JR31343: INFORMATION SERVICES DIRECTOR 801: ISD JOB WRITING TO MQ CONNECTOR AFTER 1 MESSAGE SENT EOW CONTINUE TO BE SENT.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I have an Information Services Director job that has ISD Input
  to Peek to Transformer and then it writes to MQ Connector and
  ISD Output.  If no messages are sent to the job I see the
  expected behavior.  The job is running and not messages are
  written to the log.  After one message is processed by the job
  and written to the MQ Connector the job continues to send EOW
  (End of Wave) about every 30 seconds.  Looking in the job log I
  see the following messages:
  
     Item #: 14
     Event ID: 136
     Timestamp:: 2008-12-04 17:10:14
     Type: Info
     User Name: XXXXXX|dsadm
     Message:: Peek_42,0: --.
  
     Item #: 15
     Event ID: 137
     Timestamp:: 2008-12-04 17:10:44
     Type: Info
     User Name: XXXXXX|dsadm
     Message:: outWSMQueue,0: [IIS-CONN-WSMQ-000059] Committing
  transaction
  [IIS-CONN-WSMQ-000061] Transaction committed successfully
  
     Item #: 16
     Event ID: 138
     Timestamp:: 2008-12-04 17:10:44
     Type: Info
     User Name: XXXXXX|dsadm
     Message:: Peek_42,0: --.
  
     Item #: 17
     Event ID: 139
     Timestamp:: 2008-12-04 17:11:14
     Type: Info
     User Name: XXXXXX|dsadm
     Message:: outWSMQueue,0: [IIS-CONN-WSMQ-000059] Committing
  transaction
  [IIS-CONN-WSMQ-000061] Transaction committed successfully
  
  I don't expect to the EOW being sent when no messages are sent.
