    The problem occurs when attempting to process a SET SYSTEM
    EXCLMSG command. As the messages being excluded can be either
    qmgr or chinit messages, the list of messages must be passed to
    the chinit if it is active.  In this case the chinit is
    inactive, but an error in this checking causes an attempt to
    reference the non-existent chinit, leading to the 0C4.
    

Local fix

  • Remove any SET SYSTEM calls that might be executed before
    the chinit address space has started.
    For example, issue SET SYSTEM EXCLMSG(X511,X512)
    after QMGR chinit start up.
    

Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9       *
    *                 Release 0 Modification 0 and Release 1       *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend 0C4 experienced when using        *
    *                      EXCLMSG command on queue manager whilst *
    *                      chinit is not up                        *
    ****************************************************************
    Copies of the value of EXCLMSG are kept in both SYSP (for qmgr)
    and XPAR (for chinit). During chinit start up, it is copied from
    SYSP to XPAR. This should not happen if the chinit is not up.
    
    If chinit isn't running, MGBL.pMoverAlet is set to 0. Call to
    CSQMCMAS, to check if chinit is up, is not done as it
    depends on MGBL.pMoverAlet not being zero. csqmcmasrc is not set
    to an error return code as a result and copying is attempted -
    hence the abend.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code in csqjc00b.plx corrected so that CSQMCMAS is also called
    when the chinit is not active
