Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of the dmpmqcfg command may be affected by the changes
  made under this APAR
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  This APAR adds functionality to the dmpmqcfg command and also
  fixes some existing defects.
  
  Here is an overview of what has changed:
  
  1. It is now possible to dump the profile for an object that
  does not exist but has an authority defined via setmqaut. For
  example:
  
  Define an authority profile for an object that does not exist in
  the system:
  
  setmqaut -m QMGR -t queue -n Q.NOT.YET.DEFINED -p username +put
  +get
  
  "dmpmqcfg -m QMGR -x authrec" will now display the authority
  record defined above, e.g.
  
  SET AUTHREC +
     PROFILE('Q.NOT.YET.DEFINED') +
     PRINCIPAL('user@domain') +
     OBJTYPE(QUEUE) +
     AUTHADD(GET,PUT
  
  2. In 1line mode, dmpmqcfg would produce invalid output by
  commenting immutable fields, for example:
  
  DEFINE SERVICE('SYSTEM.DEFAULT.SERVICE') *ALTDATE(2014-02-10)
  *ALTTIME(10.33.52) REPLACE
  
  The commented fields would cause a syntax error to be produced
  if the command was used in runmqsc.
  
  This has been fixed so that immutable attributes are not
  included in 1line output, e.g.
  
  DEFINE SERVICE('SYSTEM.DEFAULT.SERVICE') REPLACE
  
  3. SupportPac MS03 allowed a "2line" mode to be used. Equivalent
  functionality has been provided in dmpmqcfg, for example:
  
  DEFINE SERVICE('SYSTEM.DEFAULT.SERVICE') REPLACE
  * DEFINE SERVICE('SYSTEM.DEFAULT.SERVICE') ALTDATE(2014-02-07)
  ALTTIME(10.19.30) REPLACE
  
  This is a combination of 1line mode, plus a commented line
  showing the full command including immutable fields.
  
  4. dmpmqcfg -m QMGR -t clntconn now returns client object
  definitions, for example
  
  DEFINE CHANNEL('SYSTEM.DEF.CLNTCONN') +
     CHLTYPE(CLNTCONN) +
  * ALTDATE(2014-02-07) +
  * ALTTIME(10.19.30) +
     TRPTYPE(TCP) +
     REPLACE
