IT19240: MQ APPLIANCE MANUAL STRMQM FAILS AFTER FAILED AUTOMATED STARTUP ATTEMPTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the case where the HA layer has logged a number of failed
  attempts to automatically start the queue manager (for example
  due to
  a full filesystem) after the issue has been resolved, running
  strmqm will
  fail to start the HA queue manager due to these previously
  logged failed attempts.
  

Local fix

• Reboot the MQ Appliance
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This issue affects users of the MQ Appliance who are attempting
  to use strmqm to start a queue manager which is part of an HA
  group, and has failed to be started automatically multiple times
  due to a transient issue which is now resolved.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  An omission in the logic of the HA queue manager startup routine
  failed to clear internal state from previous automated startup
  attempts when a manual start was requested.
  
  This meant that the queue manager did not attempt to start, even
  if the startup would have succeeded.
  

Problem conclusion

• This internal state information is now correctly cleared when
  performing a manual queue manager start using the strmqm
  command.
  
  If the original error condition (which prevented automated
  startup attempts from succeeding) still persists, an error will
  be logged by strmqm in the queue manager error log.
