IT10912: WMQ 8.0.0.2: MISSING SYMLINK IN /USR/BIN FOR AMQMFSCK

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After issuing "setmqinst -i" command, the symlink for
  INSTALLDIR/amqmfsck was not created in /usr/bin.
  

Local fix

• A workaround is to add the following to the instinfo.tsk file
  (found in the MQ install directory):
  
  SymLink:
    Name=/usr/bin/amqmfsck
    Target=+MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH+/bin/amqmfsck
    Activity=PRIMARY
  
  Once this change has been made, the you should re-run the
  setmqinst -i command. The appropriate symlink should now
  be created.
  
  Alternatively use setmqenv to set your PATH correctly.
