http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/platforms/supported.html
This section outlines the restrictions and limitations of WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere Event Broker, by component.
The PDF version of the Installation Guide for WebSphere Message Brokers Version 6 is available only in English at eGA. National language versions of the Installation Guide will be available at GA.
If you have the Beta Program product installed, you cannot upgrade the Beta Program product to the Version 6.0 GA product. Instead you must fully uninstall the Broker runtime components, Toolkit, and RAC. However, the underlying WebSphere MQ and Database used in the Beta product can remain installed.
Artefacts developed on the Beta drivers can be exported from the Toolkit and then reimported to the GA Toolkit. However, it is strongly recommended that you start with a clean machine and workspace.
After installing the GA broker, GA Toolkit, and RAC, on first use the Toolkit must be started using the wmbt -clean command:
<install_root>\IBM\MessageBrokersToolkit\6.0\wmbt.exe
/opt/ibm/MessageBrokersToolkit/6.0/wmbt.bin
Note: You only need to use -clean the first time you open the Toolkit.
For information on installing and uninstalling products or components, refer to the product installation guide.
Although there are two documented methods of upgrading the Toolkit from Version 6.0 to Version 6.0.0.1 (using either the RPU or the refresh CDs), only the RPU method is recommended.
If you use the refresh CDs to upgrade an existing installation, problems can occur during a subsequent uninstallation. It is therefore advisable to avoid this method.
When you use response files for silent installation, they can contain an incorrectly set flag. As a result, if you select one or more specific components to be installed (rather than the full product), the selections are ignored and the full product is installed. To overcome this problem, you need to edit the response file and modify the appropriate flag as follows:
The following line:
-W setupTypes.selectedSetupTypeId=custom
should be changed to:
-W setupTypes.selectedSetupTypeId=
(that is, set to nothing) to prevent the default typical or custom installs (which install all components) from running.
Technotes are available covering several important issues relating to the installation of Message Broker and Event Broker Toolkits with Rational Application Developer (RAD) or Rational Software Architect (RSA) products. You are strongly advised to refer to these Technotes when installing the Message Brokers Toolkit. Information on how to access these Technotes is given in the Support section of this readme.
During installation of the IBM Rational Agent Controller (RAC), security is enabled by default. However, if security is enabled, the Flow Debugger will not operate correctly. To allow the Flow Debugger to function, you must disable security during the RAC installation, by deselecting the Security sub-component in the IBM Rational Plugins > Security panel.
If RAC has been installed with security enabled, you must uninstall it and then reinstall with the security setting disabled.
WebSphere Message Brokers Toolkit includes some Rational Application Developer (RAD) national language components as part of its installation.
This section provides brief instructions with respect to any pre-installed Rational products and the Language Packs to be installed with the Toolkit. However, more detailed information is contained in Technotes available on the IBM Support Web site. See the Support section of this readme for information on how to access the Technotes.
Note: if you install the Toolkit Language Packs without having installed Language Pack support for existing Rational products, the Toolkit installation will fail. Symptoms include missing functionality in the Toolkit. One way to determine this is to run the IBM Rational Product Updater after installation of the Toolkit. If the displayed version of the Toolkit product is shown as 1.0.0, then installation has probably failed.
The following message is displayed for the Language Pack option in the installation. This message is not currently translated.
Select the features for IBM WebSphere Event/Message Broker Toolkit you would like to install. If you select the Language Pack, ensure all Rational products present already have their Language Packs installed and the Rational Product Updater run to bring them up to the supported 6.0.0.1 level before continuing. This is a requirement, failure to do so may result in an unsuccessful installation.
On Linux platforms:
If you plan to install Rational products after the Toolkit is installed, the default directory presented at that time is the Toolkit installation directory because the Rational workbench is installed there. On Linux systems, you must keep that as the default installation directory. Do not install to a different directory otherwise you will not be able to upgrade your product.
The Launchpad shows the Toolkit as pending, even if the installation completed successfully. This can be safely ignored.
If you have one or more components of WebSphere Message Broker already installed on a computer, and you then try to install any additional components, InstallShield checks to see whether there is sufficient disk space to install the entire product and not just the additional components that you want to install. As a result, you might be unable to install the additional components even though there is enough space for them on the computer. If there is enough space to install the whole product, you can install the selected components successfully. However, if there is not enough space, you will need to uninstall the previously installed components and start again.
On UNIX and Linux platforms, if two or more users issue mqsistart commands on the same computer, the broker fails on startup when the second user tries to start their broker. The abend file contains the string "semctl".
