If the qmgr is multi-instance and on one server it was started as a single-instance then when you try to start it on the standy server it will give an error. so the fix is: stop the qmgr (endmqm and start it as a multi-instance (strmqm -x gmqrname). Then go to the server where it is in Running elsewhere" ...

You need to run MQ commands as "mqm" user – not root. Also on Linux you need to run the set environment command (setmqenv) located in /opt/mqm/bin. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.1?topic=reference-setmqenv-set-mq-environment Susan Barker Sr. ITX, MQ, ...

Sounds like you are not even reaching onprem yet. There should be no issues if you have whitelisted the route (destination ip, source ip, port, etc). Our developers are able to reach onprem MQ servers from Azure once the policy is approved and the whitelist policy is implemented. Are you going thru a ...

Do you have the syntax for inserting a pem file in the key database? I normally use runmqckm commands. Just a suggestion: Create a label for each cert which includes the CA name and the expiration date. Sort of like: baltimoretrustrootca_08202025 Then when you list the certs in the kdb file ...

Gopinath, What was the OS that was upgraded? You could add an SSL stanza in the qm.ini file to allow specific ciphers. Here is an example: SSL: AllowedCipherSpecs=TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 Susan Barker Sr. ITX, MQ, ACE Architect II IBM Champion ...

Adrita, What databases are you connecting to? ACE comes with many drivers. Are you installing on Linux or Windows or ??? What version of ACE are you installing? You see in ACE 11.0.0.11 (for example) there is a directory (after the installation on Linux) called: /opt/IBM/mqsi/11.0. ...

Hi, Thank you for your question. It's always best to ask questions first. First you need to prepare the system for MQ install on Linux. (more important than the actual installation itself) https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=linux-preparing-system Procedure Set up a user ID of the ...

It's always best to follow the migration doc. Migrate to the required version first, start the queue manager, back it up again, shut it down and then migrate again to the required version. I always do the validation after each upgrade. Start the queue manager Run some commands such as dspmqver, ...

Mohammed, Since you have a very old version of MQ, MQ 7.5, this may suggest there are applications that use this queue manager and perhaps the reason the migration was not possible is that these applications may not be able to function properly with newer versions. First thing I suggest is mapping ...

Remember to not only change the queue maximum message length but also the channel maximum message length. For future development you might want to change the default queues and default channels to this maximum message length so all newly built queues will have the length. I normally change: ...

Abrha, For the policy files – I update them on the backend – on the server itself – not thru the webgui. Then recycle the IS. Do you have access? What parameters do you need to override? Btw – are you using OpenShift? Are you using the IS in containers? Susan Barker Lead MQ, ACE, ITX, ...

Nithin, There are many reasons why an integration server would not start. The most common is something amiss in the server.conf.yaml file. It could be a typo, etc. Make sure you look for any spelling issues, etc. Download the file and use notepad ++ with a Yaml editor to check for any errors. Remember ...

You should definitely consider migration to v11. You can keep the integration node (use 11.0.0.2 at least). All IIB code works fine and it's fairly easy to migrate. Susan Barker Lead MQ/ACE Administrator | Enterprise Solutions - Integration | CDW
