Hi All,

I was trying to renew ssl certificate some of our old MQ servers(it is V5.3).One out 8 of the same kind, I am getting following error while trying to import the certificate.

I created queue manager in my PC with same name and tried importing the certificate it worked. then tried to copy the key.sto from my pc and assign the cert to this queue manager. Still getting the same error.

AMQ0000: WebSphere MQ was unable to display an error message 0.

EXPLANATION:
MQ has attempted to display the message associated with return code hexadecimal
'0'. The return code indicates that there is no message text associated with
the message. Associated with the request are inserts 0 : 0 : : : .
ACTION:
Use the standard facilities supplied with your system to record the problem
identifier, and to save the generated output files. Contact your IBM support
center. Do not discard these files until the problem has been resolved.

The error is written in system error log directory not in queue manager error log directory.

Can anybody give a hand??

Firstly, do NOT double post - if you post in an inappropriate forum then please request a moderator move it to one more appropriate. I have deleted the General Discussion post.

You are now finding out the perils and pitfalls of staying on an unsupported version, but it would also help if you stated on which platform you are running (I suspect Windows, but then it has many flavours), and any other relevant information that our crystal balls are failing to display...

Thanks for that Exerc,

I will take care of the double post next time.

Yes we are in unsupported version and have a plan for the remediation this June. But now I need to nenew the cert as it is getting expired on Jan 27th.

The Windows version is 2003 SP2. I tried a restart of queue manager still getting same error.

Now only other option letf-out is to recreate the queue manager. If you have any idea about this error please let me know. google also doesn't say anything about this error. Can't go to IBM as it is not supported... NEED HELP BADLY..

How did you renew the certificate? Please post the exact steps in the procedure you followed.

1) In MQ explorer, go to Queue manager, properties--> SSL tab
2) then Manage SSL certificate
3) Click Add
3) Import from File, select the certificate and click add
Now I am getting the error.

I tried another way , created a qmgr in another server which having same mq and os level, imported the certificate there it worked fine. then copy the key.sto file the production qmgr

Now after adding the certificate, we need to assign the cert to qmgr , when tried to assign the cert to qmgr on production with the copy of key.sto from non prod , getting same error.

What recent changes were made to the server - of any variety? The 'unable to dispaly message' is usually indicative of screwed file system permissions.

No changed done till we started getting this error. After the issue I tried to recreate the key.sto file, copy key.sto created from test region to here. Other than that no changes done.

I also tried to create the key.sto in some other location in the same server with same queue manager. no luck

I'll assume that CSD 13 is applied. Now, from what I remember of WMQ V5.3 on Windows, certs were held in the Windows certificate store, so can you see it using IE?

In any of the tabs, i.e. Personal, Other People, Intermediate Certification Authorities, Trusted Root Certification Authorities, Trusted Publishers, or Untrusted Publishers? (not sure if they're all there on the version of IE you'll be using)

In the 'good' server, what's the value for 'Manage SSL certificate', and can you locate the 'physical' certificate?
