Question on Listeners
Folks, In what all scenarios, do listeners go down? How do you control the listeners from not going down? Is there some mechanism available at the Sender end by which you can control the listener from going down (in the SDR/RCVR mode)? We have a conectivity with a BackEnd System which reports of its listeners being down on most occasions (atleast whenever I need them to be up). Guyz, Please advice me on this. Thanks in advance.

Linear Log cleanup
Title: Linear Log cleanup Fellows So far my understanding and as well as observation is that, in the logs MQ writes two entries every time one with AMQ7467 for MQ manger restart followed by another one with AMQ7468 for Media recovery. And all most all the time, AMQ7467 log number will be HIGHER or EQUAL than AMQ7468 log number. Hence even the VB Script that I developed (and circulated today in the MQForum) only looks at AMQ7468 entries and cleans up all the logs before that sequence number. But today in one of our production MQ logs, I have noticed the following - where AMQ7467 log number is LESS THAN the AMQ7468. Both entries are posted at the same time. Does it mean my understanding is wrong and if so, do I need to scan AMQ7467 messages as well and then choose the lesser number of the both. Is that's how the other PERL and _javascript_s are handling the log cleanup. According to the below, if I run my VB script it will delete 32131 log as well. Any other explanations ?? Thanks in advance. Rao --- 22/03/2004 17:17:18 AMQ7467: The oldest log file required to start queue manager X is S0032131.LOG. EXPLANATION: The log file S0032131.LOG contains the oldest log record required to restart the queue manager. Log records older than this may be required for media recovery. ACTION: You can move log files older than S0032131.LOG to an archive medium to release space in the log directory. If you move any of the log files required to recreate objects from their media images, you will have to restore them to recreate the objects. --- 22/03/2004 17:17:18 AMQ7468: The oldest log file required to perform media recovery of queue manager is S0032132.LOG.

Re: Many Client connections - how many svrconn channels?
Jxrgen,
I need to make some changes to BlockIP2 for logging of information, the logs
grow way to big on my systems and I need then stamped by date:
ie BlockLog_2004_03_22.log
I also need to be able to specify a log directory, so I was going to add the
following commands:
# on NT systems
LogDirecty=\qml\log
LogDrive=c:
LogFormat=NameDate
LogBaseName=BlockLog
# on Linux systems
LogDirecty=/var/spool/blockip2/logs
LogFormat=NameDate
LogBaseName=BlockLog
On the linux the "LogDrive" would be ignored and just the LogDirectory would
be applicable using "/"s
If I make the changes, are you happy to add them into your code for the
benefit of the community as a whole, or would you prefer me to start my own
stream of BlockIP ???

I just updated BlockIP2 so it might help "Ruzi R" with some of the security
challanges.
It's quite simple what can be done, su}ntax of the new CON parameter:
CON=;[;MCA={*|userid}];
and an example of parameter file
#
# Simple filter implemented in BlockIP2 version 1.22
#
# 1. stop all connection attempts from mqm (NoBody is an undefined or
blocked userid).
CON=*;mqm;MCA=NoBody;
#
# 2. Stop users starting with ww14 from 10.31.* Might be a foregin network
CON=10.31.*;ww14*;MCA=NoBody;
#
# 3. Allow master03 wjen comming from 172.20.10.31
CON=172.20.10.31;master03;
#
# 4. Allow spider when comming from 10.*, and set MCAUSER to master04
CON=10.*;spider;MCA=master04;
#
# 5. Block all other attempts.
CON=*;*;MCA=NoBody;
# EOF
Just my $0.02 ;o)
Kind regards

Re: Managing linear logs with MQ5.3 on Windows
Hi all
I have experienced the same problem for the past few weeks in my current
client site. PERL and JAVA have their own problems and I can't locate MS62
zip file for Windows version so on.. So on..
I don't understand why IBM doesn't provide a support pack that is native to
windows platform ?? My guess as good as anyone - so I will leave it here.
But anyway, I have developed a VB Script which does exactly the same as any
perl/java script and put in place.
If anybody wants to use it - here it is (attached as a txt file and just
rename it to .VBS). The principle is same, reads the AMQERR01.LOG, finds out
the last log number for media recovery and then deletes all previous ones.
Feel free to modify to suit your needs.
Cheers
Rao

given.

Subject: Managing linear logs with MQ5.3 on Windows
Hi all,
I am trying to find if any of the available support packs are suitable for
managing linear logs on a MQ 5.3 Windows NT box.
I have done a little testing, most of them rely on the qm.ini file not more
present above 5.0.
Even with a "fake" ini file on the right place, I was not able to use :
- MS0L : Java exception
- MS62 : Perl problems
In both cases (Java & Perl), I suspect NT 4 related problems.
Any ideas / experiences to share ?
TIA, LMD.
