IV11979: WEBSPHERE MQ SEGMENTED MESSAGES IGNORED INTERMITTENTLY DURING MQGET CALL

Subscribe

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • An MQGET with MQGMO_COMPLETE_MSG fails to get a segmented
    messages even though there are segmented messages on the queue
    which should be delivered and the qstatus shows that there are
    no uncommitted changes to the queue.
    
    This problem is most likely to occur in cases where queues are
    accessed with considerable time in between each access or on a
    busy queue manager.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    WebSphere MQ users using segmented messages.
    
    Platforms affected:
    All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows)
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    When the queue which already has segmented messages is loaded to
    the memory, messages were being intermittently marked as
    in-doubt.
    
    Thus when an MQGET is subsequently issued, the message which is
    incorrectly marked as in-doubt is eliminated as a candidate
    message for the MQGET call. Thus preventing the message from
    being consumed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The WebSphere MQ code has been changed to prevent messages from
    being
    incorrectly marked as in-doubt which makes them available for
    consumption.
