IT26599: Creating new pattern using IBM MQ PureApplication Software Component displays: "Metadata of MQ_FIXPACK cannot be loaded"

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a new pattern on Pureapp AIX was created using template
  "IBM
  MQ Multi-Instance" the following error message was displayed :
  
  "Metadata of MQ_FIXPACK cannot be loaded. Make sure that the
  images, script packages, and pattern types that are in the
  pattern are installed, the licenses are accepted. For script
  packages and images, user also need to have read access right to
  access it.
                                                       "
  
  As a consequence the MQ software component attributes in the
  standby node were not correctly linked to the MQ attributes in
  the primary node.
  

Local fix

• Manually create the links between the attributes of the primary
  MQ
  node and the attributes of the secondary MQ node as follows:
  
  IBM MQ Standby ->  IBM MQ Active
  ======================
  	Queue manager name	->	ha_standby_name	
  	Listener port	->	ha_standby_port	
  	Queue manager
  directory	->	ha_standby_directory	
  	Shared directory	->	ha_standby_shared_dir	
  	Error path	->	ha_standby_error_path	
  	Manage MQ data
  manually	->	ha_standby_manage_mq_data_manually	
  	Use existing MQ queue manager data
  directory	->	ha_standby_existing_data_path	
  	Do not install IBM MQ Advanced
  components	->	ha_standby_do_not_install_mq_advanced_comp
  onents
