  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When reconnecting to DB2, the DB2MST00 task can enter an
    indefinite loop in CSQIORF2 if a structure failed earlier, and
    any IVSAs were successfully orphaned.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *

    * CSQIORF2 occurs when the queue manager reconnects to DB2,    *
    * following an earlier structure failure.                      *
    * Other symptoms include:                                      *

    ****************************************************************
    When a structure fails, the queue manager attempts to close the
    connection to all shared queues held on that structure. If any
    cannot be closed (for example, if an application has an open
    handle to a queue), the IVSA control block for the queue is
    orphaned, and a new IVSA is created for the queue.
    If the queue manager subsequently disconnects from and
    reconnects to DB2, the chain of orphan IVSA's is scanned to
    determine if any new IVSA's are required. However an error in
    this processing can cause the same IVSA to be  examined
    repeatedly, leading to the task looping indefinitely.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The loop logic in CSQIORF2 has been corrected to prevent the
    loop occurring.
