I have wasted an entire day behind this now, but for the love of IBM, i can't figure it out.
In lab i have a user mbrlab1 which is part of mqbrkrs and mqm groups. Now as root, I am copying the IIB10 tar file to /opt/IBM, unzipping and doing a ./iib make make registry global accept license as root.
But from there things so awry. Do i change the ownership of the install location and workpath to mbrlab1:mqbrkrs?
If i can't do it, i can't migrate broker using mqsi commands. Also, i can't simply load the mqsiprofile.
Another thing i noticed is, if i create it as the broker user, the workpath is $HOME/iibconfig, now I don't know how to proceed here.
So what i did was install for global as root, change the file onwerships, change the .profile for the broker user mbrlab1 to use /server/bin/mqsiprofile.
But it keeps complaining about library files missing. I looked at the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBPATH and added a bunch of locations in the .profile to export. Finally i get this error.
| Code: |
| BIP2176S: Could not find message '9107' in catalog '/server/messages/En_US/BIPmsgs.cat', inserts are '{0}' '{1}' '{2}' '{3}' '{4}' '{5}' '{6}' |
One more thing i see is all these LD_LIBRARY_PATH files are automatically exported in IIB9 but it doesn't happen in IIB10.
I can share the .profile files if needed. IIB10 has simply broken by will to work today.
I almost smashed my laptop infront of my colleagues.
Am i doing ythe installation wrong? Am i in the wrong line of work? |

In the old days, you had to verify that your user's primary group was mqm or mqsi... not sure what it looks like these days.

We all are, but what's the alternative? Where else can we be paid so much for doing so little? 
Are you using the "real" IIBv10 or a beta?
What *nix are you using? You mention a laptop so I'm guessing this is Ubuntu or similar?

Ok, I've just got one of our RHEL6 R&D machines to volunteer as a guinea pig and performed the following:
Unpacked 10.0.0.5 into /opt/IBM
Accepted the license with iib make registry global accept license silently
Checked with iib verify all
Created a broker
Started the broker
Screamed "it's ALIVE!!" and wished there was a thunderstorm
Verified running broker was at 10.0.0.5 with a mode of advanced
Deployed my Mickey Mouse test flow & checked for normal operation, including the ability to throw errors with the inserts filled in
Got a cease & desist letter from Disney's lawyers
(For the benefit of future readers, all these instructions can be found here and here)
Not sure how this varies from what you're doing (if at all) but proves that in theory it works.....

Thanks for the reply, Vitor. But can you tell me what user you ran these as?
Install as root and creation onwards as user? |

Everything to verification as root, everything else as user.

That's pretty much what i am trying to do. Can you tell me if the userid has anything special to it? is it part of mqbrkrs and mqm? Does it have access to the install location and work path.
What's the user .profile look like? |

It's the standard for our RHEL with mqsiprofile in it.

Looks pretty straightforward to me. I am assuming the user isn't part of root.
Let me start from the scratch. I'll scrub everything i did and follow your steps. May The IBM Gods shower their smiles on me. |

It's not. Even on an R&D box the sys admins would come for me armed with sharp pieces of metal for making someone other than root part of root. Almost as bad as signing on as root - in the interests of full transparency I should point out I (in accordance with our standards) I sudo'd to both root and the service user in question.

Not my steps - I simply walked the path of righteousness described in The Documentation.

Be sure to sprinkle pure rainwater from a hazel twig over the hardware while wearing a crowd woven from mistletoe cut under the full moon. Not only will this raise the spirits of your colleagues (one of whom should post the video to YouTube for us) but will allow you to claim it was working fine until the circuits shorted out when they got wet.

No dice. I was able to install, verify, create , start broker as root( albeit bypassing all the Server Admin rules that we know since existence of mankind), but the moment i switch to broker user it goes bad.
The problem for me is i was planning an inplace migration and can't really go on like this.
I'll open a PMR and hope they have some answers for me. I was wondering if i got the wrong install files but then it shouldn't have worked for root as well.
Something seriously messed up with my broker user. I removed the .profile for the broker user and simply tried to run
. /opt/IBM/EAsmbl_image/iib-10.0.0.3/server/bin/mqsiprofile to load the profile and it still won't budge. It gives me this.
| Code: |
MQSI 10.0.0.3
/server
|
An immediate mqsilist gives me this.
| Code: |
mqsilist
-ksh: mqsilist: not found [No such file or directory]
|
I am trying to run all this as mbrlab1 which is part of mqbrkrs and mqm.
I have never felt to powerless. |

Ok, I didn't create the broker as root. I did the verification as root, and then switched to the service user for the create, start and subsequent operations. I thought I'd articulated that.
If root created the broker then it's very likely no one else can use it.....

Try doing what I did, not what you thought I did, and pull the mistletoe firmly down on your head.

Ok. I did what you suggested and have a bump on my head to prove it. But i cleaned up everything, downloaded the install files again but this time 10.0.0.6 rather than 10.0.0.3 and redid everything and it works.
IT WORKS!!! AND IT"S ALIVE!!! |
