Update the dmpmqcfg utility to ensure it captures ALL MQ objects before migrating from the MQ Appliance to RHEL

During a recent migration, the dmpmqcfg utility failed to back up several system objects unique to Managed File Transfer (MFT). This omission caused a 3-day outage. (Reference: Case TS022907465.) To prevent recurrence, update the backup process to...

Multi-site DR for Native HA CRR

As cloud may/may not be acceptable to governance/policies, have a tertiary or great DR site off-cloud is desirable. Having the live and first recovery site in the cloud make sense but a 3rd site (2nd DR) on-prem is preferred. This may be an N-numb...

Enable Token-Based Authentication (IDA IDAnyWhere) for IBM MQ Client/Server Connections

The client connection channel password in the CCDT supports only up to 12 characters, whereas the security policy requires a minimum password length of 15 characters.

The minimum 15-character password requirement is part of the security policy and helps improve account security by making passwords more resistant to brute-force and password-cracking attacks.

Support OpenSSL

Problem Statement Currently, GSKit is the only supported way of setting up TLS and cryptography in MQ. Because only IBM products rely on GSKit (as far as I know) it poses a higher barrier to entry when starting with Db2. While GSKit supports stand...
