LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 14
=============================================================

Withdrawal of migmbbrk migration utility
----------------------------------------
The migmbbrk utility has been previously supplied with all WebSphere MQ
Version 7 releases, and was used to migrate publish/subscribe configuration
data from WebSphere Event Broker Version 6.0 or WebSphere Message Broker
Version 6.0 or 6.1 to WebSphere MQ Version 7. To facilitate its operation,
additional software components were supplied with the product.

Given the withdrawal of support for the applicable WebSphere Event Broker
and WebSphere Message Broker releases, the migmbbrk utility and its
dependencies are no longer supplied as part of the MQ product installation.
For compatibility, identically named placeholder files are shipped instead
to preserve the installation layout on disk.

A standalone edition of the migmbbrk utility is to be made available on the
IBM support site.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 13
=============================================================

Deprecation of support for weaker CipherSpecs
---------------------------------------------
WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1, Fix Pack 13 deprecates the SSLv3 protocol and the
use of the following CipherSpecs on channel definitions associated with the
queue manager:

AES_SHA_US (SSLV3 only)
RC4_SHA_US
RC4_MD5_US
TRIPLE_DES_SHA_US
DES_SHA_EXPORT1024
RC4_56_SHA_EXPORT1024
RC4_MD5_EXPORT
RC2_MD5_EXPORT
DES_SHA_EXPORT
TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA (not SSLV3)
NULL_SHA
NULL_MD5
FIPS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
FIPS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA256 (not SSLV3)

Attempting to use or configure one of these CipherSpecs results in one or more
of the following messages in the queue manager error log: AMQ8242, AMQ9616, AMQ9635.

To continue using any SSLv3 CipherSpecs in the previous list (that is, any
CipherSpec except the two that are flagged as "not SSLV3"), set the environment
variable AMQ_SSL_V3_ENABLE to the value "TRUE" in the environment used to start
the queue manager. Alternatively, add the following entry to the SSL stanza of
the queue manager's qm.ini file:
AllowSSLV3=Y
Setting the environment variable overrides any value specified in the qm.ini file.

To continue using any CipherSpecs in the previous list except the one that is flagged as
"SSLV3 only", set or export to "Yes" the environment variable AMQ_SSL_WEAK_CIPHER_ENABLE in the
environment used to start the queue manager.
Alternatively, add the following entry to the SSL stanza of the queue manager's qm.ini file:
AllowWeakCipherSpec=Yes
Setting the environment variable overrides any value specified in the qm.ini file.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 12
=============================================================

This fix pack contains no new limitations or problems that require your
attention.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 11
=============================================================

The Introduction section of the EGA.readme.mbr file shipped with
WebSphere MQ 7.0.1 iSeries base code contains an outdated reference to the
Quick Beginnings book being available from the download site
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Introduction
These instructions apply to installing WebSphere MQ for i5/OS
Version 7.0.1 from an installation image downloaded from IBM.
Use it with the WebSphere MQ for i5/OS Quick Beginnings manual
for this release. A version of the Quick Beginnings book is
available from the download site, it has a description of
'WebSphere MQ V7.0 Install Doc'."

This document is no longer available on the Passport Advantage
site. The information is now available online in the WebSphere MQ
version 7 Information Center in the 'Quick Beginnings for i5/OS' section:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.0.1/com.ibm.mq.amqwac.doc/iq10120_.htm


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 10
=============================================================

WebSphere MQ Explorer - English messages in non-English environment
-------------------------------------------------------------------
When Fix Pack 10 is installed in a non-English environment, some messages in
WebSphere MQ Explorer might still appear in English and might not display the
latest translation. This is caused by Eclipse Bug 201489:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201489

To install the Eclipse fix for this issue, first run WebSphere MQ Explorer in
Eclipse Workbench mode. To select Eclipse Workbench mode,
click Window > Preferences > WebSphere MQ Explorer > in an Eclipse Workbench.
Restart WebSphere MQ Explorer for this to take effect.

On Linux platforms, in order to be able to view and install updates, run
WebSphere MQ Explorer as root.

Launch the update manager by clicking Help > Software Updates
Select "RCP Patch (bug:201489)" from the available updates and follow the
instructions to install the fix.

To return WebSphere MQ Explorer to stand-alone mode if required, select the
appropriate option from the WebSphere MQ Explorer preferences page.

