Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of WebSphere Application Server Version 7 for whom either the Windows reg.exe command is restricted (anyone who must comply with Federal Desktop Core Computing policy) or unavailable (users of Windows 2000 Professional). Platforms affected: Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: As part of the application server startup on Windows, the WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter (shipped as part of WebSphere Application Server Version 7) runs the reg.exe command to find out which version of WebSphere MQ is installed. An IOException was thrown when this check was made by users for whom the reg.exe command was restricted or unavailable.
Problem conclusion
The check performed by reg.exe is purely informational, so it is not necessary to throw an exception if this cannot be done. The IOException is no longer thrown. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.0.1 -------- -------------------- Windows U200301 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'Websphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'Websphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
