Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR updates the GSKit component supplied with IBM MQ versions 7.1, 7.5, 8.0 and 9.0 to the level: 8.0.50.75
Problem conclusion
This APAR updates the GSKit component level for the following platforms: AIX HP-UX (IA64) Linux (x86-32) Linux (x86-64) Linux PPC64 Linux PPC64 Little Endian zLinux Solaris (x86-64) Solaris (SPARC) Windows (x86-32) Windows (x86-64) Please note that not all platforms are applicable for every MQ release. *** Attention *** This update alters the stash file format used when generating a .sth file to stash the key database password. Stash files generated by this level of the GSKit component will not be readable by earlier levels of the GSKit component. To ensure compatibility, any applications or other installations should be updated to a version of MQ containing at least GSKit 8.0.50.69 if using a stash file generated with this level of GSKit. If it is not possible to update applications or other installations, a backwards-compatible stash file format may be requested by supplying the "-v1stash" command line parameter to the runmqakm or runmqckm commands when using the "-stash" or "-stashpw" options to request a stash file be generated. It is not possible to generate a backwards-compatible stash file when using the iKeyman GUI. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.5 7.5.0.8 v8.0 8.0.0.7 v9.0 CD 9.0.2 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.1 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
