I remember struggling with case sensitivity on a couple of the qm.ini attributes back in MQ 6.0. I donât remember what they were, and maybe itâs been fixed in MQ 7. We just go with our standard qm.ini file as a template which has all that case stuff correct. Well, I think its correct. This thread makes me wonder, how do I really <know> that Iâm running with Log Buffer Pages at 4096? I have it set in my qm.ini file, but I very well could be running with the default because it needs to be something like âLOGBufferPages=4096â and not âLogBufferPages=4096â!
I have a somewhat related RFE asking for a way to query the QM via MQ Client while its running for a complete listing of all the attributes its running with. This would be another way to verify that the settings you intended in the qm.ini file are in fact what are being used by the QM.

"Iâm confused with this topic"
Unfortunately, that is also how I usually feel after reading the qm.ini attribute sections of the MQ manual. If it was me, I would open a Service Request with IBM and ask someone to give me a definitive answer on:
1. Are the Stanza, Attribute, and Values that I want to use case sensitive?
2. Do the attributes that I want to use promote invalid values to the default value?
3. Please provide a specific example on how they should be entered.
Until IBM clearly documents this behavior in the MQ manual (which I have submitted a feedback request for this to be done), it is confusing and unclear to the administrator for many ini attributes.
More importantly, MQ needs to provide a way for the distributed administrator to verify that the ini attributes (mqs.ini and qm.ini) that she/he entered are being correctly recognized by MQ. Art's RFE is requesting for this functionality. Hopefully, at least all distributed MQ administrators who are reading this e-mail and can vote are voting for it!

Subject: Re: Channel Stanza :MQIBINDTYPE in AS400 server
Iâm confused with this topic, because I donât have manner to know if the stanza work fine. In the infocenter 7.1 for example, in the seccion: âOther things to consider for distributed queue managementâ says:
MQIBindType in the Channels stanza of the qm.ini or registry file. You can set this to FASTPATH or STANDARD and it is not case-sensitive. The default is STANDARD.
But what happen with the name of property? Is it not case-sensitive?
For iseries the property is defined with uppercase: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/topic/com.ibm.mq.doc/ia12390_.htm
MQIBINDTYPE=FASTPATH|STANDARD
And in general information is show mixt: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/topic/com.ibm.mq.doc/fa12610_.htm
MQIBindType=FASTPATH|STANDARD

Here is one thing worth noting and mentioning again for ini attributes in the MQ distributed environments. There are ini attributes where MQ will take an incorrect value and promote it to the default value for that attribute with no error or warning reporting. So for an applicable attribute where the values are case sensitive and the default value was No, you can specify YES and be running with No, unwittingly.
Thanks,
Tim

Iâm afraid I can no longer look at the code to check but as I remember the channel values specified in the INI files are compared in a case insensitive manner so you you could specify âFASTPATHâ or âfastpathâ without any trouble....or indeed âFastPathâ if you are feeling adventurous [Smile]

Subject: Channel Stanza :MQIBINDTYPE in AS400 server
Hi,
Iâve seen in the infoncenter version 7 for iseries(as400) show the channel stanza MQIBINDTYPE value in uppercase. Itâs different that unix and windows .
Does anybody know, if this stanza have to define in uppercase to work fine?
Thank you in advanced.
