Error description

  • WebSphere MQ FTE agent at 7.0.4.1 running on Linux RedHat, 64
    bit, using WebSphere MQ 7.1 as the agent's queue manager fails
    to start when using -trace option although the javalibrarypath
    property is correctly set to use the 32 bit WebSphere MQ java
    libraries in the agent.properties file. The exception is this:
    
    [23/05/2012 17:33:55:066 CEST] 00000001 RASImpl I BFGUT0001I:
    The trace specification has changed to "=all".
    [23/05/2012 17:33:55:632 CEST] 0000000b AgentRecovery E
    BFGAG0068E: The agent cannot establish a bindings mode
    connection to queue manager 'XXXX' and will now end. The agent
    cannot find a bindings library: CC=2;RC=2495;AMQ8568: The native
    JNI library 'mqjbnd' was not found. [3=mqjbnd]
    [23/05/2012 17:33:55:633 CEST] 00000001 AgentRuntime E
    BFGAG0061E: The agent ended abnormally.
    
    If the trace option is not used, the agent starts ok.
    

Local fix

  • Do not start or run trace.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All users of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version using
    a BINDINGS mode connection to a WebSphere MQ queue manager in
    a non-default install location.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    If the agent queue manager has been installed to a non-default
    location, the agent would fail to start with trace enabled
    with MQRC_MODULE_NOT_FOUND (MQRC 2495).
    
    This occurred because with trace enabled the native library
    information would be configured before the agent property
    files had successfully been loaded into the system. Because of
    this the code would wrongly believe the native library
    location had not been specified, and would default to the system
    default installation location.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code has been altered to ensure that the native library path
    information is not set until the agent property files have
    been loaded into the system. This allows the correct native
    library path information to be set, and the agent will start
    as normal.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
