Error description

  • The following messages were seen in the CHIN joblog.
    
    When the channel has USEDLQ=YES and the queue manager has no
    DEADQ defined:
     Sending side:
      CSQX500I CSQ1 CSQXRCTL Channel CH21.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 started
      CSQX565E CSQ1 CSQXRCTL No dead-letter queue for CSQ1, channel

      CSQX599E CSQ1 CSQXRCTL Channel CH21.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 ended
                    abnormally
    
     Receiving side:
      CSQX500I CSQ2 CSQXRESP Channel CH21.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 started

    When the channel has USEDLQ=NO:
     Sending side:
      CSQX500I CSQ1 CSQXRCTL Channel CH22.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 started
      CSQX785E CSQ1 CSQXRCTL Channel CH22.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 is
        configured to not use the dead-letter queue
      CSQX599E CSQ1 CSQXRCTL Channel CH22.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 ended
                    abnormally
     Receiving side:
      CSQX500I CSQ2 CSQXRESP Channel CH22.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 started
                    connection <conn-id>
      CSQX501I CSQ2 CSQXRESP Channel CH22.CSQ1.TO.CSQ2 no longer
                  active connection <conn-id>
    
    There was no indication of why the message was being sent to
    the Dead Letter Queue (DLQ). Through review of a trace and dump
    plus the MQ source code, it was found that the length of a
    message on the XMITQ was larger than the MAXMSGL for the
    channel.  Even the trace did not report the
    MQRC_MSG_TOO_BIG_FOR_CHANNEL reason code.
    
    In the reported case, the large messages were being sent by IBM
    InfoSphere Data Replication (IIDR) Q Replication (QRep).
    
    There should be a message to report the intended DLH.Reason
    code. For a different error for the channel, CSQX038E did
    report MQRC_Q_FULL.

Local fix

  • If you see a CSQX565E or CSQX785E message issued in the sending
    QMgr's CHIN log verify that the MAXMSGL on the SDR channel is
    large enough to handle the MAXMSGL defined on the
    transmission queue that feeds the SDR channel gets it's
    messages from.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a message is larger than the       *
    *                      channel's MAXMSGL, an error message     *
    *                      should report                           *
    *                      MQRC_MSG_TOO_BIG_FOR_CHANNEL.           *
    ****************************************************************
    A message sent across a channel can not be delivered to the
    target QMGR because it exceeds the maximum message length
    specified on the sender channel, MAXMSGL. In the usual case the
    message would be PUT to the dead-letter queue and CSQX548E
    'Messages sent to local dead-letter queue' 'reason=2218
    (MQRC_MSG_TOO_BIG_FOR_CHANNEL)' would be reported.
    However if no dead-letter is available, either because none is
    defined for the local QMGR, or because the sending channel
    specifies 'Use dead-letter queue' to be 'NO', then only the
    inability to use the dead-letter queue is reported, and not the
    original reason for the error MQRC_MSG_TOO_BIG_FOR_CHANNEL.
    Where no dead-letter queue is defined for the local QMGR message
    CSQX565E 'No dead-letter queue for QMGR' is issued.
    Where the sending channel does not permit use of the dead-letter
    queue message CSQX785E 'Channel is configured to not use the
    dead-letter queue' is issued.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Module csqxrmmq has been updated for the reported problem to
    issue an additional diagnostic message after the message
    reporting unavailability of the dead-letter queue. New message
    CSQX797E 'Unable to send message for channel channel-name'
    will be issued reporting the original reason for the send
    failure.
    
    New message CSQX797E has been added to provide additional
    diagnostic information when a channel send fails and the message
    can not be re-directed to the dead-letter queue.

    Explanation
       The send on channel channel-name could not be completed and
       the message could not be re-directed to the dead-letter
       queue.
    
    System action
    
       The channel stops.
    
    System programmer response
    
       Refer to API completion and reason codes for information
       about mqcc and mqrc (mqrc-text provides the MQRC in textual
       form) to determine why the send failed.
       Refer to previous messages to determine why the dead-letter
       queue is not available.
