PH11350: CONVERTING THE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT OF TIME FOR CLUSTER MAINTENANCE MESSAGES; CSQX871I AND CSQX872I

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following messages current time unit of measurement is in
  seconds, where the Knowledge Centre states minutes:
  CSQX871I: csect-name Cluster maintenance has been running for
  num-mins minutes, phase maintenance-phase has so far processed
  num-records records
  CSQX872I: csect-name Cluster maintenance has completed after
  num-mins minutes, num-records records were processed
  
  Fix is so that the time being passed into the Messages can be
  converted to minutes.
  
  0x871L is associated with label  rrcI_CLUS_SLOW_MAINENANCE.
   amqrfxha.h is the one that sets up the message to be issued.
  It compares the current time with a variable called Delay.
  The comments in amqrfxha.h say:
  MQLONG Delay;    * Seconds before issuing first message *
  
  pMonitor is passed as a parm to the rfxCHECK_MAINTENANCE_TIME
  routine.
  When cruised for Delay and did:
  "/pmonitor" (without the quotes, to search for pmonitor in the
  results), seen it being set using rfxMAINTAIN_MON_DELAY_DEFAULT
  which is defined as
    #define rfxMAINTAIN_MON_DELAY_DEFAULT  600      /* 10 minutes

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect time reported in CSQX871I and *
  *                      CSQX872I messages when cluster          *
  *                      maintenance takes a significant period  *
  *                      of time to complete.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  When a queue manager undergoes cluster maintenance, CSQX871I and
  CSQX872I messages in the channel initiator log indicate that the
  unit of time will be reported in minutes, whereas the actual
  value is reported in seconds.
  

Problem conclusion

• The function used to determine the time output by the CSQX871
  and CSQX872 messages has been corrected to display the time as
  minutes.
