APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Running "crtmqm -md <directory> <qmName>" against a queue manager which already exists removes the queue manager's data directory.
Local fix
Do not run crtmqm -md against an existing queue manager
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of MQ v8 and v9, who incorrectly supply the name of an existing queue manager and the -md flag to the crtmqm command. Furthermore, this issue is only observed if the queue manager was originally created using the default data directory. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A logic error within the crtmqm code path taken when an alternate data directory was specified with the -md option resulted in destructive file operations being performed before the check that the queue manager did not exist. In the case where all of the conditions described in the users affected section were true, this resulted in the removal of the existing queue manager's data directory.
Problem conclusion
This issue in the crtmqm command has been addressed so that the command returns with the following error in this scenario: AMQ8110: WebSphere MQ queue manager already exists. The existing queue manager's data directory remains in place. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.9 v9.0 CD 9.0.5 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.3 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
