Issue/Introduction
How are wildcards (asterisks) interpreted by the MQ 'QMGR' parameter within the COMMCFG file?
For example if have an entry: VD* MQSC A11QA.VDESK.TD01.REQUEST *MQTEST A11QA.VDESK.TD01.REPLY
Q1: What does the QMGR name "*MQTEST" resolve to? Q2: Where to find documentation on how QMGRs with a "*" (asterisk wildcard) in their name are resolved?
Environment
Release: Component: Distributed"
Resolution
Gen does not treat the asterisk for the QMGR parameter as a wildcard or anything like that, it is just another character. And Gen only documents a wildcard entry for the Gen trancode, nothing for MQ and more specifically the QMGR parameter is documented. Recommend checking the MQ documentation (IBM) regarding using wildcards for the QMGR parameter.
