Troubleshooting
Problem
Your security team has flagged some of the executable MQ files in the directory tree $MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH in violation of local security policies.
.
The default location in AIX is /usr/mqm and for the other UNIX operating systems is /opt/mqm.
.
If you have installed MQ in a non-default directory such as /opt/mqm90, or if you have multiple installation, then the details in this technote still apply.
