Hi all...
Please, I´m facing a problem in AIX environment (MQ 5.30 CSD07):
MQ (or AIX) creates almost every day a copy of qm.ini, look an example:
-rw-r--r-- 1 mqm mqm 1335 Dec 06 12:00 qm.ini.20041206.120002.523838
-rw-r--r-- 1 mqm mqm 1335 Dec 06 13:59 qm.ini.20041206.135901.717550
-rw-r--r-- 1 mqm mqm 1335 Dec 08 08:39 qm.ini.20041208.083901.228885
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mqm mqm 1335 Dec 08 08:39 qm.ini
As you can see, the file is qm.ini.date.hour.something else.
What could cause this? The qm.ini is a read/write file, I think MQ can handle the file. It has no need to create another one...
This queue manager is in HACMP (cluster) mode.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
hmmm never seen that on any of our machines, are you sure
it is not done by a local script?
Cheers

It´s very very strange, IBM Brazil is trying to understand too...
Another machine has a copy too, but only one, look:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mqm mqm 1318 Dec 07 17:17 qm.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 mqm mqm 1318 Dec 07 17:17 qm.ini.20041207.171722.227411
My others machines and queue managers are OK...
I don´t think a script is creating the files... All MQ scripts are created by me!

Hi again,
Given that the Unix time stamp on both files are the same is there any chance you were editing the file and your editor is configured to automatically save a backup?
Cheers

| Are you using any of the BMC Patrol products for monitoring/administering your queue managers? I have seen qm.ini... files with names similar to yours and it appears to be a by-product of Patrol. |

YES Bruce, Patrol is installed! The first copy of qm.ini has the same date when patrol was installed...
I talked to BMC and they said that patrol doesn´t backup the file! Impossible, because I saw other machine with patrol and the same backup is happening. I think it´s solved, I will fight whith BMC now 
Thanks for all.
