Error description

  • After applying the following authorities to the user connecting
    with MQ Explorer:
    
    setmqaut -m TESTQMGR -n 'SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE' -t queue -g
    group1 +dsp +get
    setmqaut -m TESTQMGR -n 'SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL' -t queue
    -g group1 +dsp +get +inq
    setmqaut -m TESTQMGR -n 'SYSTEM.BROKER.CONTROL.QUEUE' -t queue
    -g group1 +put
    setmqaut -m TESTQMGR -n 'SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE' -t queue -g
    group1 +inq +put
    setmqaut -m TESTQMGR -t qmgr -g group1 +connect +dsp +inq
    +setall
    
    Connection to queue manager works fine, but an incomplete
    list of queues is displayed.
    
    If using the RUNMQSC application as a user with these same
    authorities, and connecting to the queue manager in client mode,
    all expected queues can be displayed successfully, however,
    runmqsc then waits for 30 seconds and prints "AMQ8416: MQSC
    timed
    out waiting for a response from the command server".

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users using MQ Explorer or runmqsc in client mode to query the
    queue names.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    This problem occurred because of incorrect sequence number in
    the PCF reply message
    sent by the command server. The sequence number in the final
    reply message to an Inquire
    Queue command was incorrect if the user issuing the command does
    not have display authority
    over queues in the list. A change to Explorer in 8.0.0.2 added a
    check that the sequence
    number of the final reply should match the number of replies
    received, this change has exposed
    this defect in the command server.
    

Problem conclusion

  • MQ has been modified to correctly set the PCF sequence number.