WebSphere Application Server support on z/OS
--------------------------------------------
Before you deploy Fix Pack 10 on or within a WebSphere Application Server
environment on z/OS, read the information below that is relevant to the
versions of WebSphere Application Server you are using:

Version Link

APAR IV31952
------------
The fix for APAR IV31952 changed the authority checks that WebSphere MQ makes on channel
objects when you run the RESET CHANNEL command. Applying this fix can give changed behavior
and you might need to alter some authorities.

Your systems are affected only if your channels run with an MCAUSER userID resolving to a
non-mqm user. The Reset Channel command can run internally within WebSphere MQ code, so,
even though you have not run the Reset Channel command manually, your system might still be
affected.

Ensure that, at a minimum, your channel's MCAUSER userID has both +DSP and +CTRLX authority
on the channel object, so that the userID can run Reset Channel commands. Before the fix
for IV31952, WebSphere MQ checked that the userID had +ALTUSR authority which you might
previously have granted to make your channel work.

After applying fix pack WebSphere MQ fix pack 7.0.1.10 or later, you can remove your
MCAUSER's +ALTUSR authority on the channel object because it is not required for the
Reset Channel command. You should also check that your MCAUSER userID has +DSP and +CTRLX
authority on the channel object.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACKS 8 AND 9
===================================================================

These fix packs contain no new limitations or problems that require your attention.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 7
============================================================

Installing a V7.0.1 fix pack on HP-UX when a V7.1 installation exists
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On HP-UX, when an attempt is made to upgrade 7.0.1 Fix Pack 6 to 7.0.1 Fix Pack 7
on a machine that also has a WeSphere MQ V7.1 installation, the fix pack
installation log might contain the following errors repeated a number
of times. However, this does not prevent the fix pack from installing
successfully.

rm: MQSERIES.MQM-RUNTIME: non-existent
ERROR: You have specified more than one fileset selection. You must
specify only a single fileset when performing file or control
file modifications.

Removing a V7.0.1 fix pack from Linux while a V7.1 queue manager is running
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Linux (all architectures), when you try to remove a V7.0.1 fix pack, the removal
might partially fail if both of the following conditions are true:
- removing the V701 fix pack leaves the installed version of V7.0.1 at an earlier
version than Fix Pack 6
- there is a v7.1 queue manager running on the system at the time.

The error messages output from the 'rpm' command have the following form:

ERROR: WebSphere MQ shared resources for this installation are still in use.
Please ensure no WebSphere MQ processes are running
before removing this maintenance package
error: %preun(MQSeriesJRE-U844092-7.0.1-7.s390x) scriptlet failed, exit status 1


For example, on a system where the following installation order has been used:

(1) Install a fresh installation of WebSphere MQ V7.0.1, Fix Pack 3.
(2) Install WebSphere MQ V7.0.1, Fix Pack 7.
(3) Install WebSphere MQ V7.1.0.0.
(4) Create and start a V7.1 queue manager
(5) Uninstall the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1.7 fix pack

To avoid this issue, take one of the following actions:

(a) Ensure that all queue managers on the system are in the stopped
state before removing the fix pack.

(b) Ensure that the 'MQSeriesRuntime' rpm package is the
last package to be removed from the fix pack uninstallation.

The rpm syntax varies by rpm version - you might need to consult your
Operating System vendor in order to determine this information for your
system. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.7, which uses rpm version
4.4.2.3, the removal order is the reverse of that specified on the
command line. Therefore specifying the 'MQSeriesRuntime' first in the
removal list will allow the fix pack to be removed.

For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.7, use the following command
syntax to successfully remove an instance of V7.0.1, Fix Pack 7 while a V7.1.0.0
queue manager is running:

rpm -e MQSeriesRuntime-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesConfig-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesMsg_es-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_ru-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesMan-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_ko-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesServer-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesJava-U844091-7.0.1-
MQSeriesMsg_cs-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_hu-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesMsg_pl-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_Zh_TW-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesTXClient-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesClient-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesJRE-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_de-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesMsg_it-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_pt-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesSamples-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesKeyMan-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesMsg_ja-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesSDK-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesFTA-U844091-7.0.1-7 MQSeriesMsg_fr-U844091-7.0.1-7
MQSeriesMsg_Zh_CN-U844091-7.0.1-7

If you do encounter this issue, complete removal of the V7.0.1 fix pack by
completing the following steps:
1. Stop all WebSphere MQ queue managers on the system.
2. Remove the remaining rpm packages associated with the fix pack
that were not removed with the first removal attempt.

