Error description
Installation of MS0T, WebSphere MQ (WMQ) Explorer SupportPac, is successful. An Eclipse dialog containing "JVM terminated. Exit code=1" error is displayed after attempting to start WMQ Explorer. The "-DMQCHLLIB" entry in the dialog ends with a double quotation mark e.g. -DMQCHLLIB=C:\some\path" If enabled, the WMQ Explorer trace does not create any files.
Local fix
Check value of MQCHLLIB to make sure it ends with \ If it does not, edit and save variable.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: This issue affects users of the MQCHLLIB environment variable and MS0T SupportPac on Windows Platform. Platforms affected: Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The problem is caused by invalid parsing of the MQCHLLIB environment variable. The MQCHLLIB specifies a path to the file containing the client channel definition table. This value is parsed during the startup of WMQ Explorer and if the value ends with a "\" the WMQ Explorer startup script attempts to remove it. Due to an error in the script, the "\" is not removed and the JVM is terminated with an error.
Problem conclusion
The fix ensures that the startup script removes the trailing "\" from the MQCHLLIB environment variable. The fix is provided in the strmqcfg.cmd file in the WMQ Explorer installation. As a workaround to the problem, users can take the following steps: 1. Open strmqcfg.cmd in a text editor and search for the line: if "%MQCHLLIB:~-1%"=="\" SET MQCHLLLIB=%MQCHLLIB:0,-1% 2. Replace MQCHLLLIB (Observe 3 'L's) with MQCHLLIB. 3. Replace MQCHLLIB:0,-1 with MQCHLLIB:~0,-1 The line should now read: if "%MQCHLLIB:~-1%"=="\" SET MQCHLLIB=%MQCHLLIB:~0,-1% 4. Save the modified file 5. Run the WMQ Explorer MS0T SupportPac --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.1.3 -------- -------------------- Windows U200320 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
