APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When using MQ 7.5 or MQ 8.0 dmpmqcfg, the resulting output does not have long selectors that have more than 2048 characters split into smaller segments of 2048 characters or less. This results on a runtime problem with runmqsc when providing the output of dmpmqcfg as input: AMQ8405: Syntax error detected at or near end of command segment below:- DEFINE SUB('SUB1') SELECTOR(' AMQ8427: Valid syntax for the MQSC command
Local fix
The lines in runmqsc commands should be split into segments of 2048 or fewer characters including leading and trailing spaces but excluding the continuation char +. For example: DEFINE SUB('SUB1') + SELECTOR('This is a long selector, need to break it + into smaller segments')
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users with administrative subscriptions where either the TOPICSTR or the SELECTOR is so long as to require a runmqsc definition to be split into two lines, and where the subscriptions are listed in runmqsc output using dmpmqcfg. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Long lines of more than 2048 characters in runmqsc output for the TOPICSTR and SELECTOR attributes of a subscription in dmpmqcfg were not split over two lines, causing the output to be invalid when passed to runmqsc as input.
Problem conclusion
The dmpmqcfg utility has been updated to split the runmqsc output from dmpmqcfg for the attributes to be valid for input --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.5 7.5.0.7 v8.0 8.0.0.6 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