Changes to DEFXMITQ attribute of the queue manager object
---------------------------------------------------------
Additional checks have been introduced in Fix Pack 7 to disallow setting the
value "SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE" for the DEFXMITQ attribute for the
queue manager object.A new reason code "MQRCCF_DEF_XMIT_Q_CLUS_ERROR" (number 3269)
has been created to describe a failed attempt to set the DEFXMITQ attribute of the
queue manager object to "SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE".

Additionally, to prevent problems if DEFXMITQ has previously been incorrectly
set to SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE, a new validity
check has been added to prevent an MQOPEN or MQPUT1 call from
using this incorrect mechanism. The reason code on failure is
"MQRC_DEF_XMIT_Q_USAGE_ERROR" (number 2199).


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 6
============================================================

Changes to the default behaviour of MQPUT1 API with MQPMO_SYNCPOINT
when used in a client application
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The default behaviour of MQPUT1 with MQPMO_SYNCPOINT has been changed
in Fix Pack 6, to put the message synchronously so that MQMD
and MQOD output fields are populated during the MQPUT1 call.

The default behaviour can be changed by setting the client configuration
file attribute Put1AsyncPut in the Channels stanza.

Valid values for Put1AsyncPut are:
(a) no : Put is always synchronous. This is the default.
(b) yes : Put is always asynchronous.
(c) syncpoint : Put is asynchronous if MQPMO_SYNCPOINT is set
and synchronous otherwise.

The new attribute Put1AsyncPut does not replace Put1DefaultAlwaysSync.
If there is a need to change the default back to the pre-Fix Pack 6
default, the client configuration file attribute Put1AsyncPut
must be set to "syncpoint".


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 5
============================================================

Improved handling of WebSphere MQ running on HP-UX 11i V3 (Itanium hardware)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This item affects only users on HP-UX 11i V3 (Itanium hardware) where
the system hostname is longer than 8 characters.

Before Fix Pack 5, WebSphere MQ obtained the hostname by calling a system
call, uname(). On HP-UX 11i V3 (Itanium hardware), the uname() call
can fail if the hostname is greater than 8 characters.

During the install processing and also during normal queue manager
processing, the failed uname() call could then cause the WebSphere MQ
code to fail to operate correctly. Directories under /var/mqm that
contain the hostname can then incorrectly be created with the name
"Unknown" instead of the hostname.

APAR IZ87770 addresses the problem by using the gethostname() system
call instead. After installing Fix Pack 5 or higher fix packs, please
manually remove the directories incorrectly named "Unknown".

Specifically the directories named "Unknown" will be under these
locations:
- /var/mqm/ipc
- /var/mqm/sockets
- /var/mqm/qmgrs/<qmgrname>/@app
- /var/mqm/qmgrs/<qmgrname>/@qmgr

Do NOT delete any other directories, for example those that hold
message data under /var/mqm/qmgrs/<qmgrname>/queues.

More information about this APAR can be found here:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IZ87770


Improvement to the way in which trigger monitor sends information
to the triggered application
-----------------------------------------------------------------
APAR IC72003 improves the way in which the trigger monitor sends
information to the triggered application.

Percent and dollar characters are now escaped by double quotes (Windows)
or a backslash (UNIX).

This change causes the expansion of environment variables by
the operating system to be suppressed for the data inside the
MQTMC2 structure that is passed as a parameter to the triggered
application.

For example, if the APPLICID field of a process was defined to
be "java cp %CLASSPATH% TriggerApp", then on Windows this will
be changed to "java cp "%"CLASSPATH"%" TriggerApp" when
constructing the MQTMC2.

In this example, the application will receive "java cp %CLASSPATH%
TriggerApp" as an input parameter. From Fix Pack 5, applications
no longer receive an expanded version of environment variables
inside the MQTMC2 structure. Instead they must use alternative
means of expanding the environment variables if their content
is important.

Changes to the usage of MQGMO_CONVERT in WebSphere MQ v7.0 classes for JMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
APAR IC72897 changes the way in which WebSphere MQ V7.0 classes
for JMS request messages from the queue manager.

