Hi all,
In this thread, assume all MQ version are above 7.1
BlockIP2 binary is version 3 (most current)
The os versions are REHL 7 and in this special case an AIX.

While trying to standardize our BlockIP2 settings, we have found an Issue in some of our qm.ini.
It has never worked, to let scydata empty, to have a default BlockIP2.ini in place. We always had to use 'FN=/var/mqm/exits/BlockIP2.ini;' to get it work.
On the last investigation, I found on a clean install, that it definitely does work with an empty scydata, and so we started to configure all running queue managers, until we found a MQ 7.5, where it did not work.
After searching a while, we found, that in the qm.ini the defaultpathexits[64] was ending with a "/" (/var/mqm/exits/). Removing the slash and restarting the queue manager brought up, the default configuration with an empty scydata to work.
So we continued working on the list of all QMs undtil I got to an AIX with a MQ version 8 running, where I found the same behavior, that an empty scydata does not work.
When editing the qm.ini of the queue manager, I found no "/" on the end of the path, so it must be something else.

Does anyone know about such behavior and ever has found a solution?
