IV73699: AFTER A REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) COMMAND, MESSAGES CANNOT BE PROCESSED USING SSL ENABLED CLUSTER CHANNELS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After a REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) command, messages cannot be
  processed using SSL enabled cluster channels.
  The problem is that there is a channel status inconsistency
  present between "display chs" runmqsc output and the channel
  status saved
  in the cluster cache.
  
  Display channel status shows the channel as running:
  AMQ8417: Display Channel Status details.
  CHANNEL(TO.QM1) CHLTYPE(CLUSRCVR
  RQMNAME(QM2) STATUS(RUNNING)
  
  Cluster cache shows:
  Qm(QM1) Live Seq(1425992591)
  Channel(TO.QM1 ) Stopping
  
  Cluster cache dump can be obtained by running an amqrfdm
  command:

  See step 2 - Collecting Data
  Point 3 - Collecting data manually
  

Local fix

• Restart cluster channels
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users issuing a REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) command and
  subsequently putting messages to a cluster queue with a local
  instance.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The processing of this command includes the local CLUSRCVR
  channel being stopped. The cluster cache status of the queue
  manager incorrectly remained as STOPPING instead of being set to
  INACTIVE.
  This meant that messages put to a clustered queue on the local
  queue manager and on other queue managers in the cluster were
  not workload balanced to the local queue instance, since the
  STOPPING status has lower priority than INACTIVE or RUNNING.
  

Problem conclusion

• The MQ queue manager logic has been updated to correctly modify
  the cluster cache status to INACTIVE when stopping a CLUSRCVR
  channel.
