Hi everyone
This is really frustrating me.
In a Broker 6.1 environment I need to find out the location of the .bar files that are currently deployed. It is a Linux server. How can this information be found out using only the tools/commands available on the linux server? (ie no toolkit).
I am wishing to find this info out so I can actually winscp the .bar files off the server.
I thought there would be some sort of mqsi command which would show this information.

Barfiles are located where you deployed them from. There is not set directory for them in V6.1 or any other directory for that matter.
Therefore, do you mean the following:-
"Where are the .bar files stored on a V6.1 Linux System after they have been deployed to it?"
If this is correct, then the answer is:-
There isn't one. The contents of the .BAR files are extracted (it is .zip format) and deployed around the system according to their object type. There is no one place that they reside. Perhaps you were thinking that they were like .jar files on an ApplicationServer setup?
If I'm wrong please explain in a bit more detail as to what you mean.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

As previous reply with the addition that you can do it with mqsi-commands in WMB7 (not sure if it was already in GA or introduced in FP).
Don't help you much though if you are on 6.1 
mqsilist now has a detail level (output below is from my WMB8 laptop but I verified it on a WMB7.0.0.3 running on AIX as well).
| Code: |
mqsilist MB8BROKER -e default -d2
BIP1288I: Message flow 'Video_Test' on execution group 'default' is running.
Additional thread instances: '0'
Deployed: '2012-09-12 11:15' in Bar file 'C:/var/workspaces/wmbt80/GeneratedBarFiles/Video Message Flows/Video_Test.msgflow.generated.bar'
|
After in a 6.1 migration project trying to track down correct versions of flows I know that sometimes you need this information unfortunately. (during migration svn-keywords and proper buildtools where introduced so that we now know 100% where the flows are originating from...) |

Hence the importance of Source Code Control system. Didn't your company store the source code in a Source Code Version Control System?
If not, why not? Lessons learned.

Have you looked at the CMP API exerciser? You should be able to retrieve the same information as when using the toolkit. And by the way the toolkit is available for the Linux86 platform... whether you installed it or not!

Just one other point about the v6.1 Toolkit: If you can connect to your Broker from a Toolkit in Admin mode (via QMgr and ConfigMgr), when you click on a deployed flow, etc, the same deployed-from info that mapa pointed out is available via mqsilist, also shows up on the Toolkit in the Properties panel, no matter how it was actually deployed. Neither tell you what physical machine actually deployed it, but usually the barfile path gives you a pretty good clue.
And regarding the bar file contents, I'm pretty sure they can be found in one form in the broker's config manager's BERNARD database, (How else would the deploy info be available to mqsilist and various Toolkits beside the deployer's? You can see the path data in BERNARD\log's lognn.dat files). But how you would successfully retrieve anything useful out of those \seg0\ xxxx.dat files is beyond me. Besides, there is a lock on it for a reason. |
