IT38733: A "STOP CHANNEL" request may fail when the channel is configuredwith multiple addresses.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A channel configured with multiple addresses receives a stop
  request while the channel is attempting to resolve the first
  address. The channel goes into the "stopping" state but
  continues to attempt to resolve the next address, which results
  in the "stop" request never being completed.
  

Local fix

• Use the runmqsc DISPLAY CHSTATUS([channelname]) command to check
  that the channel has actually stopped.
  
  If the channel status goes to 'STOPPING' but then goes to
  'BINDING' on another address, reissue the STOP
  CHANNEL([channelname])
  command.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  MQ users that attempt to stop a channel that is configured with
  multiple addresses.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  MQ channel code did not correctly detect a stop command when a
  channel had multiple addresses.
  

Problem conclusion

• MQ code now correctly stops a channel when a stop command is
  issued against a channel with multiple addresses.
