IC61460: MEMORY USAGE FOR AMQZMUC0 PROCESS INCREASES UNTIL SYSTEM CRASHES

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • System memory shortages are reported or system crashes. Memory
    monitoring shows that the memory used by the amqzmuc0.exe
    process continuously increases until memory resources are
    exhausted.
    

Local fix

  • Apply fix file.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All WMQ V7 users running applications that use message
    properties, typically JMS or publish/subscribe applications, and
    also using message expiry.
    
    Platforms affected:
    All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    The expiry task thread in the amqzmuc0 process loops through the
    message chains removing expired messages. In the loop, memory is
    obtained to hold message properties. This memory is never freed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • WebSphere MQ has been modified so that memory obtained for
    message properties by expired message processing is freed when
    expired messages are removed.
