APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The following errors may be generated in the IBM MQ Appliance v9.3.x default-log and diag-log when the status part of the SNMP MIB is queried, e.g. mqStatusQueueManagersStatusTable. 20230412T103434.885Z [0x82e00005][b2bp][error] : tid(218991):The persistence store is not running 20230519T195336.589Z [0x88c0028b][apigw][error] : tid(2176847): No rate-limit gateway peering is set in gateway peering manager.
Local fix
The error messages can be suppressed from the default-log by creating an Event Suppression Filter to exclude the 0x82e00005 and 0x88c0028b event codes. Unfortunately, the same cannot be achieved with the diag-log.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users querying SNMP MIB against an IBM MQ Appliance Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The IBM MQ Appliance firmware was incorrectly attempting to query the objects b2bp and apigw that are not applicable to MQ when the user issued a query to get SNMP MIB. This caused unexpected error messages related to b2bp and apigw objects to be generated in the logs.
Problem conclusion
The IBM MQ Appliance firmware has been changed to ensure only the status objects relevant to MQ are queried. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.3 LTS 9.3.0.10 v9.x CD 9.3.4 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------
