2qfalc.cpp 05/31/2001 20:28:39:718 0x00000000

In this error, xx.xxxxx.xx is the name of the MQSeries Queue manager.

CAUSE

In the following hotfix for the bridge in Microsoft SNA Server 4.0

259045 MSMQ_MQSeries Bridge: Translating Windows NT Machine Names That Contain Hyphens

the code to translate hyphens to periods, and periods to hyphens is included in the bridge that is included with Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000. This fix only dealt with the target computer (MQSeries queue manager) names. When an MQSeries program coded the Replytoqmgr field, it was not automatically translated.

The hotfix in this article implements automatic translation for any name in the Replytoqmgr field that contains periods so that the Message Queuing response queue property contains a name that replaces the periods with hyphens.
