Error description
The runmqsc administration tool is not able to correctly filter on the CHANNEL, APPLTAG or CONNAME attributes when using the 'DISPLAY QSTATUS(*) TYPE(HANDLE)' command. This restriction also applies to the equivalent PCF commands when attempting to filter on these attributes. For example: 5 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) all AMQ8450: Display queue status details. QUEUE(TESTQ) TYPE(HANDLE) APPLTAG(amqsputc) APPLTYPE(USER) BROWSE(NO) CHANNEL(CHANNEL1) CONNAME(127.0.0.1) HSTATE(INACTIVE) INPUT(SHARED) INQUIRE(YES) OUTPUT(NO) PID(12345) QMURID(12345) SET(NO) TID(12345) URID(XA_FORMATID[00000000] XA_GTRID[] XA_BQUAL[]) URTYPE(QMGR) USERID(user1) dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1') 6 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1') AMQ8565: Queue status not found. dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(APPLTAG eq 'amqsputc') 7 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(APPLTAG eq 'amqsputc') AMQ8565: Queue status not found. dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CONNAME eq '127.0.0.1') 8 : dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CONNAME eq '127.0.0.1') AMQ8565: Queue status not found.
Local fix
Blank pad the filter to the maximum length of the string. For example blank pad to 20 characters for filtering on the channel name: DISPLAY QSTATUS(*) TYPE(HANDLE) CHANNEL('abc ')
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users who take advantage of attribute filtering (RUNMQSC or PCF) on QSTATUS TYPE(HANDLE) for the attributes CHANNEL, APPLTAG and CONNAME. Platforms affected: All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The problem was caused by MQ storing the data for these attributes using one type of string padding for trailing blanks and trying to compare with the filter using another type of padding. This inconsistency resulted in match failures when these particular attributes were filtered on as their padding was interpreted as a difference in the strings.
Problem conclusion
The code was corrected to use the right sort of padding for these attributes so that they could be filtered on. A workaround for this problem is to pad the filter string out to the maximum length of the string with spaces. For example: instead of: dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1') use this instead (note the channel filter is padded to 20 characters): dis qs(TESTQ) type(handle) where(CHANNEL eq 'CHANNEL1 ') --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v6.0 Platform Fix Pack 6.0.2.10 -------- -------------------- Windows U200318 AIX U832558 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U833084 HP-UX (Itanium) U833088 Solaris (SPARC) U833085 Solaris (x86-64) U832557 iSeries tbc_p600_0_2_10 Linux (x86) U832545 Linux (x86-64) U833083 Linux (zSeries) U833089 Linux (Power) U833087 Linux (s390x) U833086 v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.1.3 -------- -------------------- Windows U200320 AIX U834987 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U834414 HP-UX (Itanium) U834413 Solaris (SPARC) U834986 Solaris (x86-64) U834210 iSeries tbc_p700_0_1_3 Linux (x86) U834415 Linux (x86-64) U834985 Linux (zSeries) U834412 Linux (Power) U835662 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
