Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users of multi-instance queue managers may be affected by this
    issue.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    When using multi-instance queue managers, MQ uses a file lock
    monitor to check the health of the file system. If the queue
    manager is no longer responsive, if for example it loses a
    connection to a shared file system, then the queue manager is
    supposed to end.
    
    During this sequence of events an unexpected additional error
    condition occurred due to a queue manager resource being
    unavailable from the lock monitor thread. This unexpected
    additional error condition was reported by the Failure Data
    Capture (FDC) record above.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The IBM MQ code was corrected so that the necessary queue
    manager resource was available to the file lock monitor thread.
