Hi all,
I have four QM in cluster environment. I just modified two QM's port number(one full and one partial), I also reconfigured clussdr and clusscvr to use the new port. after that I recycle all four QM, refresh cluster, and trying to restart the channels but some channels keep staying in retrying mode. I see that the channel which are in retrying is still pointing to the old port. pls advise, how can I refresh the channel so that it will use my new settting.
Thanks in advance |

On the Partial Repository with the retrying channels, issue:
| Code: |
REFRESH CLUSTER(*) REPOS(YES)
|
If you have Full Repositories with this problem, you cannout use the REPOS(YES) option, so what you need to do is make 1 of your 2 FRs a partial, issue REFRESH CLUSTER(*) REPOS(YES), make it a Full Repository again, then do the same for the other FR.
This *should* get rid of the bad channels.
First, make sure you double check all your port numbers and connames on all channels. You did that? Good, double check again. Then do the refreshes as mentioned above.

Just a few simple questions ...
Why did you reconfigure the port numbers?
Why not just leave them as they are?
I am not being judgmental here, I just want to know...
Why do you SA's out there change a working system?
Sorry if I am being naive here; working in the lab has its disadvantages... |

Because change is the nature of the world...
Because customers and managers go to IBM sales events where they are sold on the next big thing, and we have to react to that....
Because we miss our friends at IBM tech support sooooo much we have to invent reasons to call them...

Why did you reconfigure the port numbers?
It seem like people who know how to use mq explore could access to our AIX QM giving the people who knew currently using the port number and QM name. All user account in our AIX boxes were configured using local account, this account is not being configured in a domain. therefore, I were asked to change the port number for temporary solution. Please advise if anyone have better suggestion. greately appreciate,
Thanks, |

Don't run a command server on the AIX box.
If one of your MQ Admins needs to manage MQ, and wants to use MQExplorer, then the mq admin can temporarily run the command server and close it when they are done.
Or the MQ admins can learn MQSC.
Or use an agent based, centralized MQ administration tool.

...Or put a security exit on the channel used by MQExplorer, like the one Capitalware provides?
Changing the port # as a security measure is sort of like lifting your doormat and moving the spare key to the other side. You know they are gonna figure out the new port# sooner or later.
