IT37672: Runmqras fails to determine queue manager log path on IBM I.  

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The runmqras utility does not collect a directory listing for
  the queue manager logs directory on IBM i
  
  The console.log shows the failure:
  Fri Sep 24 14:30:38 BST 2021:    QmIniFile:reached EOF
  
  Fri Sep 24 14:30:38 BST 2021:    Failed to get log directory
  from QM.ini, using default
  
  <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">The
  logfiles_QM.stderr file contains a message similar to the
  following:</span>
  <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">"Error found
  getting information for object /QM. No such path or
  directory."</span>
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of MQ running runmqras on an IBM i platform.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Linux on Power
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When you ran runmqras on IBM i, the command that was used to
  find the log files failed to get the log directory from qm.ini
  because the qm.ini file did not store the log path on IBM i. As
  a result a logfiles_QM.stderr file would be produced containing
  the error message:
  "Error found getting information for object /TEST. No such path
  or directory."
  
  The runmqras utility incorrectly attempted to obtain the log
  file path from the qm.ini file, when the value from the mqs.ini
  file should have been used instead to locate the logs under
  qsys.lib.
  

Problem conclusion

• The runmqras utility has been updated to use the correct path
  for log files on IBM i which is /qsys.lib/<qm_library>.lib.
