You have to re-compile the 32-bit pre-built file.

Tibor,

What do you mean when you say:

Do you mean it has to be recompiled with the 64 bit MQSeries libraries? We are running into similar issues while getting blockip to work with MQSeries 6.0.

Has anyone been able to get blockip working with MQSeries 6.0?

Any help is appreciated

Why would you trust your production security to an unsupported piece of software?

All v6 queue managers that run on 64bit platforms, other than Windows, are 64bit queue managers.

You need both a 32bit and a 64bit version of the exit. If BlockIP2 doesn't come with a 64bit library, then you'll have to recompile it.

If you have trouble with the compilation options, you can open a trouble-ticket with the company that supports this exit. Since there is no company that supports this exit, you have to cross your fingers and hope that the author (who is a frequent poster here) has some time to help you.

And then cross your fingers that the exit doesn't silently fail at some point and leave your production environment open. Of course, you take that same risk with commerical security software, but you usually have more recourse if it DOES happen with commercial security software.

Jeff,

Thanks for the follow up response. I understand the issues with support which is why I am looking to this forum for assistance. The problem we are having is more related to 32/64 bit library compatability (ELF, fail to load). So I guess I could have worded it this way:

Should a 32 bit (shared object) exit have to be recompiled to 64 bit in order to run/work with MQSeries 6.0 (64 bit) on Unix?

Now you mention we need both a 32 bit and 64 bit version of the exit, is that just for compatability with MQSeries 5.3 queue managers and/or Windows running MQSeries 6.0, which is also 32 bit?

You need both 32 bit and 64 bit libraries ONLY on 64 bit platforms and ONLY for v6.

That is, only on machines that have an exits64 directory.

So you don't need both on a 5.3 machine, and you don't need both on Windows.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that server side channel exits *have* to be 64-bit in v6. ie. no reason to provide a 32-bit version.

Cheers
Steve

I don't know if you're wrong.

It seems like, regardless of the exit, you need both.

This may not be the way things are supposed to work, either.

Shouldn't it not read:
/var/mqm/exits64//BlockIP2 ?

Next: let us see the channel definition where you specified SCYEXIT(..)
Try:
ldd BlockIP2 in /var/mqm/exits64
file BlockIP2 in /var/mqm/exits64
ls -l BlockIP2 in /var/mqm/exits64

Jeff: Maybe I should just withdraw the exit or at least the binaries... so it just are for inspiration.