On RedHat Enterprise Linux, each user has a different primary group by default, so this problem is likely to be seen if there are multiple broker users.
Solution: Make the primary groups of all users of the product the same. If you have already encountered this abend you will need to change the primary group of the affected users and remove all the semaphores associated with the product. The simplest way to remove all semaphores is to reboot the machine.
On some Windows systems, creating the Default Configuration might fail when the broker database is created. If you look in the DefaultConfigurationWizard.log file as directed by the message, you can see an entry similar to this:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ task trace +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ TIMESTAMP [Fri Sep 23 16:31:42 BST 2005] Creating the database [DEFBKDB6] for the default broker. Status ERROR: com.ibm.etools.mft.eou code=0 Could not create the database. C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI_TK\600_IVT2>CALL mqsicreatedb DEFBKDB6 -i paton -a ********
You can also see messages on other tasks like these:
Stderr: ['C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\MQSI\6ABB0~1.0_I\bin\mqsiprofile.cmdmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.]
These repeat for each task.
The database creation fails because the wizard cannot find the product profile. This is a known problem on certain installations, and depends on the directory in which WebSphere Message Brokers has been installed (and whether it has been assigned a Windows shortname).
Solution: Contact your IBM Support Center for an interim fix to this problem. The fix will also be included in a future Fix Pack.
The Command Assistant Wizard cannot currently administer Configuration Manager components. A fix will be made available to rectify this situation.
There is a problem with validating or importing RPC/encoded WSDL generated by Microsoft .Net and Apache's AXIS, when the WSDL defines an array type (that is, when it includes a soapenc:Array definition). In this situation, the Message Broker WSDL Importer fails to resolve the data type because a namespace declaration cannot be resolved in the schema portion of the WSDL. The following error is produced:
The prefix "wsdl" for attribute "wsdl:arrayType" associated with an element type "a:attribute" is not bound.
Solution: Manually edit the WSDL file to add a wsdl namespace declaration to the main schema element. The Message Broker Toolkit can then import the WSDL file.
For example, change the following:
<wsdl:definitions ...> <wsdl:types> <a:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/encodedTypes"> ...
to this:
<wsdl:definitions ...>
<wsdl:types>
<a:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/encodedTypes"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
...
If you want to install the WebSphere MQ V6 Explorer plug-ins for use with WebSphere Message Brokers Toolkit, you can use the Eclipse Update Manager. However, you must first install the V6.0.1 refresh pack for WebSphere MQ V6.
From the Eclipse toolbar, select Help > Software Updates > Find and Install. Select the New features option. Add <WebSphere MQ installation directory>/eclipse as a new local source and the Explorer features will be shown as available for installation.
As a workaround before the availability of the V6.0.1 update, you can manually copy the directories containing the WebSphere MQ Explorer features and plug-ins into the WebSphere Message Brokers Toolkit directory. After restarting the WebSphere Message Brokers Toolkit, WebSphere MQ Explorer can then be opened as a new perspective.
When using the mqsimigratecomponents command on any UNIX system, you must ensure that the .odbc.ini has been updated to a Version 6.0 format. If the .odbc.ini file is not modified, the migration will either fail or give incorrect results.
To make a Version 6.0 odbc.ini file, follow these steps:
cp /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0/merant/odbc.ini /var/mqsi/odbc/.odbc.ini
This affects all distributed platforms (but not z/OS), and affects only domains that have a User Name Server.
There are two problems:
Occasionally, migrating the Eclipse workspace from Version 5.1.0 to Version 6.0 fails if you follow this procedure:
Solution: If you see this problem, manually migrate your workspace to Version 6.0.0.
If you are migrating from WebSphere MQSeries Integrator Version 2.1 and your broker database contains deployed message sets, you must redeploy the message sets from the Version 6 Toolkit before you start your broker. If you do not do this, an exception will be thrown when the dictionary for the message set is first used. This restriction will be removed in a future Fix Pack. Details of migration strategies can be found in help topic "Migrating and Upgrading".
Any users of the following Dublin Adapter solutions should contact Dublin Adapters Support (dubadsup@ie.ibm.com) for a version of the solution that has been tested on Version 6 of the Message Broker. Do not simply migrate the Version 5 solution as this can result in some subtle differences in behavior from Version 5:
Before attempting a migration of the solution to Version 6, any users of the following Dublin Adapter solutions should contact Dublin Adapters Support (dubadsup@ie.ibm.com) to check whether a version is available that has been tested on Version 6 of the Message Broker, and whether there are any further issues:
If you are migrating a message set from WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1, and the message set contains an industry standard TDS physical format such as SWIFT, and if you intend to deploy the message set to a Version 2.1 broker (or to a Version 5 broker that is at a service level prior to Fix Pack 3), you might need to complete the following steps after using the mqsimigratemsgsets command.
