256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
When you try to send a message from IBM MQSeries to Microsoft BizTalk through BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries on a computer running the Chinese-language version of Microsoft Windows 2000, the operation fails, and the following error message appears in the event log:

A worker thread reported a failure: The parameter is incorrect.

The error code is stored in Data.

The operation was: IWorker->Work

The worker thread was working on:

Machine: nesd-zhao1

Queue Manager: MQS_QM

Transmission Queue: XMITQ1



CAUSE
This problem occurs because IBM MQSeries and BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries use different codepages. This difference prevents BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries from correctly converting the data.

Date         Time   Version   Size    File name 11-Feb-2002 17:18  1.0.45.1  34,304  MQHelper.dll 11-Feb-2002 17:18  1.0.45.1   7,168  MQhelperps.dll 11-Feb-2002 17.18  1.0.45.1  36,352  MTBWorker.dll 11-Feb-2002 17:18  1.0.45.1  20,480  SvcEvent.dll 11-Feb-2002 17:18  1.0.45.1  21,504  AICMQ.dll 11-Feb-2002 17:14  1.0.45.1  33,280  MTBSvc.exe This hotfix changes the way that the conversion-to-Unicode process is performed in the receive scenario. After you install the hotfix, you will be using the MQSeries conversion method. Under this method, the MQSeries function MQGET is responsible for handling data conversion to Unicode. You may want to stop the service, and then wait until the Dllhost.exe file has unloaded from processing before you apply the hotfix. If you do not do this, you will be prompted to restart your computer.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

This hotfix changes the conversion method to the default MQSeries conversion method. Additionally, this hotfix adds registry key values to override this conversion. If you add the DisableAutoConversionToUnicode [DWORD] value to the following registry key

and then set it to 1, the conversion does not occur and raw data is sent to BizTalk. The registry key is specified on the system that runs the receive component (for example, on the computer running BizTalk Server). In other words, this is generic registry key that you cannot specify on a per-job basis.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