Prior to Fix Pack 5, the WebSphere MQ V7.0 classes for JMS requested
messages from the queue manager using the WebSphere MQ API option
MQGMO_CONVERT. This option requests that the queue manager
performs message data conversion before sending the message to
the receiving JMS application.

The WebSphere MQ V6.0 classes for JMS did not use this option.
This change of JMS client behaviour can affect JMS applications
when migrating from V6.0 to V7.0.

The code change associated with this APAR reverts the default
action of the V7.0 classes to the V6.0 behaviour. When
Fix Pack 5 or higher is installed, WebSphere MQ V7.0 classes
for JMS applications no longer use MQGMO_CONVERT. Therefore the queue manager
performs no message data conversion when messages are requested.

New properties have also been added as part of this APAR, to allow the
application to choose whether queue manager data conversion is requested or not.
These properties can be configured programmatically using the
setter method on the com.ibm.mq.jms.MQDestination class, administratively
using a property set in the JNDI namespace for the destination, or as a system
wide environment variable within the JVM using the property
"com.ibm.msg.client.wmq.receiveConversionCCSID".

A full description of this APAR, including how to use the new
properties, and the settings to use to retain the behaviour of the V7.0
classes prior to this fix pack, is available at:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21459994


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 4
============================================================

Behavior of the UNCOM output field for DISPLAY QSTATUS
------------------------------------------------------
APAR IZ76189 has changed the behaviour of the DISPLAY QSTATUS command
in runmqsc so that the behaviour of UNCOM now matches the description
under the runmqsc Information Center pages.

The runmqsc interface will now display the number of uncommitted
messages rather than simply YES or NO.

You can now use UNCOM in a filter: for example, WHERE(UNCOM LT 10).

It may be necessary to modify your scripts that contain DISPLAY QSTATUS
commands to runmqsc, if they rely on this value being YES or NO.

Improvement to dead-letter handling within the WebSphere MQ v7 classes for JMS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APAR IZ78515 has changed the default behavior for dead-letter handling
within the WebSphere MQ V7 classes for JMS.

When using the WebSphere MQ V7 classes for Java Message Service (JMS)
before Fix Pack 4, poison messages that cannot be sent to the
named backout queue were converted to type JMSBytesMessage before being
sent to the queue manager's dead-letter queue (for example,
SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE).

This had been a change in behavior from WebSphere MQ V6. In V6, the
JMS classes put the messages to the dead-letter-queue in their original
format, without converting them to type JMSBytesMessage.

APAR IZ78515 changes the behavior so that poison messages are now put
to the dead-letter queue without doing any conversion. This is the
correct behavior for this function, and matches WebSphere MQ v6.

New information in WebSphere MQ Explorer : some non-English text missing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the newest text (added in Fix Pack 4) is missing from non-English
versions of the WebSphere MQ Explorer.

(a) The MQ Explorer authorization functionality now contains a new
panel which allows you to "Add Role Based Authorities". There are two
"More Information" links on this screen. At Fix Pack 4, the lower of the
two links doesn't give any information unless you are running the MQ
Explorer in English.

(b) A number of items of recently introduced SSL/TLS functionality have
been added into the MQ Explorer at Fix Pack 4. These items relate
to channel and queue manager configuration. Specifically, they allow:
- Configuration of SHA-2 CipherSpecs from the MQ Explorer.
- Specification of an HTTP Proxy Server for OCSP use.
- Configurable change to the way certificates are validated which is
useful to a small number of users.
When running the MQ Explorer in English the information in these panels
has been updated to reflect the new SSL/TLS values; in other languages
some of this new information is not displayed, though the main panels
themselves are properly translated.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACK 3
============================================================

Fix Pack 3 and later clients using JMS to connect to Fix Pack 2 servers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If upgrading to Fix Pack 3 or higher on an installation where
WebSphere MQ classes for Java Message Service (JMS) are in use, please
read the following information.

From Fix Pack 3 onwards, When using the WebSphere MQ classes for
Java Message Service (JMS) to connect to a Fix Pack 2 queue manager,
there can be a problem when stopping the SVRCONN channel instance.

