Error description

  • The client added 1 new Coupling Facility (CF) structure and
    altered 2 existing CF structures to CFLEVEL(5) . The existing
    structures and new structure were altered to offload to Shared
    Message Data Sets (SMDS). New SMDS were created for the
    newly added CF structure. When the queue managers in the QSG
    attempted to dynamically allocate the SMDS CSQE222E error
    messages were issued in the queue manager MSTR logs indicating
    that dynamic allocation of the named SMDS failed. The CSQE222E
    message text showed blanks where the 4 character QMgr name
    should have been. It is possible that during dynamic structure
    allocation that another task can interfere with the dynamic
    allocation process. When this happens the result is incomplete
    initialization of the SMDS state in storage, including
    replacing the spaces in the SMDS name with a QMgr name.

Local fix

  • Quiesce and restart queue manager to refresh in storage control
    blocks so that SMDS data set name identified in CSQE222E error
    message includes QMGR name.

    *                      other queue manager should be.          *
    ****************************************************************
    During structure connect processing, CSQECONN calls CSQEDSG1 to
    update the STRB with the pending state of the structure and
    associated SMDS status. CSQEDSG1 then runs CSQEDSC1 to refresh
    the SMDS state, making the pending values active.
    However, if another task calls CSQEDSG1 prior to CSQECONN, the
    pending state is updated, but the refresh will be delayed until
    connect processing is complete.
    This results in some state remaining initialised, but not set
    when connecting to the SMDS, resulting in the reported symptom.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CSQECONN is changed to issue a refresh when it detects that
    CSQEDSG1 has already been called by another task, ensuring the
    current state is up to date.
