Error description

  • Enable CHAD and CHADEV on queue manager, but
    MQRC_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_OK event is not generated.
    
    Test steps:

    QMRCVR
    2. On QMRCVR:
       alter qmgr CHAD(ENABLED) CHADEV(ENABLED)
       define a listener
    3. On QMSDR:
       define SDR channel to QMRCVR
       start SDR channel
    4. Check channel status on both QMSDR and QMRCVR, the channel is
    running, but MQRC_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_OK event is not generated

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users of MQ V8 and later with channel event monitoring enabled.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The MQRC_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_OK event message was not correctly
    generated during the initialization of an auto-receiver channel.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ 7.0.0.x product generated the MQRC_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_OK
    event before the auto-defined receiver channel had completed the
    adoption of the appropriate security context.
    
    This was changed in MQ 7.0.1.x of the product however the
    MQRC_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_OK event was not produced.
    
    The channel initialization code has been changed to allow the
    generation of the MQRC_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_OK event in the same way
    as the MQ 7.0.0.x product.
    
    The following properties can be added to the Channels stanza of
    the qm.ini file
    
    Channels:
       ChadEarlyCreate=[Yes | No]
       ChadEarlyStartEvent=[Yes | No]
    
    The default settings are
       ChadEarlyCreate=No
       ChadEarlyStartEvent=No
    
    Only customers who have a dependency on the MQ 7.0.0.x behavior
    of auto-defined channel events should consider implementing this
    property.
