IT20981: dmpmqcfg against remote queue manager incorrectly accesses localSYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE if MQ Telemetry is installed

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You dump mq objects from a remote queuemanager with the command
  dmpmqcfg like this:
  
    dmpmqcfg -m <localQMGR> -a -r <remoteQMGR>
  
  When the MQ Telemetry package has been installed on the REMOTE
  queue manager this generates an event on the LOCAL queue manager
  where the dmpmqcfg command is being issued. The event being
  generated is about opening the SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users using dmpmqcfg to dump remote queue manager configuration
  using a local queue manager with MQXR component installed on
  both the local and remote systems.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  A logic error in the dmpmqcfg tool meant that PCF requests made
  by the dmpmqcfg command were not correctly forwarded to the
  SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE on the remote queue manager.
  
  This meant that dmpmqcfg would either incorrectly report MQXR
  information from the local queue manager (if MQXR was installed
  locally), or report no MQXR information as part of its output.
  

Problem conclusion

• The dmpmqcfg tool has been modified so that requests for MQXR
  configuration from a remote queue manager are correctly routed
  to that queue manager.
  
  In order for this operation to be successful, this fix must be
  applied to both the local installation where dmpmqcfg is being
  run, and the remote target queue manager.
