Solution ID: P17626
FACT(s) (Environment):
IBM AIX
SonicMQ 4.x
SYMPTOM(s):
SonicMQ install shield creates entries within the AIX registry
CAUSE:
The SonicMQ installation on AIX requires root permission which is causing
the install shield to create entries with the ODM of AIX.
To see what entries have been added, execute the following:
# export ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos
# odmget vendor
Anything that starts with "SonicMQ.40" was added during the 4.0 install.
FIX:
There are no runtime dependencies to the AIX registry and SonicMQ will be
functioning the same way wether there are that AIX registry entries within the ODM or not. That entries within the ODM are removed cleanly after uninstalling as well using uninstall.sh and SonicMQ is working properly after restoring it from a clean file backup without the ODM entries.
In SonicMQ version 5.0, you will be able to perform a non-root install on AIX without creating that registry entries.
