PH19035: CSQOREXX PANELS SHOWING DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF CHANNELS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MQ z/OS support verified it's for using the CSQOREXX panels to
  display channels:
  When "Connect name" is different from "Target queue manager",
  the number of "status" (running ,this scenario) is 2 for
  channel rather than 1 when "Connect name" is same as "Target
  queue manager".
  
  MQ z/OS dev has confirmed the reported behavior in the LIST
  CHANNEL function of the Operations Panels (CSQOREXX), with an
  increased number of RUN status reported in the channel list
  output when using different target and connect QMGR names. In
  this case the '2 RUN' output for the receiver channel is not
  expected, when the CHSTATUS output shows only 1 instance
  running.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect status count shown on the     *
  *                      'List Channels' panel CSQOLCAA when the *
  *                      Action queue manager and the Target     *
  *                      queue manager are set to the same       *
  *                      queue manager, and the Connect name is  *
  *                      for a different queue manager.          *
  ****************************************************************
  CSQORLST gets a list of channels, and then issues DISPLAY
  CHSTATUS SHORT to get the status of the channels on the action
  queue manager. When the action queue manager is remote, only
  the private channel status is returned, and a second DISPLAY
  command is issued to get the shared status.
  An error in the circumstances where the last DISPLAY command is
  issued resulted in the same channel status being returned twice,
  resulting in a doubling of the status count (e.g. 4 RUN when
  only 2 instances of the channel are running).
  

Problem conclusion

• The error in determining when to issue the additional DISPLAY
  CHSTATUS command has been corrected.
