MQZ_INIT_AUTHORITY (Initialize authorization service) on IBM i

This function is provided by an authorization service component, and is invoked by the queue manager during configuration of the component. It is expected to call MQZEP in order to provide information to the queue manager.

The function identifier for this function (for MQZEP) is MQZID_INIT_AUTHORITY.

Syntax

MQZ_INIT_AUTHORITY (Hconfig, Options, QMgrName, ComponentDataLength,

ComponentData, Version, CompCode, Reason)

Parameters

The MQZ_INIT_AUTHORITY call has the following parameters.

Hconfig (MQHCONFIG) - input

Configuration handle.

This handle represents the particular component being initialized. It is to be used by the component when calling the queue manager with the MQZEP function.

Options (MQLONG) - input

Initialization options. It is one of the following:

MQZIO_PRIMARY

Primary initialization.

MQZIO_SECONDARY

Secondary initialization.

QMgrName (MQCHAR48) - input

Queue manager name.

The name of the queue manager calling the component. This name is padded with blanks to the full length of the parameter; the name is not terminated by a null character.

The queue manager name is passed to the component for information; the authorization service interface does not require the component to make use of it in any defined manner.

ComponentDataLength (MQLONG) - input

Length of component data.

Length in bytes of the ComponentData area. This length is defined in the component configuration data.

ComponentData (MQBYTE x ComponentDataLength) - input/output

Component data.

This is initialized to all zeros before calling the component's primary initialization function. This data is kept by the queue manager on behalf of this particular component; any changes made to it by any of the functions (including the initialization function) provided by this component are preserved, and presented the next time one of this component's functions is called.

Version (MQLONG) - input/output

Version number.

On input to the initialization function, this identifies the highest version number that the queue manager supports. The initialization function must change this, if necessary, to the version of the interface which it supports. If on return the queue manager does not support the version returned by the component, it calls the component's MQZ_TERM_AUTHORITY function and makes no further use of this component.

The following values are supported:

MQZAS_VERSION_1

Version 1.

MQZAS_VERSION_2

Version 2.

MQZAS_VERSION_3

Version 3.

MQZAS_VERSION_4

Version 4.

MQZAS_VERSION_5

Version 5.

MQZAS_VERSION_6

Version 6.

CompCode (MQLONG) - output

Completion code. It is one of the following:

MQCC_OK

Successful completion.

MQCC_FAILED

Call failed.

Reason (MQLONG) - output

Reason code qualifying CompCode. If CompCode is MQCC_OK:

MQRC_NONE

(0, X'000') No reason to report.

If CompCode is MQCC_FAILED:

MQRC_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

(2286, X'8EE') Initialization failed for an undefined reason.

MQRC_SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

(2285, X'8ED') Underlying service not available.
