Error description

    data capture (FDC) record may be generated:

    The FDC's indicates that the memory being freed has already been
    freed. The UseCount has dropped to 0 so this is why it is freed,
    but the code is not recording this fact fully and once again
    attempts to free it in the ccxStageFree after the conversation
    it cleared.
    

Local fix

  • Changing the SHARECNV value to 0 may help.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    MQ Client or Channel applications with SHARECONV >= 1
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When a client or channel conversation ends, the receive pool
    header buffer was freed and a pointer to the unassigned buffer
    location was not cleared. Later, an attempt was made to free the
    pool header buffer a second time using the stale pointer,
    leading to the FDC indicating an invalid buffer corruption.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The stale pointer is now cleared when the buffer is freed.
