APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When allocating space for queue manager backups on the MQ
    Appliance with the createbackupfs command, a syntax error is
    returned although the command is able to complete successfully.
    For example:
    
    mqa(mqcli)# createbackupfs -s 300
    (standard_in) 1: syntax error
    The createbackupfs command succeeded.
    

Local fix

  • Ignore syntax error as the backup storage is allocated
    successfully.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    MQ Appliance users who use createbackupfs command to allocate
    space for backup files.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    A logic error during the processing of the createbackupfs
    command meant that a syntax error was reported regardless of the
    command outcome.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The createbackupfs code has been modified to only report a
    syntax error when there is a genuine error in the arguments
    supplied to the command.
