RE: Creating CSR for MQ using IKeyman utility

Found In Egroup: MQ \ view thread
Thanks, Neil and Rab for the info. @Neil Casey, I especially appreciate the thorough explanation and things to consider. Very helpful. Our MQ server is a cloud deployment so I'll need to store the secret somewhere and inject it at deployment. We do this with other secrets so this can hopefully be handled ...

Creating CSR for MQ using IKeyman utility

Found In Egroup: MQ \ view thread
I need to create a CSR to secure the connection between two of our MQ servers -- one in cloud and one on z/OS. I've read through the documentation and it seems the IKeyman utility is the recommended tool to use for this. My main question is what is the easiest way to get IKeyman installed? Does this ...

RE: Administrative subscription not working

Just want to close the loop on this and say that the issue is resolved. The original problem was that I had misinterpreted the meaning of the EXPIRY parameter on the administrative subscription. Correcting this actually fixed the problem. However, the issue appeared to still be there as we were testing ...

The use of EXPIRY on the DEFINE SUB was definitely a misinterpretation of the documentation on my part. Knowing this applied to the subscription itself (and not the messages) allowed me to recreate the problem locally and then verify it was resolved by the removal of the EXPIRY parameter (or rather by ...

It was brought to my attention that I may be misinterpreting the meaning of the EXPIRY parameter on the DEFINE SUB command. I took this value to be the amount of time a message would persist on the queue before it was removed. Perhaps instead this time limit applies to the subscription, itself. I ...

Morag, Thanks for the reply. When you say "the subscribing user ID must have PUT authority to the queue," are you referring to the client that is connected to the queue? That is my assumption since a subscriber to the topic does not know (or care) about the queue. If I understand you correctly you ...

Administrative subscription not working

Found In Egroup: MQ \ view thread
We're trying to set up an administrative subscription on one of our MQ servers. We have a publisher client that posts messages to a MQ topic and other subscribers listening to the topic. Internally, on the queue manager we have defined an administrative subscription that listens for messages and copies ...

RE: Failing DB2 precheck for Ubuntu install

Thanks for your help. After some effort I was able to install and configure DB2 on the system as non-root (Ubuntu 18.04). The installation steps required the following pre-req packages: apt-get update -y \ && apt update && apt upgrade -y \ && apt-get install -y libnuma1 \ && apt-get install ...

Ian and Brian, thanks for the info. I should have mentioned in my original post that I first tried the install using an Ubuntu 18.04 image, then tried 16.04 and went to 20.04 on the most recent attempt. I got the same pre-check failures, more or less, on all three attempts. ​​​I wondered about the 32-bit ...

Failing DB2 precheck for Ubuntu install

I am trying to install DB2 for non-root on an Ubuntu Docker image. I posted previously about trying to run the ibmcom/db2 cloud images as non-root, but this doesn't seem possible after further investigation. My next approach is to download and install the IBM DB2 Community edition (v11.5.5_linuxx64_ ...

How to run Docker ibmcom/db2 image as non-root

Found In Egroup: Db2 \ view thread
Is it possible to build an image from the DB2 Docker image that can run as non-root? Though we have a production DB2 server deployed on-prem, I would like to create a simple cloud image that can be deployed to our Kubernetes environment for test and development purposes. The catch is we are restricted ...
