IT03414: MQ V 7.5 AMQRMPPA CPU 100% CONSUMPTION

Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • You have XA clients which call xa_open and xa_close in a loop,
    incrementing their rmid each time.
    
    When these clients are running against an MQ server, you see
    amqrmppa using 100% CPU and an increasing amount of RAM. A
    closer look at the trace shows that we are actually being held
    up by the processing being done in zswSaveRmid
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users of XA may be affected by this problem
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    A function iterates over a linked list of structures, one of
    which is created for each different rmid that we encounter.
    
    Every time that the TM calls xa_open(), it is passing in a new
    rmid. This is potentially causing the queue manager to have to
    iterate over a very long linked list of structures, and it is
    this which is causing the high CPU usage.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The change will cause MQ to release any memory allocated on an
    xa_open(), when xa_close() is called. Since the change prevents
    the internal linked list from getting too big, the time spent
    iterating this list should be reduced.
