IT19992: The IBM MQ amqoamd utility reports incorrect authorizations for profiles of type rqmname.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When authorizations are properly set for a profile type of
  rqmname, the amqoamd utility reports no MQ authorization
  (None).
  However, the dmpmqaut command reports the correct MQ
  authorizations given.  For example:
  .
  If this setmqaut command is issued:
  
   setmqaut -m QMgrName -n RemoteQMgrName -t rqmname -g
  group_name +put +setall
  
  The "amqoamd -m QMgrName" command reports:
  
    ObjectType:  QMgrName
    ObjectName:  RemoteQMgrName
      User name:   group_name@hostname
      Authorities: None (0x00000208)
  
  The "dmpmquat -m QMgrName" command reports:
  
   profile:     QMgrName
   object type: rqmname
   entity:      group_name@hostname
   entity type: group
   authority:   put setall
  

Local fix

• Use the dmpmquat command to verify authorizations for "rqmname"
  profile types.
  If the amqoamd utility is being used to dump the MQ
  authorizations to a file, you have two options:
  
  1. Manually modify the setmqaut commands for "rqmname" profiles
  in the file output.
  
  2. Use the dmpmqcfg utility to dump the MQ authorizations to a
  file.  For example:
  
   dmpmqcfg -m QMgrName -x authrec -o setmqaut >
  /tmp/file_name.out
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of the amqoamd command who wish to display authority
  records with
  an object type of remote queue manager name are affected by this
  issue.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A logic error in the code for amqoamd meant that the authority
  flags
  for records with an object type of remote queue manager name
  were not
  displayed correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified so that authority flags for the
  remote queue manager name are correctly displayed when the
  amqoamd
  program is run.
