| Well sorry I tried both the MQ7 and MQ6. |
Don't try and confuse us with your mind games. It's only going to work...

One of my associates from the site where I did the sparse zone install has just emailed me. He's also put a few sites between him and there but he shares my recolection that we tried this and gave up because we couldn't get it to work; regrettably neither of us can remember what wasn't working, just long nights, bad coffee (and cheap hotel rooms - very hard to get a decent room in that part of London) and a decision after a few weeks that we'd try something else.
But your error does not sound that familar quite frankly. If you put a gun to my head I'd say (after I said "oh no, not again") that the install "worked", it was actually running & using the product where our wheels fell off.
Utterly unhelpful to you in your situation I'm afraid, but that's the best information I can give.

Hi Philip,
Thanks for your input. I tried running -v in the pkgadd and ran it. Here is the output.
ROOT@xxxxxxxx:/tmp/mqserver # pkgadd -v -d .
The following packages are available:
1 gsk7bas Certificate and SSL Base Runtime (gsk7bas)
(sparc) 7.0.3.15
2 gsk7bas64 Certificate and SSL Base Runtime (gsk7bas64)
(sparcv9) 7.0.3.15
3 mqm WebSphere MQ for Sun Solaris
(sparcv9) 6.0.0.0

Aah, I hadn't realised that this was Version 6 , there is additional diagnostic information in the Version 7 checkinstall script.
However I am sure that the reason for this is that the checkinstall script is running as the non-privileged user 'noaccess' or
'nobody' which is unable to read the /tmp/mqserver/mqm/root/opt/mqm/bin/amqiclen file. The checkinstall script is run by
pkgadd as user 'install' if that user exists otherwise as user 'nobody' or 'noaccess' ( which one depends on the level of Solaris,
there have been a number of patches in this area.) . You have a couple of options to proceed:
Change the permisssions on the /tmp/mqserver directory tree so that the noaccess or nobody user has read access.
Create a user 'install' that has access to that directory structure.

Woww Thanks Philip, That actually worked. I changed the directory permission of mqinstall directory and it went futher in the installation process. Now the problem is i expected it to Fail in a Soalris sparse zone(as i was trying to install the original package) but continued and said partially failed. When i try to uninstall its failing
ROOT@xxxxxx:/var/mqm # pkgrm mqm
The following package is currently installed:
mqm WebSphere MQ for Sun Solaris
(sparcv9) 7.0.1.3
Do you want to remove this package? [y,n,?,q] y

Is there a way i can uninstall it or totally remove the directories and restart from scratch |

In fact these kind of errors are caused by a WMQ packaging bugs (see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21317904 for more info). During a fixpack certain symbolic links have become actual files.
The solution is to manually cleanup the "Solaris package file index" (/var/sadm/install/contents). You should grep this file for the package you are uninstalling. For example:
| Code: |
| grep mqm-06-00-02-04 /var/sadm/install/contents|grep " s " |
This will give you all symbolic links part of the package. Now check which links are no links actually (real symbolic links are of the form filename=filename) and replace the "s" by "?". Example:
| Code: |
| /opt/mqm/ssl/lib/sparc/client/libjsig.so s none -mqm-06-00-02-04 +mqm |
should be replaced by
| Code: |
| /opt/mqm/ssl/lib/sparc/client/libjsig.so ? none -mqm-06-00-02-04 +mqm |
After this run pkgrm again and it should work.  |
