Necessary MQ Security Enhancements - Especially on z/OS

Lack of access visibility, especially while RESLEVEL is set permissively For example, if the CICS ID establishes a connection to MQ, MQ would not verify subsequent IDs from a user ID leveraging that CICS region to submit something to MQ from CIC...

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...

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.

MQ Explorer & Passphrase

It seems that IBM MQ Explorer (at least the v9.4.1 we used) does not support Passphrase. Since, for security reasons, more and more systems are implementing this mechanism, I think it is a good idea to support it from the MQ Explorer as well.

Evenly Distribution of Connections to available QMGRs in a LPAR

As part of an IBM recommendation, we are implementing a second Queue Manager in each CICS LPAR of our Production environment. In our tests, in an test environment with more than one QMGR is available, we have observed that the connections are NOT ...

Service IP for NativeHA QMGR setup

We have been using RDQM for a couple of years now. With the feature to attach Floating / Service Ip to the NIC with a command it helped us to route the traffic seamless within HA and across HA/DR along with network DNS routing. We would like this ...

Multi-instance MQ be able of switchover without intervention after a failover

Problema: having 2 mq multi-instances, one as primary and the other as secondary and running in standby mode. When the primary MQ fails, the other one takes over as primary. However, the previous one goes to the status of “running elsewhere” and n...
