One customer of my company used an old MQ Channel Security Exit named MS0R suppac. I can find there are some PWServer configurations in the channels. I haven't any knowledge of MS0R. The customer also hasn't any document of MS0R, especially MS0R manual book. I want to find where can I download the manual. And it would be better to download all resources of the suppac.
Do you know where can I download it? |

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

Yes, I have read this. And I also google MS0R as much as I can. I know that IBM has already withdrawn MS0R then capitalware provides a MQ security solution. But the customer is using MS0R. I have to find documents/materials of MS0R.  |

OR migrate to the proper solution?
What if the documents are simply not available? what are you going to do then?

Till now I really have no idea. It's so hard for me to guess what the parameter of MS0R in channel definination means. So what I can is only to pray that problem on MS0R don't happen.
What I want is just the document of MS0R. But I cannot find it out by google or someone sharing.
That's tragedy |

This hardly qualifies as a tragedy.
Prayer is one option. A more professional approach would be for you to recommend that your customer migrate to a supported product, rather than depending on a supportpac dropped by IBM six years ago.

Or tell your customer their software is unsupported by IBM and therefore they are unsupported by you.
Prayer will be ineffective, especially as a legal defense when your customer sues you for loss of earnings due to production outage. You don't need their business that badly, and you need to make sure your legal department is aware of your liability exposure.

The tragedy is that no-one laughed in this customer's face when they asked for support. If they'd turned up with a critical application running on Windows NT, would you bemoan the fact that you couldn't find any NT documentation because this is the only thing preventing you providing full coverage support?
Was it not a red flag when the customer told you they didn't have documentation for something they're using? The cynical among us wonder if you've (in the corporate sense) been set up......
