Troubleshooting
Problem
This issue is seen with the following fix packs on Windows systems:
- After removing IBM MQ Fix Pack 9.0.0.12 to return it to the 9.0.0.11 level.
- After removing IBM MQ Fix Pack 9.0.0.2 to return it to the 9.0.0.1 level.
In the IBM MQ Explorer log, the following exception is reported:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2017-09-28 12:14:38.616
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1 java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "com.ibm.mq.explorer.ui.rcp.RcpApplication" could not be found in the registry.

The log also contains lots of errors indicating that the required bundle com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient cannot be resolved. Here is an example of these errors:

Resolving The Problem
To resolve this issue, update the following file to include entries for all of the plugins required by IBM MQ Explorer:
<MQ_Installation_Path>\MQExplorer\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info
The entries to add to the file are as follows:
Fix Pack |
Entries to add to the bundles.info file |
9.0.0.11 |
com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient,9.0.0.11,plugins/com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient_9.0.0.11.jar,4,false |
9.0.0.1 |
com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient,9.0.0.1,plugins/com.ibm.mq.osgi.allclient_9.0.0.1.jar,4,false |
After updating the bundles.info file, restart IBM MQ Explorer.
