Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of WebSphere MQ V7.1 on AIX, who have utilised the GSKit
  component of WebSphere MQ prior to the installation of the Fix
  Pack.
  
  Platforms affected:
  AIX
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When the GSKit component of the WebSphere MQ installation is
  used, including the use of the GSKit graphical user interface
  'IBM Key Management' tool, started through the WebSphere MQ
  command:
  
  /usr/mqm/bin/strmqikm
  
  libraries associated with the component are cached within the
  AIX memory space.  These libraries remain loaded even after
  the use of the GSKit component has finished, for example by
  closing the 'IBM Key Management' graphical tool.
  
  The consequence of this was that when the fix pack attempted
  to update the libraries associated with this component, either
  the GSKit libraries or JRE libraries associated with the
  graphical tool, the install scripts were unable to overwrite
  the files, causing the install to fail.
  
  When this occurred, the following error message was seen:
  
  tar: can't create <filename>: Text file busy.
  
  
  In order to circumvent this problem, the command:
  
  /usr/sbin/slibclean
  
  can be run prior to the installation of the fix pack.  This
  command instructs AIX to unload any cached libraries which are
  not in use, thereby circumventing the issue.
  
  This command needs to be run as a privileged user (such as
  'root') to be effective.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix pack installation scripts have been updated to clear
  the cached libraries prior to attempting to update the
  libraries, using the system command:
  
  /usr/sbin/slibclean
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
