    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    A process external to MQ corrupted shared resources which a
    queue manager
    was using.  The queue manager invoked  its error handling
    routines in order to
    write an FDC record, but the a defect in the error handling code
    caused the  process
    to loop and repeatedly write FDC records.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The defect has been fixed so that the error handling logic no
    longer loops.
