 Subject:LPAR Failover?
 A question, please... A CICS region connects to a
 QMGR via the INITPARM
 data - how does the process of fail-over work in the
 event an LPAR is
 lost?

 Say RegionA points to QMGRA on LPAR1, If an LPAR
 fails I can (in a PLEX
 environment) simply workload balance to another
 region(s) on another LPAR
 or in a non-PLEX environment bring up the regions
 there - But how do I
 have it deal w/MQ when it's looking for a specific
 QMGR and Queues?

 Thanks,

 Dave

Let me try to be a little more constructive.

1. Should I use queue managers on all machines or just one for a 
specific platform  ( eg. 1 for windows, 1 for all unix etc.)

Using MQ Queue managers on all your machines presents two things:
 1 - It allows you to have assured delivery. Assuming that you 
applications and environments are coded correctly
 2 - Will present your organization with additional operational 
concerns.

We will get to CLIENT latter on but QMGR to QMGR excludes on problem 
unless you go with the Transactional Client. As you will be using 
MQSeries across multiple platforms you will have to administer on both 
a MQSeries level and operational level. This will add to your workload.

But in some instances, depending on your business requirements, may be 
a necessary evil. In the long run, the work is not as much trouble as 
one would like to think. It a learning experience as with everything 
else.

2. If I choose to use clients, can clients guarantee delivery in  the 
advent
   that the machine where the client is on goes down.

Clients will give you assured delivery just as Server to Server does 
except for the HOLE. This has to be programicatically attacked. 
Sometimes it is enough pain to warrent Server to Sever. Because now you

have to make sure EVERY on eis doing the correct thing. and again this 
is not the case with the transactional client. OH! Outgoing client 
IS NOT supported on zOS.

3.I was told that having a queue manager on the mainframe is tricky, is

that the case and if I choose not to put a queue manager on the 
mainfram and go with just a client will that provide me with a reliable

fault tolerant setup.

If you told a zOS person to set up a UNIX system he would tell you is 
is a pain in the arse. Well maybe not given Open Systems!! BUT...ask a 
Unix Sysadmin to set up a zOS and he may kill you or tell you it is 
easier to do it on UNIX. Granted MQSeries on UNIX is easier to set 
up than on zOS but if you have a capable, reliable and responsive 
system programmer on zOS you are going to do fine. My first MQ 
experience was on zOS and our CICS system Programmer, Jackie, was a 
smart and very nice responsive person. She made it easy! Also, 
again, MF does not support outgoing clients. As for the fault tolerant,

most zOS systems by their nature in production are set up that way with

fiber channel replication to a DR site. Not hardware configuration 
withstanding. You should be OK there. In fact you may want to consider 
putting a concentrator up front and doing your MQ work through the 
mainframe.

MQSeries sometimes comes down to what the business will pay for. The 
complete GOD LIKE picture is equal to money. More that likely they 
will let you install and configure enough to ge them buy. As a little 
bit of advice. Get your tools, administration, management and 
monitoring software decided on in 

Re: Pageset nearly full warning?

2004-09-29 Thread Tom Schneider
Hi Taras,

I don't know of any way to get the queue manager itself to issue a warning
that the page set is almost full. Some (probably most, maybe all) of
the MQ monitoring products on the market will do this.

In my opinion a better approach is to set MAXDEPTH on the queues to a
reasonable (not the default, for sure) value, and then use queue depth
high alerts to anticipate when a queue is reaching its limit.  If a
queue becomes full, only that queue is impacted, whereas if a page set
becomes full all the queues using it are impacted.

If limiting queue size does not seem to be practical, then you might want
to either look at a monitor, or you could try to monitor usage of pagesets
on your own either by using the output of the display usage command, or by
scanning for the messages that are output when a pageset adds extents.

  I don't have a queue manager in front of me right now but
  there is a queue

Hmmm The table for CP 037 appears incomplete is it doesn't cover any of

Also some of the character assignments in CP 437 seem strange.  For example
x09 is normally a tab character, and in the 437 table it is shown as an
small circle (glyph name SM75).

Subject: Re: Pageset nearly full warning?


Hi Taras,

I don't know of any way to get the queue manager itself to issue a warning
that the page set is almost full. Some (probably most, maybe all) of
the MQ monitoring products on the market will do this.

In my opinion a better approach is to set MAXDEPTH on the queues to a
reasonable (not the default, for sure) value, and then use queue depth
high alerts to anticipate when a queue is reaching its limit.  If a
queue becomes full, only that queue is impacted, whereas if a page set
becomes full all the queues using it are impacted.

