Error description
The ownership of some files in the subdirectory /opt/mqm/gskit8 beneath the WebSphere MQ product install directory /opt/mqm is set to a user ID and group ID that is not "mqm". The following example shows the incorrect ownership. -r-xr-xr-x 1 827 508 209 Aug 11 2011 copyright -r-xr-xr-x 1 827 508 313 Aug 11 2011 private_checkinstall -r-xr-xr-x 1 827 508 313 Aug 11 2011 private_postinstall -r-xr-xr-x 1 827 508 4535 Aug 11 2011 ReadMe.txt There is no harm to WebSphere MQ functionality, but the files ought to be owned by mqm:mqm, not by user 827 group 508. On some systems these IDs might potentially correspond to a real user or group, so will appear as names not numbers. However, in most cases they will not correspond to a real user or group, and the numbers above will be displayed.
Local fix
The files could be changed to mqm:mqm ownership by the user using the chown command, if required.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users installing WebSphere MQ on Solaris operating systems. There is no impact to the functionality of the product because of this defect. Platforms affected: Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86-64 **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The files listed in the Error Description were being left out of the list of files that need mqm:mqm ownership. The WebSphere MQ install scripts were therefore not setting the ownership on these files correctly. There is no impact to functionality of the product, but the files ought to be owned by mqm:mqm, not by user 827 group 508.
Problem conclusion
This problem is fixed by ensuring that the latest data for the subscription user is stored after an alter request to a subscription object so that the new value persists over queue manager restart. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v7.0 7.0.1.13 v7.1 7.1.0.6 v7.5 7.5.0.4 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
