I don't know why anyone would mount NFS to their DataPower appliance. Apparently the appliance might reload, may reload (is it going to reload?) when it has a problem communicating with the NFS mount. https://community.ibm.com/community/user/integration/discussion/nfs-static-mount?ReturnUrl=%2fcom ...

Our Case with IBM confirmed there is no way to mount NAS to a DataPower appliance without introducing and accepting the risk of the appliance reloading if it experiences even temporary connectivity issues to the NAS. ------------------------------ Peter Potkay ------------------------------

You can have more than one AUTHREC for the same MQ Object, each AUTHREC referencing a different group. This is typical when you want different groups to have different levels of access to the same object. The mqm group has 100% authority 100% of the time. You cannot add any authority. You cannot remove ...

Frank, When a connection fails to succeed for security related reasons, the side that is rejecting the connection has the details, the side that is being rejected typically has very little detail. In your error message it says "The SSL or TLS connection was closed by the remote host " and "Check the ...

The documentation from IBM on this is filled with a lot of wishy-washy "might restart" and "might prevent a restart". Translated, to me it means if you want to mount NAS to your appliances, you need to accept your appliance might restart if it can't talk to the NAS for a period of time? Is there a ...

How do we prove to ourselves that the queue manager is in fact running with the system variable we think its running with? I noticed at the bottom of an FDC file the queue manager shows a lot of that. Is there a way to cause the queue manager to eject a harmless info only FDC that we can then look at? ...

The script that is called by systemd to start the queue manager, couldn't it do something like this to accomplish the "logon" to pick up mqm's ulimits, env variables, etc runuser -l mqm -c "/opt/mqm/bin/strmqm $QMGR" ------------------------------ Peter Potkay ------------------------------

regarding using systemd to start/stop a MQ Queue Manager, is it better to have systemd call the strmqm / endmqm commands directly, or better to have systemd call a ksh script that then calls startmqm/endmqm and whatever else the script may do? ------------------------------ Peter Potkay ...

Its been a struggle to get SSLPeerName working in a python app. We got it working doing the below. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump thru Is there a cleaner, simpler way? Yes, I know we could use a Client Channel Definition Table. Is there a better way to do it with code ahead of the MQCONNX call is ...

The apps in this case are MQ Clients connecting from separate hosts. A new QM name each time would be easy enough to do, using some sort of sequence number as a suffix. Shouldn't be a problem for these apps who have been asked / told / scolded to not use a QM name. Its the admin related tools for ...

Is there a limit to the number of times you could remove a queue manager and then add it back into an MQ Cluster? It would be removed properly with its queues and channels correctly declustered prior to deleting the queue manager. This question is in the context of Infrastructure as Code, where we ...

Rob, You mentioned you were going to write a blogpost on this topic. Is there any more info to share? I'm playing around with this. Running the same password into runmqicred on the same MQ Client install gives a different encrypted result each time. This was surprising to me - I assumed same ...
