I have a set of VM's (Windows Server 2008R2 + MSCS Cluster) that I'm doing a POC on the upgrade of a MQ 7.0.8 + Broker V7.0.0.4 upgrade to MQ 8.0.0.2 + IIB 9.0.0.3
Everything was fine until I upgraded MQ to 8.0.0.2
since then MQExplorer starts up saying
| Code: |
Could not create the view: com.ibm.etools.wmadmin.broker.explorer.eventlog.view
|
The .link files are in their expected locations
| Code: |
C:\IBM>dir/s/p *.link
Directory of C:\IBM\WMQ7\MQExplorer\eclipse\links
04/07/2015 08:16 AM 27 com.ibm.wmadmin.broker.explorer.link

IIB was at 9.0.0.2. Upgrading to 9.0.0.3 does not see any changes.
Anyone any thoughts on how I can resolve this?
My next step is to either
1) uninstall IIB totally and re-install it
OR
2) go back to the working V7 vm's and apply the MQ 8 + IIB 9 upgrades again but this time going straight to MQ 8.0.0.2 , IIB 9.0.0.3
Anyone any thoughts on how I can resolve this?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

It appears that uninstalling IIBExplorer and installing it again seems to solve the problem.

Taking MQ explorer and IIB explorer outside and shooting them would be my advice.
I have nothing but trouble with these products.

IBM would seem to agree with you, though like all IBM products and personnel they will enjoy a process of retirement rather than brutal slaughter.

Ok, in IIB10 this is all done via a Browser.
This is all well and good but IMHO, is it dog slow just like a WAS console.
I guess that for V11 it will be intrgrated into the WAS Console (Sigh).
Lets hope I decide to retire before then.,

If not in Eclipse and not in a browser, then where?
Despite the increasingly WAS-like topology of IIB, I doubt they're ditch one dependancy (MQ) and add another (WAS). Which is not to say that there will not be capabilities to administer IIB from the WAS console but I doubt it will be the only way.
Frankly, if you could administer IIB from WAS, this site probably would.

So we bid farewell to @smdavies99, who died spitting blood as a thousand developers all built their own administration interfaces for their own objects. May he REST in peace.....

Don't get me wrong, I love their function. I just hate the fact that MQ explorer locks up, views fail to open, etc etc.
The IIB web admin is basic - has limited (or in fact none at all) navigation over multiple brokers and is generally a long way from being as complete as IBX.
The MQ web admin - well, let's just not even go there.

Hey! I ain't gone/going yet. I have 3.4 years to go to reach my Gov Retirement date.
The question is, will I put up with being employed for that long?
When I stop enjoying what I do then it will be time to retire and start my new career well away from anything IT related.

It is. About 3 years or 2 versions if you want my personal opinion; the length of retirement the Explorer can look forward to.

4 years or 3 versions. Less if they plagurize (sorry, research) the code from IIB.
