Error description

  • Hursley finds, in an IMS TPIPE environment, symptoms of
    uncommitted messages looks to be a secondary effect of an
    unintended tight loop when NACK_TPIPE_STOPPED occurs.
    .
    In its re-creation scenario, a flood of CSQ2003E messages
    is generated, due to a defect that incorrectly performs a
    shutdown rather than suspending the connection as a response
    to the NACK_TPIPE_STOPPED

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 8       *
    *                 Release 0 Modification 0.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Multiple CSQ2003E messages while a      *
    *                      TPIPE to IMS is stopped.                *
    ****************************************************************
    Repeated attempts to send a message on an IMS Bridge queue while
    the TPIPE is stopped result in multiple CSQ2003E 'OTMA REJECTED
    MESSAGE - SYSTEM ERROR, SENSE CODE=000F0000' messages.
    The problem arises when the IMS Bridge queue control task
    CSQ2QCP0 handles the negative acknowledgment to the send, sense
    code '000F0000'x NACK_TPIPE_STOPPED.
    The failing message send is backed out and the message
    reinstated on the IMS bridge queue, CSQ2QCP0 then ends.
    However CSQ2QCP0 is subsequently re-started by the IMS Bridge
    member control task CSQ2MEM0, and attempts to re-send the
    message on the Bridge queue even though the TPIPE to IMS is
    still stopped. The send fails again in the same way leading to
    the reported loop.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CSQ2QCP0 has been changed for the reported problem so that it
    will be suspended rather than stopping when a message send fails
    because the TPIPE is stopped.
    While CSQ2QCP0 is suspended no further attempts will be made to
    send messages on the IMS Bridge queue, preventing the reported
    loop.
