Error description
With the MQ client trigger monitor (runmqtmc) on AIX, after applying MQ Version 8.0.0.5 and starting an application the LIBPATH is empty in the started application. This only affects the user if runmqtmc is connected over a client channel using SSL/TLS functionality. The same issue would affect any other application that behaves like runmqtmc in this case: that is, it connects to the queue manager using SSL/TLS functionality, then starts a second application that relies on the value of LIBPATH.
Local fix
- Change the application to set LIBPATH how it needs it, or - Change the APPLICID attribute of the process definition in MQ so that it starts your application program via a shell script that first corrects the LIBPATH.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: An empty LIBPATH might not cause any issues for your triggered application. But if your triggered application relies on the contents of LIBPATH, this issue might result in your application loading similar-named libraries from the wrong location. The issue affects an application that is started by the client-bound trigger monitor (runmqtmc) running on an AIX system when runmqtmc is connected over a client channel using non-empty SSLCIPH. That is, SSL/TLS function is being used by runmqtmc. The problem was introduced via changes made in 8.0.0.5. Platforms affected: AIX **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Before loading the GSKit libraries that provide the SSL/TLS connection, MQ code was setting the LIBPATH in an incorrect way.
Problem conclusion
The MQ code has been corrected to set the LIBPATH in the correct way. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v8.0 8.0.0.8 v9.0 CD 9.0.4 v9.0 LTS 9.0.0.2 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
