Hello All,

Hope you all are doing fine.

I am trying to use the "mqprofile" script supplied by IBM to automatically target my commands to the specific installation. The only difficulty is, i am not able to do it !

here is what i have done so far :

1. download the "mqprofile" script and place it under /etc/opt/mqm/ .

2. As prescribed, add it to .bash_profile under mqm user.

. /etc/opt/mqm/mqprofile

3. logout and log in again.

But its not getting sourced. I am unable to even debug it by editing the script to take debugging into account. When i tried to run it simply by issuing the command manually, then also iam unable to target my commands automatically to the specific installations.

I am using MQv8. Please let me know if anybody else has faced similar issue.


As always, Thanks for your never ending support !!

From where?

Why can't you use setmqenv ?

Hi mqjeff,

setmqenv has to be set each and every time if you are working with multiple installations. this "mqprofile" script is provided by "IBM" to simplify admin task by smartly targeting your commands to its associated installation.

Iam new to MQ, correct me if i am wrong anywhere

I haven't worked with mqprofile before, in fact, I hadn't heard of it.

So when I asked 'where', I meant http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21587504

Are you sure that the script is not getting sourced in your .bash_profile?

Are you sure that the mqm user has the necessary permissions to access the mqprofile script?

Have you asked your unix administrator for assistance?

Just a few notes on sourcing a script which might be helpful here.

When you source a script (i.e. put a period before the script at your shell prompt):

. /etc/opt/mqm/profile

you are telling your active shell to read in the script but execute the commands in your active shell process. This is helpful if the script is setting environment variables, so your active shell can pick up the environment variable changes, itself.

When you do not source a script:

/etc/opt/mqm/profile

you are telling your active shell to read in the script but then run the commands in the script as child processes (i.e. fork/exec). So any commands to set environment variables would then not be done in your current shell, but in the child processes that you fork/exec.

It sounded like you correctly sourced the script, but then logged out/in again. That would kill your shell that did have the script sourced inside it, and then start a new shell that does not have your script sourced inside it.

Good point. I did not read that original post, correctly.

I assume then the mqm id is set up to run with the bash script when it logs in? It sounds like .bash_profile is not getting executed when the mqm id logs in. I would check what shell is being used when the mqm id logs in:

i.e. grep mqm /etc/passwd

or check ps output

Actually , The thing is, its not even running when i tried to run it manually.
Also, the script has an inbuilt debugging capability and generates an output called "mqprofile.out". But Iam unable to see any fault in that too.

If anyone has been successful in using this script, please let me know..

If not, nevermind.. we can always source them each time we want using setmqenv.

Thanks for the support.

The mqprofile script is intended for POSIX compliant shells, the Bourne shell, and the Z shell.

So are you using one of those shells?

I encountered the exact same problem. mqprofile does not function as advertised in the IBM MQ support page. [url] ttps://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21587504#Old[/url] I setup mqm .bash_profile as specified (by IBM) and followed by running setmqenv as follows:

Code:
 .  /etc/opt/mqm/mqprofile

setmqenv -n Installation1 -x 64 -z


I have 8.0.0.5 and 9.0.4 queue managers on the server. when I try strmqm for the Installation1 qmgr, everything is good. but when I try strmqm for the Installation2 qmgr (8.0.0.5) I get the
Code:
 AMQ5691: Queue manager 'V8TEST1' is associated with a different installation
('Installation2').
message. That message is not supposed to appear when mqprofile is functioning.
I am running /bin /bash shell which is Posix compliant (according to my research via google)