If limiting queue size does not seem to be practical, then you might want
to either look at a monitor, or you could try to monitor usage of pagesets
on your own either by using the output of the display usage command, or by
scanning for the messages that are output when a pageset adds extents.

On the mainframe, MQ puts out a message if a pageset is full, which can
then be acted upon by automation.  Is there a good way of producing a
warning message if a pageset is filling up, but not yet full?

MO72

2004-09-29 Thread Paul Clarke
Due to popular demand I have put up a version of my MO72 SupportPac for
AIX, Solaris, Linux as well as Windows.

The zip file is available :-

ftp testcase.boulder.ibm.com
do an anonymous sign-in
cd ts/fromibm/mqseries
bin
get paul_mqsc.zip

It should work exactly the same although I haven't had a chance to test
fully. The one area where it's no as good is that it doesn't automatically
determine the width of your screen. If any one could tell me the simple way
of doing that on Unix I could add that in but as of now you have to say
something like =width=120 (or whatever).

Anyway, I would appreciate bug reports and confirmation that it works on
the different flavours/releases of Unix so I can then get this loaded up on
a web site.

Incidently, is anyone out there trying to use MO71 or MO72 over a slow
client link ?, I'd be interested in you geting in touch with me directly.

Cheers,
P.

Re: setmqaut on unix

2004-09-29 Thread David C. Partridge
Think of it as a documented feature:

System Administration Guide, Chapter 4, Section: Authority to work with
WebSphere MQ objects, Sub-Section: Identifying the user ID

Principals and groups
Principals can belong to groups. You can grant access to a particular
resource to groups rather than to individuals, to reduce the amount of
administration required. For example, you might define a group consisting of
users who want to run a particular application. Other users can be given
access to all the resources they require simply by adding their user ID to
the appropriate group. This is described in Creating and managing groups.

A principal can belong to more than one group (its group set) and has the
aggregate of all the authorities granted to each group in its group set.
These authorities are cached, so any changes you make to the principal's
group membership are not recognized until the queue manager is restarted,
unless you issue the MQSC command REFRESH SECURITY (or the PCF equivalent).


UNIX systems
All ACLs are based on groups. When a user is granted access to a particular
resource, the user ID's primary group is included in the ACL, not the
individual user ID, and authority is granted to all members of that group.
Because of this, be aware that you could inadvertently change the authority
of a principal by changing the authority of another principal in the same
group.
All users are nominally assigned to the default user group nobody and by
default, no authorizations are given to this group. You can change the
authorization in the nobody group to grant access to WebSphere MQ resources
to users without specific authorizations.

Unresolved account error in oam

2004-09-29 Thread listname ANONYMOUS postings DIGests
We use many different types of servers with MQ but I am having a problem
with the oam on one server.  This server is a Win 2003 server running MQ
V5.3, CSD04.  The server has no oam settings in that oam is enabled but I
have not issued any setmqaut commands.  The queue manager appears to be
working fine and when I ran the amqoamd command I could see the oam
defaults that are set for musr_mqadmin, mqm and the queues that I created
under my id.

Months later I run the amqoamd command, amqoamd -m QMGRNAME -s, everywhere
the musr_mqadmin used to be listed, it now shows as follows:
setmqaut -m QMGRNAME -t qmgr FAIL  :  unresolved account +altusr
+connect   It is as if someone did something with musr_mqadmin,
but that id is there and is in the mqm group.  Any ideas as to what has
happened and do I need to do anything to fix it.

Re: setmqaut on unix

2004-09-29 Thread John Scott
Chapter 17 of the Sys Admin guide gives the following note, which implies it
is working as designed:

In WebSphere MQ for UNIX systems, if you specify a set of authorizations for
a principal, the same authorizations are given to all principals in the same
primary group.

It also says the following about UNIX platforms:

All ACLs are based on groups. When a user is granted access to a particular
resource, the user ID's primary group is included in the ACL, not the
individual user ID, and authority is granted to all members of that group.
Because of this, be aware that you could inadvertently change the authority
of a principal by changing the authority of another principal in the same
group.

Therefore, you won't be able to open a PMR for it as it is working as
designed.  You could try raising a change request however...

Does anyone know if IBM recognise the fact that setmqaut on unix doesn't
work for principals ( if you apply an authority setting to a principal, the
auth actually applies to the principal's primary group ) as a bug?

If not has anyone ever raised a PMR about this?

