Error description
For IBM WebSphere MQ, the setmqaut command does not prevent OAM rules from being created where the profile name specified (-n) contains space or tab characters. . Both of the following succeed with spaces: . setmqaut -m Q1 -t q -n ' ' -g group1 +inq setmqaut -m Q1 -t q -n 'A B' -g group1 +inq . dmpmqaut piped to "cat -vte" shows the following output for the above (note that cat -vte displays the end of line as a $): . profile: $ object type: queue$ entity: group1$ entity type: group$ authority: inq$ - - - - - - - -$ profile: A$ object type: queue$ entity: group1$ entity type: group$ authority: inq$ . Note that for 'A B' the dmpmqaut output truncates the display at the space, and the above can NOT be removed by specifying just 'A', you must specify 'A B' for it to be removed. . Both of the following succeed with the TAB character: . setmqaut -m Q1 -t q -n '<tab>' -g group1 +inq setmqaut -m Q1 -t q -n 'A<tab>B' -g group1 +inq . dmpmqaut piped to "cat -vte" shows the following output for the above (note that cat -vte displays the TAB as ^I): . profile: ^I$ object type: queue$ entity: group1$ entity type: group$ authority: inq$ - - - - - - - -$ profile: A^IB$ object type: queue$ entity: group1$ entity type: group$ authority: inq$ . This is seen on MQ 7.5 and MQ 8.0. On MQ 7.0, an error is produced for each of the above: . Single Space: AMQ7085: Object , type q not found. AMQ7085: Object A B, type q not found. . Single Tab: AMQ7085: Object , type q not found. AMQ7085: Object A B, type q not found.
Local fix
If authority records with invalid profile names have been created then their full names can be displayed using the MQSC DIS AUTHREC command, and it is possible to remove them using the DELETE AUTHREC command.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of the setmqaut command may be affected by this problem Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The setmqaut command was incorrectly allowing the use of invalid characters such as spaces and tabs in the profile name parameter. Using the SET AUTHREC command with invalid characters will correctly result in an "AMQ8868: Profile name not valid." error message.
Problem conclusion
The code was corrected so that the profile name parameter can no longer contain invalid characters. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.5 7.5.0.7 v8.0 8.0.0.6 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
