Hi ,
I have installed MQ V7.1 on my UBUNTU operating system and the installation was successful. But I am not able to run MQ commands from anywhere. I have to every time run the commands from /opt/mqm/bin.
After some research I understood that it is because my MQ installation is not PRIMARY. When I am trying to make the installation primary using the command "./setmqinst -i -p /opt/mqm/" I am getting the below error :
AMQ6294: Failed to create symbolic link with the name '/usr/lib64/libmqmzf.so'.
Error Number: 2
In the logs I see that the error is related to authorization.
----- amqiset0.c : 1015 -------------------------------------------------------
07/30/2012 09:38:30 PM - Process(2875.1) User(mqm) Program(setmqinst)
Host(ubuntu) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.1.0.0)
AMQ8584: Insufficient permission to update installation configuration.
EXPLANATION:
An attempt was made to update the WebSphere MQ installation configuration for
installation 'Installation1' path '/opt/mqm' but the request was rejected as
the current user does not have sufficient authority to make the update.
ACTION:
Issue the command from a user with sufficient authority to update the
installation configuration.
I tried running the command as 'root' and 'mqm' also. I am not sure where and what permissions I have to change so that I get authorization to change the installation to PRIMARY.
Any support is appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

What lead you to this conclusion? Perhaps you could add /opt/mqm/bin to your PATH.

I did try that Bruce. But still I am getting access issue. I have also changed permissions to all MQ folders to mqm:mqm with 777 access. But no luck.
Conclusion: when you run any MQ command from other location. It is suggesting me to check the documentation of how to make MQ installation as PRIMARY. So started digging from there. |

Don't change permissions on mq installs.
Ever.
Run setmqenv /s , specifying the full path to the installation you want to set as primary.
THEN run setmqinst.
But really, strongly consider NOT setting any primary instance, and set up procedures to run setmqenv in any shell that needs to talk to MQ.
Just like any env that talks to Broker should run mqsiprofile, any env that talks to MQ should run setmqenv. |

I would never change the permissions Jeff, but was desperate in trying everything.
It not the external applications which are not failing. I am trying to configure something which allows me run MQ command from anywhere. |

setmqenv /s should allow you to run setmqinst.
But I'd still recommend not running setmqinst and modifying your procedures to be aware of setmqenv so that you will have more control. |

Please be precise. Exactly what access issue? An error message of some kind?
If you can cd to /opt/mqm/bin to successfully execute supplied apps, then all you need to do is to add /opt/mqm/bin to your PATH.
If you want all logged in users to have /opt/mqm/bin in their PATH, modify the global login script to add /OPT/MQM/BIN to everyones PATH.

NO. Please don't do this. Please don't take this as best practice moving forward with MQ 7.1 and 7.5.
USE SETMQENV or SETMQINST.

Again, add SETMQENV to everyone's login script. DO NOT manually modify the path expecting it to be correct. |

I re-read the OP, and it's 7.1.

Hi Jedi, I have provided the log for authorization issue i am having when I run rumqinst. I will try to add setmqenv in the accounts home directory. Atleast 'mqm' user should be able to run MQ commands from anywhere.That is what I am trying to achieve. |

Yes i prefer this method. I was able to run setmqenv but not setmqinst. I will try to put in setmqenv in startup scripts for userid and check.

Strangely when 'mqm' user and group is created by MQ installation, it is not creating home directory for mqm userid. (/home/mqm). |

That's not strange. It's *wrong* but it's not *strange*.
The installer does not create a home directory for the mqm user, it sets the home directory for the mqm user to /var/mqm, despite this being a very bad idea for a home directory.
So the installer works as expected, but does what I believe is the wrong thing.
You should either manually create the mqm user yourself and give it a home directory that matches your site standards, or at least just use /home/mqm and change the mqm user to have that as it's home directory.
And then put setmqenv into the bash_profile (or whatever the login profile is for the shell you use - perhaps .kshrc or etc) of the mqm user. |

Finally I was able to resolve the issue by created the folder 'lib64' under /usr/ . that folder was missing and when I am running the command setmqinst, it was unable to create the folder.
Thanks for your responses and support. |

I had similar issue, unset the primary installation and set the Primary installation.. Sounds weird but it works
bash-4.1$ sudo ./setmqinst -x -p /usr/mqm/
AMQ8581: 'Installation1' (/usr/mqm) is not currently set as the Primary
Installation.
bash-4.1$ sudo ./setmqinst -i -p /usr/mqm
87 of 87 tasks have been completed successfuly.
'Installation1' (/usr/mqm) set as the Primary Installation |
