APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • A connection leak is seen following failover and reconnection to
    a queue manager if subscriptions are used from the resource
    adapter, and clone support is enabled.
    
    A trace shows an error with the stack:

    A new connection will be created after each
    reconnectionRetryInterval. The number of connections created
    will be equal to the reconnectionRetryCount.
    
    Eventually the reconnectionRetryCount will be reached. The
    mqjms.log will report
    [JMSCCThreadPoolWorker-10] JCAMessageBuilder Failed to reconnect
    one or more MDBs after a connection failure.
    EXPLANATION:
    The connection supplying one or more MDBs failed, and the
    resource adapter was not able to reconnect within the number of
    attempts specified by the reconnectionRetryCount property.
    

Local fix

  • Once the reconnectionRetryCount has been exceeded, the MDB(s)
    will need to be restarted manually
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects all WebSphere MQ J2EE Connector
    Architecture (JCA) resource adapter users, as well as WebSphere
    Application Server Version 7 users, whose applications create
    subscriptions with clone support.
    
    Platforms affected:
    All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    When a connection from the resource adapter to the queue manager
    was broken, a reconnection helper thread was spawned to
    reestablish the connection. This thread found what it thought
    was another valid connection to rebuild the subscription.
    
    This connection was also broken, so the attempt to subscribe
    failed. This broken connection meant we spawned another
    reconnection helper thread to rebuild this other broken
    connection.
    
    Both of these reconnection helper threads then attempted to
    rebuild the subscription. One succeeded, and the other continued
    to try to resubscribe.
    
    With each re-subscription attempt, the reconnection helper
    thread created a new connection, which was not closed. As clone
    support was enabled, each attempt failed, as we were already
    subscribed.
    
    This reconnection helper thread then waited for the
    reconnectionRetryInterval to try again. After this interval, a
    new connection was created, and the subscription failed as we
    were already subscribed. This pattern continued a number of
    times up to the reconnectionRetryCount, causing a number of
    connection to be created which were then not closed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • If a connection is created to rebuild a subscription, and this
    attempt fails, the connection is now closed.
    
    If a re-subscription fails because we are already subscribed, we
    do not continue to try to resubscribe.
    
    The connection leak following queue manager fail-over no longer
    occurs.
