IT43862: SDCP FAILS WHEN RUN FROM WITHIN A QUEUE MANAGER DIRECTORY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When SDCP is run from the directory of a queue manager
  (within var/mqm/qmgrs/*), it fails.
  

Local fix

• Do not run SDCP from within a queue manager directory.
  

Problem summary

• SDCP copies the queue manager directories into the directory
  it is run from, and so if it is run in a queue manager
  directory it will try to copy the current directory into
  itself, thus recurring and failing.
  

Problem conclusion

• Disallowing the running of SDCP within queue manager directories
