IT15214: MQ APPLIANCE: THE SHUTDOWN DELAY BEFORE REBOOT IS NOT SHOWN CORRECTLY IF USER DOES NOT SPECIFY A CUSTOM DELAY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If an MQ appliance administrator requests an appliance reboot,
  without specifying a custom delay time, the shutdown delay is
  not shown correctly before the appliance
  reboots.
  
  The following is observed:
  
  M2000# shutdown reboot
  Waiting 90 seconds for the error report to generate.
  You have requested a system shutdown :reboot. Do you want to
  continue?
  Yes/No [y/n]: y
  System about to reboot in 0 seconds
  
  
  If no delay is specified, a default delay of 10 seconds is used,
  and so the command should show:
  
  System about to reboot in 10 seconds
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Administrators of the IBM MQ Appliance
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The default wait interval for the appliance to reboot after a
  'shutdown reboot' command is issued is 10 seconds. However, the
  message displayed when the command was issued incorrectly stated
  it was 0 seconds.

• The MQ Appliance code has been modified to display the correct
  wait interval when the default interval is used.
