Error description
ABEND0C4 can occur when a z/OS queue manager is added to a cluster with a distributed MQ full repository, but the CLUSSDR and CLUSRCVR definitions on the z/OS queue manager specify an incorrect cluster name. In that case, the z/OS queue manager creates an invalid cluster cache object, causing an ABEND0C4 while processing a DISPLAY CLUSQMGR command. (MQ Development confirmed a similar error occurs if the full repository is a z/OS queue manager).
Local fix
In Development testing, altering the incorrect channel definition to specify the correct cluster name prevented the abend
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9 * * Release 1 Modification 0 and Release 2 * * Modification 0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When defining a CLUSSDR channel to a * * full repository, if the corresponding * * CLUSRCVR channel exists but is for a * * different repository to the one * * specified in the CLUSTER parameter, * * then an invalid cluster object will be * * created. * * * * If a DISPLAY CLUSQMGR command is then * * issued specifying the full repository * * QMGR, then an ABEND0C4-04 in CSQM1DCL * * may occur. * **************************************************************** When the connection to the full repository is initiated, the full repository detects the incorrect name defined in the CLUSTER parameter. It sends this information back to the remote QMGR, who tries to reconcile its local copy of the CLUSSDR channel. Due to an error in the code, residual data is accidentally copied into the new cluster object. Depending on the nature of this residual data, subsequent processing of this object may cause an ABEND0C4.
Problem conclusion
A mismatch between the full repository name and the CLUSTER parameter will no longer create an invalid cluster object.
