Error description
An MQ installation was upgraded on AIX from MQ v9.1.0.5 to MQ v9.3.0.4. After the upgrade completed, the 'mqconfig' utility was run to validate the system requirements. The 'mqconfig' utility reported the following message: $ /usr/mqm/bin/mqconfig -v 9.3 mqconfig: IBM MQ V9.3 requires AIX 7.2 Technology Level 2 or later. This AIX 7.2 installation is at Technology Level 4. The system AIX OS level was reported as: $ oslevel -s 7200-04-01-1939 indicating that the AIX version reported by 'mqconfig' was correctly stated as: 7.2 installation is at Technology Level 4. Yet 'mqconfig' also reported that MQ V9.3 requires: 7.2 installation is at Technology Level 2 or later
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of MQ v9.3 on AIX 7.2 who are running the 'mqconfig' utility while the version of AIX was earlier than: AIX 7.2 Technology Level 5 Platforms affected: AIX **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The minimum version of AIX 7.2 required to use MQ 9.3 is: AIX 7.2 Technology Level 3 as reported in the IBM MQ 9.2 System Requirements documentation. However the 'mqconfig' utility was coded to report a problem if the version of AIX was less than: AIX 7.2 Technology Level 5 Furthermore, if 'mqconfig' reported that your version of AIX 7.2 did not meet the requirements for MQ 9.3, it would incorrectly report that the minimum required version was: AIX 7.2 Technology Level 2
Problem conclusion
The 'mqconfig' utility has been updated to check and report that the required version of AIX is: AIX 7.2 Technology Level 3 For example, if the version of AIX which MQ 9.3 is installed on is: AIX 7.2 Technology Level 1 then the utility will correctly report: $ /usr/mqm/bin/mqconfig -v 9.3 mqconfig: IBM MQ V9.3 requires AIX 7.2 Technology Level 3 or later. This AIX 7.2 installation is at Technology Level 1. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.3 LTS 9.3.0.20 v9.4 LTS 9.4.0.0 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'IBM MQ Recommended Fixes' https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/recommended-fixes-ibm-mq If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'IBM MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' https://ibm.biz/mqplannedmaintenance ---------------------------------------------------------------