Re: RUNMQLSR

2004-09-29 Thread John Scott
You can issue the word start infront, as in:

start runmqlsr -t tcp -p 1441 -m QMgrName

Which will start the listener in another popup window. However, if you
logoff, this popup windows will get closed, as will the listener.  You need
to either use the MMC snapin to create a listener, or use the amqmdain to
create a listener.  See Chapter 17 of the Sys Admin Guide.

Re: setmqaut on unix

2004-09-29 Thread Wyatt, T Rob
This is working as designed and documented:

http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/html/csqzas01/csqzas010y.htm#HDRSP1WOUNWI
The OAM maintains an access control list (ACL) for each WebSphere MQ object it is 
controlling access to. On UNIX systems, only group IDs can appear in an ACL. This 
means that all members of a group have the same authorities. On OS/400 and on Windows 
systems, both user IDs and group IDs can appear in an ACL. This means that authorities 
can be granted to individual users as well as to groups.

TCP/IP Errors

2004-09-29 Thread Tony Boggis
Env: Solaris 5.8, WMQ 5.3 (CSD05).

I have been seeing recurring instances of TCP/IP errors being logged on
my queue managers:

---
09/29/04  03:30:39 PM
AMQ9213: A communications error for TCP/IP occurred.

EXPLANATION:
An unexpected error occurred in communications.
ACTION:
The return code from the TCP/IP(select) [TIMEOUT] 10 seconds call was 11
(X'B'). Record these values and tell the systems administrator.
- amqccita.c : 3075
---
09/29/04  03:30:39 PM
AMQ: Channel program ended abnormally.

EXPLANATION:
Channel program 'TO.AR1' ended abnormally.
ACTION:
Look at previous error messages for channel program 'TO.AR1' in the
error files
to determine the cause of the failure.
- amqrmrsa.c : 467



According to the docs I can find, the error 11 equates to EAGAIN or
No more processes. However, I do not have any events logged in system
level files.

Has anyone else seen this with any frequency? Is there anyway to link
these MQ errors to system events?

Re: Unresolved account error in oam

2004-09-29 Thread Wyatt, T Rob
John,

On windows, all accounts have two components - the human readable account name and the 
SID as stored in the SAM database.  Generally, you see the human-readable version 
while the SID us used under the covers (like in the MQ Auth Data queue).  If an 
account is deleted and recreated it gets a new and unique SID although you wouldn't 
know it from looking in the Users  Accounts dialog.  Is it possible that someone 
deleted the musr_mqadmin account and then recreated it?  This would account for what 
you are seeing.

We use many different types of servers with MQ but I am having a problem
with the oam on one server.  This server is a Win 2003 server running MQ
V5.3, CSD04.  The server has no oam settings in that oam is enabled but I
have not issued any setmqaut commands.  The queue manager appears to be
working fine and when I ran the amqoamd command I could see the oam
defaults that are set for musr_mqadmin, mqm and the queues that I created
under my id.

Months later I run the amqoamd command, amqoamd -m QMGRNAME -s, everywhere
the musr_mqadmin used to be listed, it now shows as follows:
setmqaut -m QMGRNAME -t qmgr FAIL  :  unresolved account +altusr
+connect   It is as if someone did something with musr_mqadmin,
but that id is there and is in the mqm group.  Any ideas as to what has
happened and do I need to do anything to fix it.

Re: MO72

Officially it is a CAT 2 AS IS Supportpac.

The party line would say:
Category 2 SupportPacs are provided in good faith and AS-IS. There is no
warranty or further service implied or committed and any supplied sample
code is not supported via IBM product service channels.

However having experienced Paul with regard to problems/bugs/feature
requests... the fact you can't go through IBM product service channels
speeds everything up a lot :-)))

I have not come across any living authors letting their babies drown or
get a bad rep.

So bottomline would be: officially no support, but the as is support is
often a lot better then the official support... (MHO!)

Due to popular demand I have put up a version of my MO72 SupportPac for
AIX, Solaris, Linux as well as Windows.

The zip file is available :-

ftp testcase.boulder.ibm.com
do an anonymous sign-in
cd ts/fromibm/mqseries
bin
get paul_mqsc.zip

It should work exactly the same although I haven't had a chance to test
fully. The one area where it's no as good is that it doesn't automatically
determine the width of your screen. If any one could tell me the simple way
of doing that on Unix I could add that in but as of now you have to say
something like =width=120 (or whatever).

Anyway, I would appreciate bug reports and confirmation that it works on
the different flavours/releases of Unix so I can then get this loaded up on
a web site.

