APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When a connection factory is created using the scripting client
    and the port is not defined.  The port defaults to 0 because the
    connection factory is created as bindings mode.
    
    In bindings mode, the port number is ignored so it doesn't have
    to be defined as valid number. This causes the following error
    message in the Admin Console, because the admin console is
    trying to validate the port field that contains an invalid
    value:
    
    CWMSR0017E: The value "{0}" is not valid for the qmgrPortNumber
    attribute.
    

Local fix

  • The workaround is to set the port field to a valid value for a
    port  (such as 1414). This value will still be ignored, but it
    will allow the panel to pass validation, and the customer to
    proceed.

    ****************************************************************
    When creating a WMQ connection factory or activation
    specification via scripting, the queue manager port number is
    an optional field. This field defaults to '0', which is an
    invalid port number. When in bindings mode, this isn't a
    problem because the port number is irrelevant in such a context.
    
    However, when the activation specification or connection
    factory is modified, the port number will be validated.
    Because it's an invalid value for a port number, it will fail
    this validation, even though the port number is not used
    on a bindings mode connection.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem has been fixed by ensuring that the port number is
    only validated when using a client, or bindings then client,
    connection.
