RELATED IDEAS

Add a -MQ_Appliance option to runmqsc on other Platforms (i.e. Linux, AIX, Windows etc.) so the -v (verify) option can be used authenticate the < input.file will complete successfully when run on the MQ Appliance

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Modern Change Management processes require all scripts to be both input format verified and peer reviewed. MQ Appliance shops running remote scripts to restore a Queue Managers or to add new MQ objects would use this feature. runmqsc -v -mq_appliance <input.file would verify all commands conform to the MQ Appliance format when executed on another platform (i.e. Linux, AIX, Windows etc.). Alternatively, if the MQ Appliance could be adapted to handle the -v  (Verify) option (which Architecturally I do not believe is possible); then, that would be fine as well. Large customers who want to migrate to the MQ Appliance must be able to meet all of the requirements of modern change management processes when administering changes.

    Thanks Mark.

    We were able to successfully test MQSC configuration file Verification and output to the /tmp directory on the MQ Appliance (with the assistance from Glenn Gettman) and agree this is satisfactory for our company's DEVOPS change management process. This idea can be withdrawn.

    Adding cross-platform verification is not something we would plan to do. It would not just be an appliance matter, but - for example - doing Linux verification on Windows. That cross-platform knowledge is not available in the MQSC processor.


    You can already do MQSC verification on the appliance, but you have to be running it directly. Not via a client connection.
