APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The attribute "ValidateAuth" was set to "No" in the Filesystem
stanza of the qm.ini file e.g. :

  Filesystem:
      ValidateAuth= No

and the permissions of the queue manager log files were changed.
 The ValidateAuth
attribute should have ensured that the permissions of log files
would be unaltered when the
queue manager rolled the logs over, but in fact the permissions
of AMQERR01.LOG
changed unexpectedly on rollover.

Local fix

  • if  we "export AMQ_WRITEMSG=NORENAMEAMQERR01"  , Issue can be
avoided.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
USERS AFFECTED:
All Users who have set
ValidateAuth=No in the qm.ini file.


Platforms affected:
MultiPlatform

****************************************************************
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When logs rolled over and new AMQERR01.LOG file was created, a
defect in the MQ code meant that the file permissions were not
modified to match those of the old file.

Problem conclusion

  • The IBM MQ code has been modified so that the error log file
permissions are retained when a new log file is created.
