SE54639: Websphere MQ V701: MESSAGE AMQ8289 GENERATED FOR CRTMQMCHL command

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error message AMQ8289 is generated for CRTMQMCHL command when
  the command is run from a user profile that does not have a
  group profile of QMQMADM.
  AMQ8289 You are not authorized to the WMQ Command
  
  The current WMQ code is incorrectly treating the CRTMQMCHL
  command as Group 1 command .
  Even if the userid has the correct authorization , such as:
  
  - *connect and *admcrt authority to the queue
  manager
  - *admdsp authority to the default channel that is being
  used with which to create the new one.
  (so for example, if the user is creating a Receiver channel ,
  the user must have *admdsp to the SYSTEM.DEF.RECEIVER channel on
  the queue manager.)
  - *USE authority on the CL command itself
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  WMQ users on IBM i attempting to use channel commands such as
  CRTMQMCHL without QMQMADM group profile or *ALLOBJ
  
  Platforms affected:
  iSeries
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  WMQ code is incorrectly treating channel commands, such as
  CRTMQMCHL, as Group 1 commands, which in turn require either
  *ALLOBJ authority or the QMQMADM group profile.
  Furthermore, the documentation in InfoCenter is lacking in
  defining what authorities are required for using such commands.
  

Problem conclusion

• WMQ code has been modified to allow channel commands to be used
  without the need for *ALLOBJ or QMQMADM group, provided the
  proper authorities are set.
  The InfoCenter documentation has also been modified to provide
  more information on securing authorities for this command.
