Error description

  • A WebSphere MQ .Net application sends a request message to a
    z/OS queue manager and then tries to get the reply message but
    gets reason code 2033 (MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE). This occurs
    because the request message is not committed on the
    SYSTEM.COMMAND.INPUT queue on the z/OS queue manager.
    
    This only occurs when the .NET client sends messages to a z/OS
    queue manager. The problem does not occur when sending messages
    to other platforms.
    
    The same issue affects message reads by the .Net application.
    By default, message reads from queues at a queue manager hosted
    on z/OS, are performed within syncpoint.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    All users running .Net applications that do not explicitly
    specify syncpoint options when sending or receiving messages of
    any type or format.
    
    Platforms affected:
    Windows
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    The problem is caused because the WebSphere MQ .Net interfaces
    did not take into account that the default syncpoint behaviour
    on z/OS queue managers is different from that on distributed
    platforms.
    
    This problem was addressed originally in APAR IC56327, however
    a change was made in WebSphere MQ version 7.0.1.0 such that the
    MQPUT and MQGET functions are now implemented by class
    MQDestination,where the same error was repeated, rather than
    MQQueue. Thus the code changed by IC56327 never gets executed at
    7.0.1.0.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQDestination class has been corrected to explicitly specify
    the syncpoint options to not use syncpoint, where the
    application has left the option to default.
