Diagnostic messages: AMQ4000-9999

Diagnostic messages are listed in this section in numeric order, grouped according to the part of WebSphere MQ from which they originate.

Reading a message

For each message, this information is provided:
  • The message identifier, in two parts:
    1. The characters "AMQ" which identify the message as being from WebSphere MQ
    2. A four-digit decimal code

    If a message is specific to a single platform, this is indicated after the message identifier. Although some messages are listed several times, each instance relates to a different platform. If present, the version common to a number of platforms is listed first, followed by versions for individual platforms. Ensure that you read the appropriate version.

  • The text of the message.
  • The severity of the message:
    0: Information
    10: Warning
    20: Error
    30: Severe error
    40: Stop Error
    50: System Error
  • An explanation of the message giving further information.
  • The response required from the user. In some cases, particularly for information messages, this might be "none".

Message variables

Some messages display text or numbers that vary according to the circumstances giving rise to the message; these are known as message variables. The message variables are indicated as <insert_1>, <insert_2>, and so on.

In some cases a message might have variables in the Explanation or Response. Find the values of the message variables by looking in the error log. The complete message, including the Explanation and the Response, is recorded there.
