APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the iibswitch command is used to create a switch server, if
  the values for the MQSI_REGISTRY and MQSI_WROKPATH environment
  variable do not match then the command fails with the following
  error message:
  
  iibswitch create switch -c /var/mqsi/ace/switch/switch.json
  Creating the Switch server with configuration file
  '/var/mqsi/ace/switch/switch.json'.
  /home/davicrig/programs/mqsi/ace-11.0.0.13/server/bin/iibswitch:
  line 138: /var/mqsi/ace/registry/ACESWITCH_NODE_V11/CurrentVers
  ion/modeExtensions:No such file or directory
  
  
  BIP8081E: An error occurred while processing the command.
  
  An error occurred while the command was running; the command
  has cleaned up and ended.
  
  Use messages prior to this one to determine the cause of the
  error.
  
  Check for some common problems:
  
  Does the user id have the correct authorities (for example a
  member of the mqbrkrs group)?
  
  Is any operating system limit set too low to allow the command
  to run?
  
  Is the environment correctly set up?
  
  Correct the problem and retry the command, otherwise, contact
  your IBM support center.
  
  
  BIP8071I: Successful command completion.
  
  
  The error should be more descriptive and tell the user that
  these environment variables should point to the same location.
