Error description
In a specific situation, user restore command may not work. Below is an example: -- M2000(mqcli)# userlist user01 M2000(mqcli)# grouplist mqm : users : user01 mqatestgrp : user01 M2000(mqcli)# usercreate -u user02 M2000(mqcli)# userlist user01 user02 M2000(mqcli)# grouplist mqm : users : user01 user02 mqatestgrp : user01 M2000(mqcli)# userbackup User data has been backed up to 'mqbackup://userbackup-20151008-170207' M2000(mqcli)# userdelete -u user02 M2000(mqcli)# userlist user01 M2000(mqcli)# grouplist mqm : users : user01 mqatestgrp : user01 M2000(mqcli)# userrestore -f mqbackup://userbackup-20151008-170207 M2000(mqcli)# userlist user01 M2000(mqcli)# grouplist mqm : users : user01 mqatestgrp : user01 -- user user02 is not restored. In trace files, we could not see the restore behavior of user02. However, if using "userbackup -f", then there will be no problem.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: The users that are affected by this APAR are specifically users of the IBM MQ Appliance M2000 attempting to backup and then restore a set of MQ user identities. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The problem was caused internally when attempting to allocate a buffer for the commands to collate the user identities. These buffers are created as a result of using the userbackup and userrestore commands in the command line interface (MQCLI), but due to a logic error, were not allocated to be of sufficient size.
Problem conclusion
The problem is resolved by ensuring that an appropriately sized buffer is used to hold the command line arguments of the internal collation activity. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.5 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
