IT37140: DOCUMENTATION FOR MQSICREATEBROKER INCORRECTLY CLAIMS THAT THE AUTOSTART OPTION IS AVAILABLE ON LINUX AND AIX

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The mqsicreatebroker command on Windows takes an optional
  argument -S which specifies whether the integration node system
  service should be set to automatically start when the system
  starts. On Linux and AIX no system service is created my
  mqsicreatebroker and so the -S option is not available. The
  documentation page https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/11.0
  .0?topic=command-mqsicreatebroker-linux-aix-systemsincorrectly c
  AIX.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11 or v12 on Linux on
  AIX platforms.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  AIX, Linux on Power platform, Linux on x86-64 platform, Linux on
  zSeries platform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The documentation for the mqsicreatebroker command incorrectly
  claims that the -S autostart option can be specified on Linux
  and AIX to create the integration node as a system service that
  will automatically start when the system starts. This
  functionality is only available on the Windows platform and is
  not available on other platforms.
  

Problem conclusion

• The documentation for the mqsicreatebroker command for Linux and
  AIX has been updated to remove references to the -S autostart
  parameter.
  

Temporary fix
