IT23176: MQ Appliance web UI shows DR queue manager's status as 'unknown'if the queue manager has dot characters in its name

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a Disaster Recovery (DR) queue manager has dots in its name,
  for example:
  .
  AAA.BBB.CCC
  .
  then when viewing the DR status panel in the WebUI, the queue
  manager with dots in the name has status "Unknown". The status
  of the same queue manager is shown as "Running" when viewed
  using the mqcli.
  .
  For a DR queue manager with no dots in its name, the status in
  the WebUI is shown as "Normal" and as "Running" in the mqli.
  

Local fix

• Check the DR queue manager status using the mqcli:
  mqa(mqcli)# status QMgr_Name

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

  been modified to fix this issue.
