APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The 'test tcp-connection' provides the option of giving IP address or hostname of the target. For example: Syntax for 'test tcp-connection' using IP address: test tcp-connection address port [seconds] Syntax for 'test tcp-connection' using host name: test tcp-connection hostname port [seconds] [IP-version] In either case when timeout value is provided in seconds as the argument described by the documentation, this value is incorrectly considered as IP version value. This reports an error that the IP version value is invalid. For example: test tcp-connection 9.xx.xx.xxx 1414 10 % Use IP version '10' is not valid
Local fix
Swap the positions of [timeout] and [IP-version] as a workaround. In the following example workaround, -4 specifies IPv4 with a timeout of 5 seconds "test tcp-connection TESTHOST 1414 -4 5"
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All MQ appliance users will be affected. Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The order of options for the 'test tcp-connection' connection are misinterpreted. The timeout value is interpreted as IP version which can throw an invalid value error.
Problem conclusion
The code has been modified to interpret the options for 'test tcp-connection' command correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.1 CD 9.1.3 v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.2 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
