Building MQMD header in compute node of IBM message broker

Question

I'm having trouble trying to add MQMD header in compute node. Tried something like that:

SET OutputRoot.Properties = InputRoot.Properties;
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot DOMAIN('MQMD') NAME 'MQMD';
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.Format =  MQFMT_NONE; 
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.CodedCharSetId = 1208;
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.Encoding = 546;

But it always ends up with this exception:

Text:CHARACTER:Caught exception and rethrowing
Insert
Type:INTEGER:14
Text:CHARACTER:test.MyAdp.AddHeader
RecoverableException
File:CHARACTER:F:\build\slot1\S900_P\src\CommonServices\ImbValue.cpp
Line:INTEGER:989
Function:CHARACTER:ImbValue::stateError
Type:CHARACTER:
Name:CHARACTER:
Label:CHARACTER:
Catalog:CHARACTER:BIPmsgs
Severity:INTEGER:3
Number:INTEGER:2329
Text:CHARACTER:Value not valid

For sure, without adding MQMD header everything works perfectly well. I tried to use other formats as MQFMT_STRING, MQFMT_RF_HEADER_2 (with MQRFH2 header added next) but with the same result.

Can anyone give me any clue? Is it possible to get some more meaningful diagnostics from broker somehow?

UPD Here is trace out before entering Compute node which tries to add MQMD header. The trace node after Compute is never reached.

UPD2 Here is fragment of user trace, message appears in try-catch node right after returning from compute node that creates MQMD.

There is not enough detail given to tell what is happening. What version of MB/IIB are you using?

You might be hitting the problem described here.

With that in mind, try changing your ESQL to:

SET OutputRoot.Properties.CodedCharSetId = 1208 ;
SET OutputRoot.Properties.Encoding = 546 ;
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.Format = MQMFT_NONE ;
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.CodedCharSetId = 1208 ;
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.Encoding = 546 ;
...
