Closed as program error.
Error description
On ACE V11.0.0.7 the runMQService was updated to allow a new parameters to be called (i.e. --vault-key). This change is working as expected on all platforms apart from AIX. The runMQService script runs using a ksh where linux uses a bash script. This causes a command argument not to be cleared and propogates it into the mqsistart command causing it to fail.
Local fix
In order to fix the issue it it necessary to set the $@ variable before calling the mqsiprofile. In the file at //server/bin/runMQService add args=$@ before the line # Run mqsiprofile and change the last line from . ./mqsistart $broker -1 $@ to . ./mqsistart $broker -1 $args
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:slack-lato,applelogo,sans-seri f">All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11.0 on AIX</span> Platforms affected: AIX **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On ACE V11.0.0.7 the runMQService was updated to allow new parameters to be called (i.e. --vault-key). This change is working as expected on all platforms apart from AIX. On AIX, the runMQService script runs using the ksh shell which has different 'scoping' for positional parameters in comparison to linux (which uses bash script). This different scoping causes the positional parameters to be overwritten resulting in invalid values being propagated to the mqsistart command causing it to fail.
Problem conclusion
The runMQService script is updated to save the arguments supplied to the runMQService script, while the execution environment is initialised, and then explicitly pass the saved arguments to the mqsistart command. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v11.0 11.0.0.8 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006041 If the maintenance level is not yet available,information on its planned availability can be found on: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006308 ---------------------------------------------------------------