If you do not make this update, the following message appears when you add the message set to a bar file (CSD3 in this message refers to Fix Pack 3):
BIP0202W This dictionary requires a version 5 CSD3 or above broker. TDS Format "SWIFT" uses "Strict Numeric Checking". This option is not supported by brokers earlier than version 5 CSD 3.
You must correct this error before you can deploy the bar file successfully.
If you are migrating a message set from WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1, and the message set contains a TDS physical format, and you have set the Virtual Decimal Point property and the Precision property for the same element, you will receive a message in the editor Problems view when you migrate the message set. Review the element and ensure that only Virtual Decimal Point is set, by first selecting Precision and then selecting Virtual Decimal Point. The message will disappear when the file is next saved.
In the "Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise" section of the topic Defining an ODBC connection on Windows, the following text should follow point 3 in the list of steps to configure the driver:
4. Create a new registry subkey for each of your DSNs that reference a Sybase database.
Use REGEDIT to navigate to the correct location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
ODBC
ODBC.INI
5. Right-click the DSN, and select New > String Value. Specify SelectUserName for
the string, and set the value to 1.
When you add a message flow containing a Java Compute node to a bar file the first time, the JAR is added without any problem. If you then update the Java code associated with the Java Compute node, and then add again the same message flow to the same bar file, sometimes the JAR file within the bar is not updated with the latest Java code.
Solution: Remove all contents of the bar file before adding the message flow again.
Some messages are not committed on an output JMS destination when you use globally coordinated JMSInput or JMSOutput nodes. These messages become unavailable for subsequent processing because of their 'in-doubt' status.
Solution: Currently there is no consistent solution to this problem, although in some cases restarting the broker's queue manager resolves the 'in-doubt' state of the messages.
When using the Real-timeInput node with publish/subscribe applications, there is a possible memory leak in the DataFlowEngine process on all distributed platforms. The memory used by the DataFlowEngine process constantly increases, depending on the platform and the number of publish/subscribe clients.
If the DataFlowEngine process runs out of memory it stops. On Windows, an ABEND file and a dump are generated in the 'errors' folder. On other systems, an ABEND file and a core file are generated. The DataFlowEngine process then restarts.
For example, using a single message flow (with no additional instances) in one broker with one execution group, and 80 publish/subscribe clients on a 4 way - 4GB computer running Windows, the DataFlowEngine process stopped after approximately 1.5 hours.
You are likely to see errors in the system event log such as:
Java Virtual Machine OutOfMemoryError occurred. The JVM has reported an OutOfMemoryError situation.
The ABEND File might contain errors like:
File: F:\build\S000_P\src\DataFlowEngine\JavaNodeLibrary\ImbJmsIpJNIJmsIpNode.cpp Line: 417 Function: Java_com_ibm_broker_server_JmsIpNode_logFatalError AbendAction: 3
To resolve this problem, it might be necessary to stop and restart the broker, and increase the Java Virtual Machine Heap size. You can eliminate some memory issues if you use the Real-timeOptimizedFlow node instead of the Real-timeInput node.
The Data Flow Engine process can exhibit a memory resource growth over time when it is being heavily loaded with messages for a deployed message flow. This happens if the deployed message flow contains a Timeout Request message for processing by a TimeoutControl node that is paired with a TimeoutNotification node.
Solution: The memory resources can be released only by recycling the Data Flow Engine process.
The Timeout nodes can sometimes fail to process a controlled timeout request. This occurs only under conditions in which the nodes are being heavily loaded with messages for a deployed message flow containing a timeout request message for processing by a TimeoutControl node that is paired with a TimeoutNotification node. The timeout request that was not actioned remains unprocessed in the broker's internal timeout control queue.
On z/OS platforms: If you include a Trace node, with its destination property set to "User Trace", in a high throughput message flow, the owning execution group might stop (abend S2C1). Because Trace nodes are always active, they should not normally be included in production flows. But to avoid this problem, ensure that connected Trace nodes are not included in high throughput flows as, being always active, these nodes will have a high I/O overhead.
A user-defined extension project or node might not appear in the node palette, after you have put it into the evtoolkit\eclipse\plugins directory and restarted the Toolkit.
