IT38635: VARIOUS ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES MAY REFERENCE THE INSTALLATION MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER SETMQENV IS USED TO SOURCE IT.

IBM MQ for HP NonStop Server V8.1 Fix Pack 8.1.0.9

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Various environment variables may reference the installation
  multiple times after setmqenv is used to source it.
  
  Should the evironment variables have grown too long, FFSTs
  with like:
  MQM Function Stack
    amqzxma0
    zxcExecutionController
    zxcStartupLogic
    nssPersistEnvironment
    cs_pa_WritePropertyMQ
    cs_pa_WriteProperty
    xcsFFST
  
  and FFST data
   Major Errorcode   :- Unknown(15)
  
   Minor Errorcode   :- OK
  
   Probe Type        :- INCORROUT
  
   Probe Severity    :- 4
  
   Probe Description :- AMQ6125: An internal IBM MQ error has
                        occurred.
   FDCSequenceNumber :- 0
  
   Arith1            :- 21 (0x15)
  
   Comment1          :- PUT_WRITEX
  
   Comment2          :- Operation on property file failed.
  
  
  may be seen. In this particular case the environment
  variable dump on the end of the FDC file may hint to
  the environment being too long.
  

Local fix

• Remove MQ related references from the environment and
  source the installation's environment via var/mqm/mqprofile
  

Problem summary

• crtmqenv which is used by setmqenv does not remove existing
  references to its local installation within the environment.
  

Problem conclusion

• crtmqm has been changed to remove references to its local
  installation.