For example, you type:

STOP CHANNEL(MY.SVRCONN.CHANNEL)

Stopping a channel being used by the Java application can result in the
channel status remaining in a STOPPING state. When the channel is restarted,
the channel status moves to STARTED and another channel instance is created.

This issue has been resolved by APAR IZ77323, fixed in Fix Pack 3.
Therefore you should upgrade the server installation of WebSphere MQ
to Fix Pack 3 or higher before the clients that connect to it, if your clients
are using JMS.

Additional error cases now found by Explorer security tests
-----------------------------------------------------------
After you install Fix Pack 3 or higher, if you run the Explorer Default Tests
you will probably get error messages in the Test Results, even if your results
were error-free previously. This is because the Default Tests now test aspects
of your configuration that were not previously tested.

The most common errors arise because your inbound system and default channels
(ones with names starting with "SYSTEM") have not been adequately protected
against unwanted access.

Another common cause of new errors is that your SSL/TLS system files allow
unnecessarily high levels of access. You can reconfigure your system to
remove error Test Results, and, where appropriate, warning Test Results.
Advice on how to do this is given in the "Further Information" associated with
the Test Result.

You may wish to use the same SSL/TLS system files to hold both client and queue
manager keys and certificates. However, this is an insecure configuration and
is discouraged. In general the access control/permission required for such a
configuration is incompatible with the new SSL/TLS system file test. If you
persist with sharing SSL/TLS system files between the client and queue manager,
but want error-free Explorer Test Results, you can configure your own set of
standard tests using the Explorer "Run Custom Test Configuration..." facility.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1, FIX PACKS 1 AND 2
===================================================================

These fix packs contain no new limitations or problems that require your attention.


LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR VERSION 7.0.1.0
==================================================

64-bit GSKit 7 not updated with MQ fix pack install on Windows
--------------------------------------------------------------
Due to a known limitation in the install code, the 64-bit version of
GSKit 7 on Windows is not upgraded when WebSphere MQ fix packs
are installed.

This means that 64-bit MQ client applications using SSL/TLS connections
on Windows are not running at the latest GSKit fix level.

However, the 32-bit GSKit 7 installation is upgraded when the fix
pack is installed. This means that queue managers, server-side
channels and 32-bit SSL/TLS client applications are still able to
use the newer GSKit fix levels when WebSphere MQ maintenance is applied.

Java and JMS clients do not use GSKit for their SSL/TLS functionality,
and are therefore unaffected by this issue.

Information relating to maintaining multi-instance queue managers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Guidance can be found here for applying fix packs where multi-instance queue
managers are in use:

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.0.1/com.ibm.mq.amqaac.doc/cr00060_.htm

In general, a multi-instance queue manager can have instances running at a
mixture of 7.0.x.y and 7.0.a.b. Exceptions to this are listed below. Other
than these exceptions, it is the general rule that the standby instance can
be on an installation at a newer or older fix pack level than the active
instance. This enables upgrading or rolling back of maintenance with the
minimum of down time.

The following is the list of exceptions:

Windows: 7.0.1.0 and >= 7.0.1.0 cannot be used in combination.

i5/OS: 7.0.1.0 does not support multi-instance queue managers so cannot
be used for the standby or active instance.

Launching Explorer with a previous installation of WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a previous installation of WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1, for example a
Beta version, you might experience a problem when you launch the WebSphere MQ
Explorer. If you find that Eclipse starts but the WebSphere MQ perspective does
not open properly, perform the following actions:

1. In the Explorer, click the Window menu and select "Restart perspective".

2. If the previous step does not fix the problem:
a. Close the Explorer
b. Issue the following command at the command line: strmqcfg -i
c. Start the Explorer again

3. If the previous step does not fix the problem:
a. Close the Explorer
b. Check there is no Eclipse process running.
c. (Note: The following action removes Explorer data such as remote queue manager
definitions and custom schemes and filters, so make a note of any such
data you want to keep.)
Delete the following folders:
On Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\IBM\MQ Explorer
C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\.eclipse
On Linux:
/home/<userid>/.mqdata
/home/<userid>/.eclipse
d. Issue the following command at the command line: strmqcfg -i
e. Start the Explorer again

Support for WebSphere MQ on Windows Vista Japanese Edition
----------------------------------------------------------
WebSphere MQ does not support the Japanese standard, JIS X 0213:2004.
Windows Vista Japanese Edition formally supports JIS X 0213:2004 characters.
These JIS X 0213:2004 characters include Unicode CJK Ideographs Extension-B
characters (UTF-16 surrogate pair (four bytes) characters).