Incidently, is anyone out there trying to use MO71 or MO72 over a slow
client link ?, I'd be interested in you geting in touch with me directly.

2004-09-29 Thread Tony Boggis
Seems to be my week for posting...

Env: Solaris 5.8, WMQ 5.3 (CSD05)

Cluster of 4 queue managers (2 full repos's of course). Custom cluster
workload exit installed. The CLWE (similar to the supplied sample)
checks the availability of the destination queue manager and channel
status before returning success. If the channel to the destination
queue manager is *not* running, the application gets a 2188 (as
expected) error code and reroutes messages to an available queue
manager.

We are doing out application failover testing. To do this we are
simulating host failure by disabling the NIC card on one of the hosts
(in this case it *happens* to be one of the full respos's).

Prior to the failure everything is fine... no errors. All cluster queues
are available. We fail the NIC. Channel goes to retrying.

Now, I can still put messages to the remaining cluster queue managers.

When I try to put a message to a queue on the failed queue manager,
instead of 2188's I am getting 2009's (after quite a delay).

I do have a generated FDC/FFST file that sez:

This points to the fact that my cluster workload exit may have caused an
exception and that my queue manager agent process may have crashed. Is
there any way (short of a queue manager restart) to recover from this?

FYI the exit is configured to run in FAST (CLWExitMode=FAST) mode.

Re: Cluster errors.

2004-09-29 Thread Neil Casey
Hi Tony,

I think you are out of luck with getting things going again if your
fastpath problem has crashed. You have potentially corrupted your queue
manager semaphore and shared memory space, so a restart is critical. You
should always test Cluster Workload Exits in normal mode exhaustively
before moving to fastpath mode for this reason.

Even if you were running in normal mode, a queue manager restart could be
required after an exit failure, as the cluster workload exit process would
have crashed. As far as I am aware, IBM doesn't provide a mechanism to
restart these internal qm processes manually. On the mainframe, the CLWL
task is restarted periodically after a failure (every 6000 seconds I
think). I don't remember whether the midrange version does anything
similar.

Re: Fw: Audit of configuration changes

2004-09-29 Thread Barry Lamkin
Bruce,

Hope all is well with you.

Your vote wins.   Some of the features of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for
WebSphere MQ will be incorporated into the OMEGAMON XE for MQ agent when
they both come together, next year.  The Candle Net Portal will be
maintained as the interface, renamed as the Tivoli Management Portal.

Not to be confused with IBM Tivoli Monitoring for WebSphere MQ.  Any hints
on what if any merging there will be between these two products?  My vote
would be to keep the former Candle product but give it better integration
with Tivoli.

If you look at the former Candle product now - IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON for MQ
you will find a very rich MQ configuration tool.  This tool allows you to
copy all your MQ objects into a central database through automatic
discovery.  Any changes to the configuration made through the tool is
logged for auditing purposes.  The tool also has an automatic scheduling
facility which as one of its functions is the ability to compare the
database objects against the actual environment.  If it detects a
discrepancy between the database and the actual environment a notification
report will be generated and the user will have the option of incorporating
the found differences into the database or to enforce the use of the tool
by returning the actual object back to the state it was in the database.

I don't like to advertise but it looks like you're looking for something
that only Nastel has so I feel compelled to answer. Nastel's AutoPilot/WMQ
(formerly known as MQControl) creates an event message/alert whenever any
object parameter changes, whether it is changed using AutoPilot or mqsc or
any other method.

Thanks Tim, this is an interesting piece of software, but unfortunately,
as far as I can tell it does not operate in conjunction with MQ Explorer.
If I am wrong on that, somebody please correct me because this would
then be what I am looking for.

Mike


 Have a look at the MQ wrapper: An audit trail is also
 created to monitor
 and log changes to the MQSeries configuration.

PeopleSoft MQ Adapter - ReplyToQueue info

2004-09-29 Thread Potkay, Peter M (ISD, IT)
Is there one or many PeopleSoft MQ adapters?

Do they all / Does it support respecting the ReplyToQueue and
ReplyToQueueManager of the incoming request message when it puts the reply
message?

What about the various MQMD_Report option on how MessageIDs and CorrelIDs
should be handled from the incoming request message to the outgoing reply
message?

Putafter event in Api exit

2004-09-29 Thread Donald Skidmore
Could anyone tell me how to get the object name from a put after event.
There is no reference to the MQOD and the resolved queue name in the PMO
structure is always a dynamic reply queue. The amqsaxe0.c is somewhat
anemic in this area.
