2008

TKU November 2008

In November TKU we enhanced the IBM WebSphere MQ pattern, and added the capability to display the queue in the Software Instance. This produces more simplicity in identifying the queue related to the SI. It is still possible to report on that attribute as well.

TKU December 2008

In December TKU we resolved a minor issue in the IBM WebSphere MQ where certain characters in the package name regular expressions were not correctly escaped which could lead to version not being extracted.
Characters in regular expressions are now correctly escaped.

In TKU August 2011 changed name of attribute "queue" to "queue_manager".

TKU August 2014

In TKU August 2011, the following changes occurred:

2015 - 2019

TKU April 2015

In TKU April 2015 the pattern was updated with the following changes:

• The following problem was resolved: The pattern might fail to identify the install_root value.(QM001876126)
• The following problem was resolved: The pattern might fail to retrieve complete information about running instances.(QM001873032)

TKU November 2016

In TKU Nov 2015 usage of model.host() was replaced as the SI can be run on Cluster(DRDC1-7213).

TKU June 2017

In TKU Jun 2017 Extended discovery pattern was slightly updated with new regex to not run PRIV_RUN if regular command returned correct output (DRDC1-8896).

TKU September 2017

In TKU Jun 2017 updated code for hosting_node identification

• Privilege command execution configuration using the pattern configuration block has been deprecated. A recommended method through the BMC Atrium Discovery platform configuration is described here.

TKU April 2019

In TKU April 2019 the following changes were made:

• Pattern runCommands updated.

TKU July 2019

2020 - present

TKU March 2021

In TKU March 2021 the following changes were made:

• Added new SI type for installations with no active queues (DRDC1-14962)

TKU April 2022

In TKU April 2022 we added the  _runmqsc_path attribute to the IBM WebSphere MQ Series Queue Manager SoftwareInstance.  This attribute will only be populated if we successfully run the runmqsc command.  It means the Extended Discovery pattern will only trigger if it knows it can run runmqsc.

TKU October 2022

In TKU October 2022, the setting of the _runmqsc_path attribute by the execution of  the runmqsc command was corrected so as to enable the extended pattern to execute even if the queue manager is not clustered (DRDC1-19674)
