Error description
runmqras does not capture the QMstatus.ini, QM.ini and queue manager logs for multi instance queue managers that use a non default data directory.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of runmqras with multi instance queue managers, or queue managers created with the -md option Platforms affected: All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: When a queue manager is created with the -md option (for multi instance support), then the mqs.ini or equivalent registry contains a datapath value indicating where the qm.ini value is. This was not being used by runmqras, instead it was incorrectly defaulting the log and data paths. When it then tried to collect the error logs and other files, the paths it was attempting to use were invalid and hence this fails.
Problem conclusion
runmqras has been modified to correctly handle the scenario where there is a qm.ini file pointed to by a datapath as a result of it being created with a -md option. This results in the correct location being used to locate the files for that queue manager. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.1.8 -------- -------------------- Windows U200335 AIX U845856 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U847965 HP-UX (Itanium) U847970 Solaris (SPARC) U847966 Solaris (x86-64) U847972 iSeries 7.0.1.8 Linux (x86) U847967 Linux (x86-64) U847971 Linux (zSeries) U847968 Linux (Power) U847969 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
