sample tool to test connection with MQ qmgr

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_9.0.0/com.ibm.mq.dev.doc/q024090_.htm

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21615875

There is an additional MQ test you can run, The amqscnxc sample connect program included with the MQ samples. You need to have the MQ samples module installed to get this. Source code for the utility is also provided with the samples.

The following test will connect to the queue manager and respond that you are connected/or fail:

amqscnxc -x ConnName -c SvrconnChannelName QMgrName

UNIX: (need the ' ' for the -x option)
amqscnxc -x '192.168.1.131(1415)' -c EXCONN MIKE

Windows: (doesn't need the ' ' for the -x option)
amqscnxc -x 192.168.1.131(1415) -c EXCONN MIKE


*** for the MQ v8, you need to inpurt the user name for the connection, you can set the user id in the MQSAMP_USER_ID environment variable.

MQ V8 - Samples can use user ID and password

如何使用WAS下的scriptLibraries來簡化wsadmin操作

WAS下的scriptLibraries下有一些IBM提供給管理者簡化wsadmin 命令的Library (提供額外的命令來包裝原先複雜的wsadmin 命令), 讓管理可以方便使用。

其使用方法如下﹕(以設定WebContainer thread Pool 為例)

(1)./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -username admin_id -password admin_password

(2)進入wsadmin介面後, 使用execfile來載入擴充的Libraries。
wsadmin>execfile('<WAS-install-root>/scriptLibraries/servers/V70/AdminServerManagement.py')

(3)之後便能使用擴充的指令(至於有哪些指令, 可以自行參考那個.py 檔案的內容說明)
以AdminServerManagement.py 來說其設定Thread Pool的擴充指令為:configureThreadPool
=========================
  Ex40: configureThreadPool
# Example 40: Configure thread pool
def configureThreadPool(nodeName, serverName, parentType, tpName, maxSize, minSize, inactivityTimeout, otherAttrList=[], failonerror=AdminUtilities._BLANK_):

try:

        #--------------------------------------------------------------------

        # Configuring ThreadPool

        #--------------------------------------------------------------------

        print "---------------------------------------------------------------"

        print " AdminServerManagement:  Configuring ThreadPool"

        print " nodeName:               "+nodeName

        print " serverName:             "+serverName

        print " parentType:             "+parentType

        print " threadPoolName:         "+tpName

        print " maximumSize:            %s" % (maxSize)

        print " minimumSize:            %s" % (minSize)

        print " inactivityTimeout:      %s" % (inactivityTimeout)

===========================

(4)依上面說明, 其正確指令可寫成:

wsadmin>

configureThreadPool("loveNode02","base03","ThreadPoolManager","WebContainer","200","100","60000")

(5)其輸出結果如下﹕

---------------------------------------------------------------

 AdminServerManagement:  Configuring ThreadPool

 nodeName:               loveNode02

 serverName:             base03

 parentType:             ThreadPoolManager

 threadPoolName:         WebContainer

 maximumSize:            200

 minimumSize:            100

 inactivityTimeout:      60000

 Optional Attributes:

     otherAttributeList  []

 Usage: AdminServerManagement.configureThreadPool("loveNode02", "base03", "ThreadPoolManager", "WebContainer", "'200'", "'100'", "'60000'")

 Return: If the command is successful, a value of 1 is returned.

---------------------------------------------------------------

[customProperties []]

[inactivityTimeout 60000]

[isGrowable false]

[maximumSize 200]

[minimumSize 100]

[name WebContainer]

1

(6)若要把這二個步驟合成一個, 就自行寫個abc.py, 其內容如下﹕

execfile('<WAS-install-root>/scriptLibraries/servers/V70/AdminServerManagement.py')

configureThreadPool("loveNode02","base03","ThreadPoolManager","WebContainer","200","100","60000")

(7)最後要執行時就只要去指定abc.py 即可:

./wsadmin.sh -f abc.py

How to find out which user issue the MQ command?

(1) enable qmgr command event
     alter qmgr cmdev(enabled)

(2) the command event will be put into SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.EVENT queue

(3) use MH05 SupportPac to parse the command events or

(4) use MS0P SupportPac to format the command events in MQ Explorer

Install Oracle 11g missing package pdksh-5.2.14 issue

RHEL6 安裝 Oracle 11g 遭遇 pdksh-5.2.14 不存在
http://blog.roodo.com/oraksumi/archives/41081323.html

原因在於 OUI 在進行環境檢查時執行的是下列 command :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/bin/rpm -q --qf %{version} redhat-release
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
在 RHEL6 的環境下 redhat-release 已經被取代為 redhat-release-server-6Server，因此上述 command 會造成了缺少 "elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97" 或是 "pdksh-5.2.14" Package 的錯誤。

解決方式於安裝介質目錄下 database/stage/cvu/cv/admin 找出 cvu_config 這個檔案並且編輯他，將其中的 CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL4 改為 CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6 ，如此一來 OUI 便可以正確的檢查系統所需的 Package 了。

由於 "elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97" 或是 "pdksh-5.2.14" 這兩個 Package 並不是必要的，若不想更動 cvu_config 這個檔案，那麼在安裝過程中忽略這個錯誤就可以了。
