Ok, I enabled Auth events, restarted my QMGR, tried to use my app in pub/sub mode, went to browse the "SYSTEM.ADMIN.QMGR.EVENT" queue and saw that it has two messages in there. However, it's pretty cryptic,....the message data is this: "$" for both of them....what am I looking for exactly?
thanks,
Chris |

The Monitoring MQ manual, where the event message format is discussed in detail

Ok, I have looked through the manual in regards to my problem and even did a search for as to what "$" could mean in the message data field but it is not helping....do you know what "$" means?
Thanks again,
Chris |

The entire event message is 1byte - "$"?? 
That's messed up. That's PMR messed up.

Program Maintenance/Management/Something Request. IBM support call.
The event message as described in the manual is considerably longer than 1 byte. You have grounds for complaint if the queue manager is short changing you like that.

Could it be that you get only 1 byte because you treat it like a string and the second byte is 0x00 (a c string terminator)?

Hello and thanks for replying. I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to. I'm viewing the contents of the SYSTEM.ADMIN.QMGR.EVENT Queue in MQ Explorer. When I look at the properties of the message on it it shows me that the "Message Data" property is a dollar sign ($), however it says the datalength is 104. I have no clue as to what this is referring to.
All this aside, maybe I should better describe my environment and setup because perhaps there is an issue there somewhere.
I have WebSphere MQ windows client installed on my pc. My xms.net connects to our WebSphere MQ Server across our network.
Now, when I downloaded the windows MQ client I ran the installer and that was it. NO setting of any environment variables or anything else.
When my xms.net connects point-point it all works fine. However when it connects pub/sub it does not.
Is there some setting for the client (i.e. environment variables) that must be set for pub/sub to work whereas it obviously doesn't require it for point-to-point?
Thanks Again! |

It means that the message is 104 bytes long even though Explorer is only able to show this $. You're probably better off browsing the message off with RFHUTILC and examning the contents there.

No. The difference is in the message format

Security Errors only show up in the Windows MQ error logs. Not on UNIX. On UNIX you will have to turn on the Authority Events to see what the 2035 errors are specifically complaining about. You can turn it on for Windows as well but it will just show you what the error logs and event viewer are already showing.
I'm curious what the problem ended up being.
