Hi Joan, 1- The persistence of the message is either set explicitly by the PUTting program or the deafult is taken. The intial value of MQMD.Persistence is MQPER_PERSISTENCE_AS_Q_DEF (which is 2). It is possible for the developer to inadvertently set this field to something else before the PUT. I would check to see how this field is set in the program.
2- Once the persistence of the message is set (explicitly by the program or defaulting to Queue definition) during the PUT, it will NOT change regardless of how many queues/qmgrs it will go thru and the persistence of these queues, UNLESS it is intercepted by another app (like WMQI or an exit) and the persistence is modified by that process. Is there another app (exit etc.) that modifies the message? I would also try putting a message to the queue, stop the channel and examine the message on the xmit queue to verify the persistence of the message before it is transmitted to the other side.
