PH28510: MQSICHANGEFILEAUTH WITH 'ALL+' DOES NOT WORK IN JCLS ON ZOS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The mqsichangefileauth command has an option to use 'all+'
  under the -p flag. Whilst this works fine on all other
  platforms, on zOS '+' is reserved as a continuation in JCL.
  
  We
  have added another option to use 'alla' rather than '+' and
  'allr' rather than '-' so that
  the mqsichangefileauth command can be successfully issued using
  JCL, thus:
  
  mqsichangefileauth MQTSBRK -r iibAdmin -p alla
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All zOS users of IBM Integration Bus V10 attempting to run the
  mqsichangefileauth command using JCL.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The mqsichangefileauth command has an option to use 'all+'
  under the -p flag. Whilst this works fine on all other
  platforms, on zOS '+' is reserved as a continuation in JCL.
  
  We
  have added another option to use 'alla' rather than 'all+' and
  'allr' rather than 'all-' so that
  the mqsichangefileauth command can be successfully issued using
  JCL, thus:
  
  mqsichangefileauth MQTSBRK -r iibAdmin -p alla
  

Problem conclusion

• Customers wishing to run the mqsichangefileauth command via JCL
  should replace 'all+' with 'alla' and 'all-' with 'allr' , this
  is required in order as '+' and '-' are both reserved in JCL.
  Customers issuing the command via USS can continue to use 'all+'
  and 'all-' should they wish.