Solution: Whenever a change is made to a user-defined extension (projects or nodes) in the evtoolkit\eclipse\plugins directory, you must restart the Toolkit using the -clean option. To do this, either add -clean when you start the Toolkit from command line, or modify the Start menu. For example, on Windows, the Start menu shortcut would be modified to:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\MessageBrokersToolkit\6.0\wmbt.exe" -clean
Note: do not make this addition permanent because it makes the Toolkit take longer to start. The Eclipse plug-in registry (which -clean removes) exists to accelerate start-up time. If you remove it, the next Eclipse restart is slowed significantly.
You might find it useful to create a second Start menu shortcut ("WebSphere Message Brokers Toolkit -clean", for example) which includes -clean, to use only when necessary.
On systems running under load for more than 24 hours, it is possible that aggregation flows might occasionally fail to process the aggregation message correctly, omitting one of the messages to be aggregated. This problem has been seen on Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Windows systems.
Solution: None at present.
Note the following restrictions when using the flow debugger:
The flow debugger provided in Version 6.0 can be used to debug runtime brokers from Version 5.
Rational Agent Controller Versions 6.0.0.1 and 5.0.2.1 are supported for use with Version 6.0 brokers, but Version 5 brokers can only use Rational Agent Controller Version 5.0.2.1. (Version 2.1 brokers do not use Rational Agent Controller.)
Therefore, if you have previous versions of WebSphere Message Broker installed, and have a domain that includes both Version 5 and Version 6.0 brokers, you must use Rational Agent Controller Version 5.0.2.1. Do not update to Rational Agent Controller Version 6.0.0.1 if you want to continue to use Rational Agent Controller with your Version 5 brokers.
If you do not have brokers from previous versions, or you do not want to use Rational Agent Controller with them, you can use Rational Agent Controller Version 6.0.0.1. This is supplied with WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 on a supplemental CD and DVD.
Refer to the online information center for full details of what is supported, and which version of Rational Agent Controller you must install.
You cannot change the content of exceptions.
Do not try to debug production brokers.
Do not debug through the Internet, because the security function has not been implemented yet.
If you want to use the flow debugger, the names of a broker and execution group must be in English alphabet characters, whatever the locale of the computer.
The flow debugger might not function as expected if you step over Compute nodes which contain Propagate statements, or Mapping nodes. Set a breakpoint after the nodes in question to ensure that the debugger stops.
The visual flow debugger has a problem which typically results in breakpoints that have been set in certain complex message flows appearing to be ignored when they are executed in the runtime. In some circumstances this can cause the execution group running that flow to terminate unexpectedly. The execution group will be restarted automatically and continue processing messages.
If you experience cases where a breakpoint is not being trapped, that is the flow is not suspended and control returned to the workbench, then examine the system log on the host where the message broker runtime is operating. If you see the error BIP4353 "An error occurred in the JNI layer during flow debugging", this error has been encountered and you need to restart the broker runtime to ensure that normal operation of the flow debugger resumes for less complex message flows.
When attaching the debugger to a DataFlowEngine on Windows, a JNI exception, BIP4353, is displayed. In most cases you can continue normally. However, occasionally a flow will arbitrarily but consistently fail to debug. In such cases, the flow 'hangs'; it does not proceed to output, but neither does the debugger stop at any break points. If you detach the debugger from the DataFlowEngine the flow continues normally.
You cannot debug message flows that are in different Flow Projects, even if they are deployed to the same broker. To enable this, copy the message flows to one Flow Project and specify this project in the Message Broker Debug Launch Configuration Wizard.
Using the version 6 workbench on Windows, domain support does not work correctly unless the LogonInfo.dll and dependencies are in the path. If it is not, your computer's name is used rather than the domain name.
This can be avoided by starting the workbench from within a WebSphere Message Brokers 6.0 Command Console.
There is a possible memory leak when cross streaming in publish/subscribe applications (that is, when you use JMS IP Publishers and JMS MQ Subscribers). This affects all distributed platforms. The memory used by the DataFlowEngine process constantly increases, depending on the platform and the number of publish/subscribe clients.
If the DataFlowEngine process runs out of memory it stops. On Windows, an ABEND file and a dump are generated in the 'errors' folder. On other systems, an ABEND file and a core file are generated. The DataFlowEngine process then restarts.