Installation verification test program for JCA with WAS CE
----------------------------------------------------------
For the JCA IVT to work on WebSphere Application Server Community Edition
(WAS CE) there must be a connection factory with a name of "qcf" and a
queue with a message-destination-name of "jmstestQ" defined in the
geronimo-rar.xml when you deploy the RAR file.

For the wmq.jmsra.ivt.ear file to deploy on version 2.0.1 or later of WAS CE
the following xml files within the EAR file have to be updated as follows:

geronimo-application.xml

                 xmlns:nam="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2">
<dep:environment xmlns:dep="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2">

openejb-jar.xml

<openejb-jar xmlns="http://www.openejb.org/xml/ns/openejb-jar-2.1"
             xmlns:nam="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/naming-1.2"
             xmlns:sec="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/security-1.2"
             xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2"
             xmlns:pkgen="http://www.openejb.org/xml/ns/pkgen-2.0">

Clustering of topics
--------------------
Though clustering of topics is generally supported, do not cluster
SYSTEM.BASE.TOPIC or SYSTEM.DEFAULT.TOPIC. The CLUSTER parameter of these topics
must be blank.

Topics in overlapping clusters
------------------------------
If you define two or more topics, with one topic string being a more qualified
version of the other (for example SPORTS and SPORTS/FOOTBALL), with the topics
in different but overlapping clusters, publications can be delivered to
unexpected recipient queue managers. For example:
- Queue manager qmAB is in both clusters ClusterA and ClusterB
- SPORTS is a cluster topic in ClusterA
- SPORTS/FOOTBALL is a cluster topic in ClusterB
Subscribers to SPORTS/FOOTBALL on queue managers which are only in ClusterA also
receive publications from queue manager qmAB.

Similarly, if a cluster topic and a local topic share a name, unexpected
publications can be received. For example:
- SPORTS is a cluster topic in ClusterA
- Queue manager qmC in ClusterA defines a topic SPORTS with no cluster
Subscribers for SPORTS on queue managers in ClusterA receive publications from qmC.

MQ Explorer fails using Firefox on Linux
----------------------------------------
The WebSphere MQ Explorer might fail with the message "JVM terminated" when
attempting to launch the Help Center. There is a known problem when running the
Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) browser inside Eclipse on some Linux distributions
when the default browser is Firefox. To avoid this problem, set the value of the
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable to the folder containing your Firefox
installation. For example, if Firefox is installed in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10,
use the command:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10
or
setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10
depending on the shell you are using.
(This requirement is noted in the SWT FAQs section of the Eclipse Web site:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux)

File Transfer Application help system not automatically available on Linux
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Help in the GUI is unavailable, an error is displayed when the File Transfer
Application is started. You can find the html help files in
/opt/mqm/eclipse/fta-help/plugins/com.ibm.mq.fta.doc_7.0.1.0/doc.zip

Multi-instance queue managers are not supported on IBMi
--------------------------------------------------------
Multi-instance queue managers are introduced with WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1.
IBM Knowledge Center states that these are available on all platforms except
z/OS. However, they are not available on IBMi (formerly i5/OS).

"Java Messaging and Web Services" component now includes XMS
------------------------------------------------------------
On Windows the component formerly known as "Java Messaging and Web Services" is
now called "Java and .NET Messaging and Web Services". As part of this change
additional files are installed with this component to enable use of the Message
Service Client for .NET, also known as XMS. If you upgrade a Java-only
installation you will also install the Message Service Client for .NET. For more
information about XMS messaging see IBM Knowledge Center.

Simplification of publish/subscribe authorities
-----------------------------------------------
The way authorities are determined at the top of the topic tree has been
simplified. If authorities are defined on the SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM or
SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.SUBPOINT topic objects (and those topic objects still have
empty topic strings), those authorities will no longer take effect.

In order to apply topic authorities at the top of the topic tree, you should
apply the authorities to the SYSTEM.BASE.TOPIC object.

Use of HP Hotspot JVM
---------------------
If you use an HP Hotspot JVM, set the Java System property -XX:+UseGetTimeOfDay.
If you do not set this property, your application might not be aware of system
time changes.

