Waiting for MQ to stop. After a while it starts installation, it comes up with
" IBM websphere MQ files are in use. Stop activity and retry (AMQ4757)" this error message and halt installing the fixpac.
I have stops all the process including amqmtbrn- the mq alert. Just to be confirmed, I tried to issue :
NET STOP "IBM MQSeries" command but it gives error.
How can I get around of this problem without rebooting the machine? Does not end porcess from taskmanager end the process?
thank you a you lot. |

Sounds like when you stopped one of the processes, it didn't clear a file handle before it went down. I've seen this where processes are stopped using "End Process" from the taskmanager - they stop like they've been hit with a brick and they don't release the file handle. Windows doesn't notice they've died and you end up with this "file in use by no-one" problem.
The only way I know of getting Windows to notice the file's been closed is to reboot. With luck it's been fixed in Vista......

Vitor,
Is there any utility that clear the file handler? or any other windows utility which kills the process completely. Though the process is ended from taskmanager ( it was amqmtbrn). I am not sure whether this causes any problem or was any one of the previous process.
Thank you very much, |

There are some tools to do that, one example is this:
c:\>tasklist /M
i'll give a list of loaded dll's. Look for the ones from MQ, tipically amq*, look for the .exe using them, and kill this .exe

Just navigate to the c:\program files\ibm\source folder and run:
amqicsdn.exe mqpinuseok=1
This is the workaround but it may ask you to reboot.
IBM should really sort this issue out now - we've had it for two versions... |

Check http://sysinternals.com for a program called handle, it will allow you to close a file handle without rebooting (Good tool on Windows servers)

I have gone through this recently.
Try stopping the "Windows Management Instrumentation" Service before you apply the Fixpack.
