All,
We are running broker 6.0.0.3 in Prod and i would like to upgrade it to 6.0.0.5. Our Dev environment has not issued any funny messages since we upgraded.
Would other people please comment on their experience with 6.0.0.5.
Cheers. |

C'mon, a directory named after your pet gargoyle? Dumbledore messages?

I have completely and utterly no idea what you mean.
FP05 is pretty good by the way. the sheer number of fixes alone (over FP03) make it worth applying. YMMV, of course. |

Repository
Contains the rest of the Configuration Manager state, as a set of files in an internal format in the directory specified by the environment variable MQSI_WORKPATH (which defaults to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\MQSI\ on Windows). There you will see the a directory called components, which contains a directory named after the Configuration Manager, and inside that is a directory with the constant name BERNARD, which is the repository (named after the Configuration Manager development team’s pet gargoyle).

In WBIMB 5.0 when the Config Manager hangs if you browse the messages in the SYSTEM.BROKER.CONFIG.QUEUE you can see the word Dumbledore towards the top of the message.

It's not a directory that's named after Bernard.
It's the database that's named that way. That Derby happens to put into a directory name.

Originally, that Bernard directory was going to be the name of the underlying Configuration Manager, but there was an eight character restriction on the database names for the CM's internal repository.
So we decided to go for a constant name that wouldn't change, and the answer was glaring down at us from a gargoyle afar.
As for Dumbledore internal message, I was developing the CMP to CM interface back in v5 days, and needed an eyecatcher so that the existing Config Manager could recognise the internal messages from the new CMP component. The name got added during development and it kind of stuck (i.e. I forgot to change it).
So now you know. |

Matt, you don't have to take the blame for me naming my computers and gargoyles Bernard 
I actually originally wrote and christened all v6 Config Manager databases Bernard. As Matt says, I decided to find a constant name for every database as Cloudscape (at the time) only allowed 8 characters. As I already had a gargoyle on my desk and a computer under my desk called Bernard - which I named after Nursey from Blackadder - I thought it a perfect name that wasn't likely to conflict with anything!
I can't see any humour in that
