Error description

  • In some circumstances on slow systems if execution groups are
    repeatedly being stopped and started then it's possible for
    multiple execution group processes to be started for the same
    execution group which then leads to a loop as the second
    execution groups shuts down with the following error and is
    then restarted:
    
     +BIP2112E (Msg 1/1) MQxxBRK EGx 0 MESSAGE BROKER INTERNAL

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    In some circumstances on slow systems, if execution groups are
    repeatedly being stopped and started, then it's possible for
    multiple execution group processes to be started for the same
    execution group. This leads to a loop as the second
    execution group shuts down with the following error and is

Problem conclusion

  • The product has changed to improve control of execution group
    startup and stop to avoid duplicate execution group processes
    being started.