The Java Clients might throw Exceptions like:
com.ibm.mq.jms.JMSWrappedException: MQJMS6119: An IOException occurred while publishing,
exception java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
com.ibm.mq.jms.MessageProducerImpl.publishInternal(MessageProducerImpl.java(Compiled Code))
com.ibm.mq.jms.TopicPublisherImpl.publish(TopicPublisherImpl.java(Compiled Code))
com.ibm.mq.jms.TopicPublisherImpl.publish(TopicPublisherImpl.java(Compiled Code))
The ABEND File generated will contain information like:
File: F:\build\S000_P\src\DataFlowEngine\JavaNodeLibrary\ImbJmsIpJNIJmsIpNode.cpp Line: 417 Function: Java_com_ibm_broker_server_JmsIpNode_logFatalError AbendAction: 3
The most common cause for the JVM running out of memory is setting the RealTime queue sizes to a value that is too large. For example, maxQueueSize and maxMessageSize (configurable using the mqsichangeproperties command) to a very large or infinite (0) size. Assuming that the number of clients is not too large, use these values:
If you receive the following message in the JESLOG when performing a database operation, it is likely you have set an invalid userid and password for that data source and have a failure terminal wired to an output queue:
BIP2616E MA07 default 24 UNABLE TO COMMIT A WEBSPHERE MQ TRANSACTION; 799 MQCMIT FAILED; QUEUE MANAGER=MA07, MQCC=2, MQRC=2195. : ImbMqManager(2211)
You need to apply the following APARs (when available):
In the interim, remove the userid and password set for that data source by running BIPSDBP where the command has been set up as follows:
mqsisetdbparms brokername ?n datasourcename -d
XA coordination of MRM messages with DB2v8 fails.
Solution: None at present.
XA coordination with DB2 Fix Pack 10 does not work correctly.
Solution: None at present.
On Windows 2003 Server with DB2v8 Fix Pack 10, the broker fails to pick messages from the input queue when there are multiple coordinated transactions (XA) in a stressed environment.
Solution: None at present.
On AIX an XA enabled WebSphere MQ Queue Manager fails to start cleanly if there is no link from /usr/lib to the Oracle supplied 32 bit client library 'libclntsh.a'.
To resolve this problem, issue the following command (as root):
ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/libclntsh.a /usr/lib/libclntsh.a
This will allow the Queue Manager to start cleanly.
If you see this error, increase the kernel parameters (msgmni, sem). These kernel parameters should be significantly above their minimum values and at least the highest of the recommended values for DB2, WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker. For example, the values set for a heavy workload environment where the broker has two executions groups with 200 flows deployed, and around 45 applications using these flows, might be as follows:
/proc/sys/kernel/msgmni 2048 /proc/sys/kernel/sem 250 256000 32 2048
The mqsimigratecomponents command might fail with SQL native error '2762' when using Sybase. This is due to Sybase databases not allowing more than one table to be created in a single transaction. The Sybase database can be modified to accept the multiple table creation by:
1> use master 2> go 1> sp_dboption "BROKER1","ddl in tran",TRUE 2> goThis turns on the option 'ddl in tran' for database 'BROKER1'.
1> use BROKER1 2> go 1> checkpoint 2> go
If you have Oracle9i or Oracle10g and DB2v8 installed on the same HP-UX system you might experience a problem using the broker with an Oracle broker database.
The broker is prevented from starting and an abend file is created. In the file you see symbols from the Oracle libraries resolved in a DB2 library, giving rise to a segmentation violation.
If you want to use Oracle with the broker, and have DB2 installed on the same (HP-UX) computer, disable the <install_dir>/lib/imbdfdb2.lil file. The easiest way to do this is to rename imbdfdb2.lil to something else. This stops the broker getting DB2 libraries that the HP-UX operating system then uses to resolve the Oracle symbols.
If you attempt to start a queue manager with XA resource manager definitions for DB2 databases you might encounter an initialization failure:
AMQ7626: XA resource manager initialization failure. Refer to the error log for more information.
An entry similar to the following will be found in the log for the queue manager:
AMQ6175: The system could not dynamically load the library <install directory>/sample/xatm/db2swit.
Solution: Start the queue manager by issuing the strmqm command from the mqm user after having run the appropriate DB2 profile.
Maps with database sources that have the database schema override setting "Use default runtime schema for this data source" fail when executed. A Database exception is issued stating that the database cannot be found. This problem is due to incorrectly generated code which should be rectified in an iFix. There is no known workaround.
On all platforms, the broker terminates abnormally if it loses its connection to its queue manager while processing a message. When the queue manager becomes available again, the broker restarts cleanly and continues processing. MQCMIT/MQBACK ABEND files or minidumps are generated as a result.
Solution: None at present.
