IT17306: MQSIPROFILE SHOULD ONLY ECHO TO STDOUT ON INTERACTIVE LOGIN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The mqsiprofile script echos the version number and the install
  directory to stdout. If the mqsiprofile script is sourced in a
  users default environment then this prevents scp from working.
  

Local fix

• Remove the following lines from the mqsiprofile script:
  
  echo
  echo MQSI $MQSI_VERSION
  echo $MQSI_FILEPATH
  echo
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus Pattern for PureApplication and
  users of IBM Integration Bus on Unix platforms which set the
  mqsiprofile in their default shell environment.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  If the mqsiprofile script is set as part of the default shell
  environment then users will be unable to connect remotely using
  scp using the IIB userid. This is due to a defect in scp which
  causes scp to hang if anything is written to stdout during the
  connection negotiation phase.
  
  By default the mqsiprofile script outputs the version and
  install path information for the IIB installation.
  
  There are a number of resource name changes between WebSphere
  Message Broker and IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.  For details

  tools.mft.doc/bb23814_.htm
  

Problem conclusion

• The mqsiprofile script has been updated to attempt to detect if
  it is running in an interactive context, if it determines that
  the shell is not interactive then it will suppress writing the
  version information and install file path to stdout.
