So I installed MQ Client V8.0.0.5 on Win7 64bit.
made a file mqclient.ini in a test directory with:
| Code: |
TCP:
KeepAlive=Yes
ClientExitPath:
ExitsDefaultPath=C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQ\exits
ExitsDefaultPath64=C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQ\exits64
CHANNELS:
ChannelDefinitionDirectory=C:\Temp\MQClientTest
ChannelDefinitionFile=TEST.tab
DefRecon=YES |
This link at #2 says it should pick up the mqclient.ini from the current directory. When I run:
runmqsc -n
it is trying to build the default CCDT in the default location and it is not picking up my location from the mqclient.ini file.
what gives?
I would open a PMR but my client does not feel like it because the ENV vars works...
You know, all I can think of is because I use the -n option, it is not looking at the mqclient.ini at all no matter where I put it... |

OK, extracts the following from the link are:
| Quote: |
...A file called mqclient.ini in the present working directory of the application...
...A file called mqclient.ini in the IBM MQ data directory for Windows, UNIX and Linux systems... |
So, where is runmqsc executing from and where is your test directory?

C:\Temp for the mqclient.ini and where I run the program.
My testing shows that when I actually connect to a Qmgr, it is reading the mqclient.ini file. When I use "runmqsc -n" it is not. This is inconsistent with the equivalent environment variables MQCHLLIB and MQCHLTAB which are respected when in effect.
I'm sure a PMR will result in a "works as designed" but the two things are inconsistent. |

So C:\Temp has a copy of runmqsc in it?

Of course not! When you install MQ Client it will set a default instance which puts all the commands in your PATH.
Just because the program lives in some other directory does not mean that directory is the present working directory. That is the directory where you start the program.

Hence my question of whether you had a copy of runmqsc in C:\Temp. Have you tried putting a copy of the mqclient.ini file in the same directory with runmqsc and seeing what happens?

Check this link out:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_7.1.0/com.ibm.mq.doc/cs13360_.htm
I interpreted #2 the way exerk did, but I'm not sure on this.
For Ha-Has, try #1. Set the MQCLNTCF variable pointing to wherever you have the file, then run runmqsc from wherever you are and see if that helps?
