IT32434: Exclude /sys filesystem entries from MQ Appliance error report

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The error-report on the MQ Appliance includes many placeholder
  files (0 byte) from the /sys file system.
  Sometimes, there is a very large number of these entries which
  causes the error-report to be truncated.

Problem summary

  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of the IBM MQ appliance
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When generating an MQ Appliance error report, for diagnostic
  purposes, the appliance includes file listings from relevant
  filesystems. Under load, it is expected for many zero-byte files
  to exist under the /sys filesystem, however these are unlikely
  to be relevant for diagnostic purposes. Due to the number of
  these files, their presence could cause other more useful
  information to be truncated from the error report.
  

Problem conclusion

• The MQ appliance error report logic has been modified to exclude
  the /sys file system entries from the error report.