XMS assemblies left in Global Assemblies Cache after uninstall
--------------------------------------------------------------
On windows, uninstalling WebSphere MQ after installing WebSphere MQ7.0.1 through
the fix pack might result in some assemblies (IBM.XMS.*.dll) being left in
the .NET Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

This will occur if the .NET framework is available on the machine and the
"Java Messaging and Web Services" feature was selected in the original WebSphere
MQ v7 installation (selected by default). This behaviour can be prevented by
either rolling back the WebSphere MQ v 7.0.1 refresh pack or by running
"amqiRegsiterdotNet.cmd /u" (available in the "<WMQInstallRoot>\bin" directory)
before uninstalling WebSphere MQ.


MIGRATION ISSUES FOR VERSION 7.0.1
==================================

Migration from WebSphere MQ Version 6.0.2.3 or earlier on Windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When you migrate from WebSphere MQ Version 6.0.2.3 or earlier to Version 7.0.1,
the "exits" directory is emptied. This is normally
c:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\exits, or
c:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ (x86)\exits, but you might have installed to a
different directory.

This issue only affects Windows installations. To fix it prior to migration,
apply service patch 6.0.2.4 or later to the Version 6 installation. See
APAR IC48397 for details. Otherwise, back up your "exits" directory before
migrating.

Migration from WebSphere MQ Version 6 to WebSphere MQ Version 7 on Windows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When migrating WebSphere MQ from v6 to v7, if a queue manager has a
startup property set to Automatic, the property will get
changed to Interactive( manual) during the migration.
To set queue manager startup property back to Automatic use the following
MQ command: amqmdain auto QMgrName

Migration from WebSphere MQ Version 6 earlier than CSD 6.0.2.3
--------------------------------------------------------------
The first time the WebSphere MQ Explorer is started after migration, error
message AMQ4473 might be displayed and an FDC file written stating that the
WMQ_Schemes.xml file used to save schemes was found to be in an invalid format,
and that all user-defined schemes must be re-created.
Before CSD 6.0.2.3 schemes were not saved correctly. If you use schemes, you
will have experienced this problem and upgraded to a later CSD level. If you
have not created your own schemes and are using an earlier version of WebSphere
MQ, you will see this message on starting WebSphere MQ Explorer. However,
MQ Explorer continues, creating a new default set of schemes, so no action is
required.

Migration: save JMSAdmin.config
-------------------------------
Save the file JMSAdmin.config (in the <install_root>/java/bin directory) to
another location before upgrading to WebSphere MQ v.7.0 or it will be
overwritten.

migmbbrk might not migrate ACLS correctly when subscription points are used
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WebSphere Message Broker publish/subscribe state migration tool (migmbbrk)
might not migrate ACLS correctly when subscription points are used. Consider
the following scenario:

1. A subscription to a WebSphere Message Broker broker references the topic
tree a/b/c.
2. A publication to a/b/c uses a subscription point called SB1.
3. The topic string a/b has an ACL that grants publish access to a user, USER1.

The migration to the queue manager creates two topic objects and a setmqaut
command. It emulates subscription points by creating a topic object for SB1
with the topic string SB1/a/b/c. It also creates a topic object for a/b with an
ACL granting publish access to USER1. The setmqaut command grants publish
access to USER1 for the topic a/b.

As a result of the migration the topic tree has two branches, a/b and SB1/a/b/c.
The ACL is defined for the a/b branch but not for the SB1/a/b/c branch. Therefore
publish access permission is granted to USER1 on a/b, but not granted to USER1
for the topic string SB1/a/b/c.

If your topic tree includes both subscription points and user-defined ACLs,
review both to see whether the ACLs that are defined in the broker and then migrated
to the queue manager need to be manually replicated for the topic trees that lie
below subscription points.


Other changes
=============

Updates in the XA sample makefile
---------------------------------
Updates are made to the xaswit.mak file, so that it now contains up-to-date
references to database product install directories.

The default directories used in the sample makefile are changed to be more
up-to-date.

If you need to rebuild a switch load file, and need to continue to use old
database product install directories or versions, please check and amend the
xaswit.mak file so that it contains the correct information for your target
machine.

Do not rebuild your switch load file(s), unless it is necessary.

