mq authorization
Overview
This resource allows you to manage a MQ autorizations.
Here is an example on how you should use this:
mq_authorization { "group/mymqgroup->MYQM1/qmgr/self":
ensure => 'present',
authority => ['allmqi', 'dlt', 'chg', 'dsp', 'ctrl', 'system'],
}

disable_corrective_change
Disable the modification of a resource when Puppet decides it is a corrective change.
(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)
When using a Puppet Server, Puppet knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet is managing. The normal Puppet process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.
Using the disable_corrective_change parameter, you can disable corrective changes on the current resource.
Here is an example of this:
crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
...
disable_corrective_change => true,
...
}
When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not modify the resource and signal an error:
Error: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/parameter: change from '10' to '20' failed: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change. (corrective)

Using the disable_corrective_ensure parameter, you can disable corrective ensure present or ensure absent actions on the current resource.
Here is an example of this:
crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
ensure => 'present',
...
disable_corrective_ensure => true,
...
}
When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet will not create or remove the resource and signal an error:
Error: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure.
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure. (corrective)

ensure
The basic property that the resource should be in.
Valid values are present, absent.

entity
The specfied entity you want to authorize.
This is a puppet parameter and not a managed property. Therefor it is only used during creation of the resource. Changes to this parameter in your manifest, do NOT result in modifications on the system.
Back to overview of mq_authorization
entity_type
The specfied entity type. You want to authorize.
This is a puppet parameter and not a managed property. Therefor it is only used during creation of the resource. Changes to this parameter in your manifest, do NOT result in modifications on the system.
Valid values are principal, group.
Back to overview of mq_authorization
mq_type
The mq type.
This is a puppet parameter and not a managed property. Therefor it is only used during creation of the resource. Changes to this parameter in your manifest, do NOT result in modifications on the system.
Valid values are authinfo, channel, chl, clntconn, clcn, comminfo, listener, lstr, namelist, nl, process, prcs, queue, q, qmgr, rqmname, rqmn, service, srvc, topic, topic.
