Hi, I'm trying to "fix" an WMQ 5.3 (no CSD) installation on Solaris 8.
It seems the SA's monkeyed around with the /usr/lib/locale directory and wiped out the amq.cat file. I had them copy it from another Solaris 8 server with the same level of WMQ. Now dspmq shows the QM statuses, but not the QM names and the tab (spaces):

Code:

-bash-3.00$ dspmq
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended unexpectedly)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended normally)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended normally)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended unexpectedly)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended immediately)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended unexpectedly)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended unexpectedly)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended unexpectedly)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended immediately)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended immediately)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended immediately)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Running)
QMNAME(%3)%4STATUS(Ended immediately)
-bash-3.00$


I'd rather just fix this installation instead of re-installing. I searched this forum but no luck. Any ideas on what is still missing? THanks in advance!!

Just grasping at straws here. If I saw this I would first look to see if /var/mqm/mqs.ini still exists. What are its contents?

By the way, why don't you apply a CSD? Its all the way up to CSD12 now.

Hi Peter,
/var/mqm/mqs.ini still exists, and in fact got updated when I created a new QM this morning to test it. So it seems to be working OK from a very basic standpoint. I can also stop/start QM's with no FDC's or errors.

As far as the CSD goes, yes we are a little behind, but even our Production servers are only at CSD05. So I could apply that but for anything higher, I'd need to recommend it, and it would have to be tested, etc. etc. Which we could do but so far our Production is working fine. I work at a mid-to-large-size company with tons of procedures in place... This is good and bad.

You could try using pkgchk mqm to identify any discrepancies between the files on the machine and what was installed.

just out of curiosity, what happens when you run the following?

Code:
# echo "dis qmgr" | runmqsc QMGRNAME | grep QMNAME


what is the output?

Thanks for the suggestions...I don't have privelege to properly run pkgchk command, but your other commands worked.

[/code]
-bash-3.00$ echo "dis qmgr" | runmqsc WEB2005 | grep QMNAME
COMMANDQ(SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE) QMNAME(WEB2005)
-bash-3.00$
Code:


I just discovered that another team asked our UNIX team to upgrade this box from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 and didn't put us in the loop.  And apparently there are some differences between Solaris 8 and 10 which affect WMQ.  So do we need to remove this installation and install WMQ 5.3 for Solaris 10?  Is there such a thing?

Nothing special for Solaris 10 according to this link.

thanks peter. that's good to know. probably when they did the OS upgrade, they didn't bring back over all of the files. I had them recopy amq.cat and that allowed me to see the statuses, but apparently there are some other files that have some MQ system variables. This is a Development box, so if I can't figure it out soon we can probably just re-install.

With Solaris 10 you may have a feature called "zoning". Ask you Solaris guys for more information. One effect I know is, that you may have no local /etc/system but a global one instead - which defines attributes for several zones (and may be overwritten by single zones).

Do you use "zoning"?
