IT15319: MQ appliance 'appliance' link on the MQ console page does not work with non default port number.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the port used to access the MQ Appliance web UI has been
  modified from its default value of 9090, the link marked
  'Appliance' in the MQ console page, which should redirect to the
  appliance administration pages, does not work. The error seen is
  dependent on the browser being used, but will be something like
  "The site can't be reached" or "Unable to connect".
  

Local fix

• Modify the port in the address bar from 9090 to the non default
  one configured
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the MQ Appliance console who have
  modified the default web UI port, and who are trying to access
  the appliance administration section of the console by following
  the 'Appliance' link from the MQ console page.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows, Linux on Power, Linux on x86, Linux on x86-64
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The link to the appliance administration page on the MQ console
  page did not take account of the fact that the web UI port had
  changed, so the link contained the default port number instead
  of the modified one.
  

Problem conclusion

• The link to the appliance administration page now takes account
  of the modified port and the page loads successfully.
