MQ build custom image link to PassportAdvantage was moved?

Open RapTho opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Task

I tried to build my own MQ container image and followed the following instructions: https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-container/blob/master/docs/building.md#building-a-production-image

Problem

Turns out that the documented link is no longer valid or access is not provided despite the fact that I signed into Passport Advantage: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/downloading-ibm-mq-930

Could the following link be the correct one? https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/downloading-ibm-mq-93-lts#930other

Expectated behavior

I can download the required MQ archive from the documented link.

I think the link should just be https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/downloading-ibm-mq-93.

I'm using getMQFix.jar to download prod image from Passport Advantage. Makefile snippet:

mq-container/downloads/$(VER)-IBM-MQ-Advanced-Non-Install-LinuxX64.tar.gz:
        $(CAT) etc/.passwd |$(JAVA) -Dhttps.proxyHost=$(HTTP_PRX_IP)   \
                        -Dhttps.proxyPort=$(HTTP_PRX_PORT)           \
                        -jar bin/GetMQFix.jar -u $(IBM_USER) \
                        -o $(dir $@) $(basename $(basename $(notdir $@)))```
                        
at the runtime:

/usr/bin/cat etc/.passwd |/usr/bin/java -Dhttps.proxyHost=x.x.x.x
-Dhttps.proxyPort=3128
-jar bin/GetMQFix.jar -u [email protected]