You will ONLY need to rebuild a switch load file IF the install directory of
your database product changes - eg. after installing a new version of the
database product.

gigabyte of free space to contain the compressed file and the
uncompressed installation image.

4. Ensure that you have the free space required to install the fix
pack. The free space must be available in the location of the
WebSphere MQ installation that you are updating.

To determine the space used by the existing WebSphere MQ products on
UNIX platforms, perform the command:

du -k -s MQDIR

where MQDIR represents the location where the WebSphere MQ product is
installed.

5. If you already have the WebSphere MQ v7 product installed and have
obtained special fixes, contact IBM(R) support to determine whether you
need an updated version of the fixes before you install the fix pack.
This helps to ensure that your system is in a consistent
state and that no special fixes are lost.

that are necessary if you have installed GSKit in order to use SSL
channels with WebSphere MQ.
2. Download the fix pack to an appropriate location.
3. Uncompress the fix pack.
4. Stop all WebSphere MQ processes and its applications.

2.3.2 Downloading the fix pack to an appropriate location
-------------------------------------------------------------
There must not be any spaces in the directory path where you plan to
download and uncompress the fix pack. If there are spaces in the
directory path, the installation will fail. For example, make sure
that your directory path resembles the following:

/home/WMQFixPack/FP1/ ...

It should not resemble the following:

/home/WMQ FixPack/FP1/ ...

2.3.3 Uncompressing the fix pack installation images
----------------------------------------------------
All fix pack installation images on the download site are compressed in
gz/Z/zip format. Before you can apply the fix pack from this format,
copy the downloaded file to a temporary directory and use
gunzip/uncompress and tar to extract the fix pack installation image.

2.3.4 Extract the fix pack install files
----------------------------------------
To extract the fix pack install files, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the gzipped/Z image to a temporary location.
2. Change to the directory where you copied the image.
3. The following are example commands to extract the fix pack
installation image:

gunzip -c filename.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
zcat filename.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
unzip filename.zip

where filename.tar.gz etc. is the name of the downloaded file.

2.3.5 Stopping all WebSphere MQ processes
-----------------------------------------
You must ensure that all WebSphere MQ processes are stopped and do not
start automatically during the installation procedure. To stop all
WebSphere MQ processes, perform the following steps:

1. Log in as a user in the mqm group.
2. Use the endmqm command to stop all running queue managers.
3. Stop any listeners associated with the queue managers, using the
command:

endmqlsr -m QMgrName

4. To check that you have stopped all of them, enter the following:

ps -ef | grep mq

Check that there are no processes listed that are running command lines
beginning amq or runmq. Ignore any that start with amqi.

5. Take any further administrative actions (as root if necessary) to
stop all applications that use queue managers on the system, and
prevent them from restarting automatically during the installation
procedure

++ ++
++ SECTION 3 : IBM MESSAGE SERVICE CLIENT FOR .NET V2.0.0.13 ++
++ ++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3.1 Changes in this release
---------------------------

This version of XMS .NET has been tested for interaction with
IBM WebSphere MQ 7.0.1.13.

In addition, several fixes have been applied to resolve issues highlighted
from continued testing and customer feedback.

If Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0 is installed on the machine, you might
need to create or set the HKEY_LOCAL_COMPUTER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework
registry key as follows:

"OnlyUseLatestCLR"=dword:00000001


3.2 Troubleshooting XMS .NET issues
--------------------------------

a) User authentication for WebSphere MQ is performed by using the details of
the logged on user and not the information provided in the XMSC.USERID and
XMSC.PASSWORD fields. This is designed to maintain consistency with WebSphere MQ.
See IBM Knowledge Center for further details about authentication.

b) On a Windows 64-bit platform, the setting or getting of values for the property
type "double" using the SetDoubleProperty() or GetDoubleProperty() methods might
not work correctly, if the values involved are smaller than Double.Epsilon.

For example, if you try to set a value of 4.9E-324 for a property with type double,
the Windows 64-bit platforms treat it as 0.0. So, in a distributed messaging
environment, if a JMS or other application sets the value for a double property
as 4.9E-324 on any Unix or Windows 32-bit machine, and XMS .NET runs on a 64-bit
machine, the value returned by GetDoubleProperty() is 0.0.

This is a known issue with Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework.
