Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects users of IBM MQ version 8, running MQ
    applications under a user ID which does not have write access to
    the MQ error log (AMQERR0*.LOG) within its MQ installation.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    A coding error within the MQ common services routines used by MQ
    client applications meant that a failure to open the MQ error
    log file was not correctly handled, and subsequent additional
    operations were attempted on the file, resulting in the bad file
    descriptor error and FDC record.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ common services routines have been updated to correctly
    handle a failure to open the MQ error log due to a permissions
    error, and request that the message be logged by and MQ process
    with appropriate permissions on the MQ error log.
