Error description

  • WMQ : ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGES FOR REALLOCATION
    PROCESSING. ADDING MESSAGE COUNTS.
    .
    When a cluster channel fails, MQ tries to reallocate messages
    on the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE to a different cluster
    channel if possible. See the following link for more details:
     https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/338313
    .
    The start of this processing is indicated by
      CSQX191I channel <channel-name> beginning message reallocation
    The original channel failure message appears after reallocation
    processing completes.  If there are thousands of messages on
    SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE, reallocation can take hours, and
    high CPU will be observed in the CHIN job.
    .
    This APAR is to request additional informational messages.
    These messages will be issued frequently during the reallocation
    processing to indicate how many messages have been identified as
    eligible to be reallocated and how many of those messages have
    been completed.

Local fix

  • STOP CHANNEL MODE(FORCE/TERMINATE) is allowed to interrupt
    reallocation processing.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9       *
    *                 Release 1 Modification 0.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cluster channel message reallocation is *
    *                      automatically started when a cluster    *
    *                      channel fails, this may take some time  *
    *                      to complete, however no detail is given *
    *                      for progress or completion.             *
    ****************************************************************
    During channel message reallocation, the processing attempts to
    move applicable messages to a different cluster channel. If
    there are a large number of messages on the cluster transmission
    queue involved, this may take a long time, and quiescing an
    affected channel may result in CSQX192E. However no messages
    show the progress or completion of this processing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • New messages CSQX179I and CSQX180I have been added to show
    progress of channel message reallocation periodically and
    output when reallocation processing has completed.

    Add the following messages :
    CSQX179I
      csect-name Channel channel-name message reallocation is in
      progress, msg-progress messages of msg-total processed
    
    Severity
      0
    Explanation
      The channel channel-name is currently in message reallocation
      and the progression of this processing is msg-progress
      message processed out of msg-total number of messages total
      to be processed.
    
    System action
      The channel continues to reallocate messages. This process
      can take some time to complete if there are a large number of
      messages assigned to the channel on its transmission queue.
      An increase in CPU utilization might be observed during this
      time. Upon completion of the reallocation process the channel
      ends.
    
    System programmer response
      If reallocation is not desired, for example because the
      destination queue manager is now available, reallocation can
      be interrupted using STOP CHANNEL MODE(FORCE).
    
    
    CSQX180I
      csect-name Channel channel-name completed message
      reallocation, msg-processed messages processed
    
    Severity
      0
    Explanation
      The channel channel-name has completed message reallocation
      processing, and processed msg-processed number of messages
      during this processing.
    
    System action
      The channel reallocation for this channel has finished the
      channel ends.
    
    System programmer response
      Determine if messages have been successfully reallocated, and
      if the channel can be started again.
