Error description

  • Running a queue manager with long running transactions with a
    total log size of more than 4GB can lead to significant
    performance impact. MQ trace will show LOG FULL errors when the
    log is not full followed by delay in apiCheckPointPause
    function.
    
    Traces will show many entries for the following pieces of text:
    apiCheckPointPause
    hlgReserveLogSpace rc=hrcW_LOG_GETTING_VERY_FULL
    276850456  0x10806718  hrcW_LOG_GETTING_VERY_FULL
    Additional symptoms: AMQ7467 not advancing the
    linear log. Slow MQGET on cluster queue

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users using queue managers configured with recovery log size of
    more than 4 GB.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    A coding error resulted in an incorrect value comparison when
    checking recovery logs over 4 GB in size. This caused the queue
    manager to incorrectly determine that the recovery log was full,
    resulting in processing delays, and the incorrect messages being
    written to the queue manager's error log.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This coding error in the MQ logger code has been addressed so
    that the value comparison is correct, and this false log full
    condition is not encountered.
