I am migrating my 5.3 MQ servers to 6.0 and have run across something strange. After installing MQ6 fresh and configuring the Qmgr to start automatically the QMGR does not startup after a reboot. I looked at my MQ servers that were upgraded from 5.3 to 6.0 and the only thing that I noticed was a missing key in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\Configuration\Services\QMGR_NAME\Queue Manager]
"RecAction"=dword:00000001
"ServiceType"=dword:00000004
"RecDelay"=dword:00000001
"RecAttempts"=dword:00000003
"Startup"=dword:00000001
The upgraded servers have these settings and startup automatically, however, the fresh install servers do not have these settings in the registry and DO NOT startup automatically after a reboot or stop\start the MQ service which is set to Automatic.
How is this key populated?
I have tried using both AMQMDAIN.exe AUTO QMGR_NAME and setting the QMGR to AUTOMATIC using the MQ Explorer, both with bad results after a reboot.

Using the Eclipse WebShpere Explorer.
Highlight the queue manager in the left hand pane.
Right click it and select "Properties"
Then change the start up value to Automatic. |

I have tried that. It sets the QMGR to Automatic but after reboot or stop\start the IBM MQSeries Service the QMGR does not startup. Even though the Eclipse MQ Explorer shows the QMGR as set to Automatic.

Is the IBM MQ Service set to Automatic in Services?

Yes. I was reading some of the older topics and verified everything that was mentioned before posting this one. It is weird b/c if I simply import that registry setting everything works. THe part I do not understand is why the Explorer reflects the QMGR as set to Automatic but will not startup after a reboot.

After setting the startup to AUTO did you check the Registry to see whether the key had been written? It may be that it is either not being written or is not being 'hardened' in the Registry, hence disappearing on reboot.

Vennela: What bootup logs are you referring to?
exerk: Yes, I checked the registry to see if it did in fact write the information but it did not. I tried refreshing and stop\starting the QMGR but did not see anything. Upon reboot the QMGR would not start.

Check the userid you are using WMQExplorer under has rights to update the Registry; I suspect that policy settings may be preventing the write to Registry.

This appears to have worked. I checked the upgraded servers and they have the domain\MQM group with full permissions.
Thanks for your assistance!!
