Error description

• The CICS Transaction Server is unable to connect to the queue
  manager and receives an MQCC=2 MQRC=2298 return code.
  .
  DFHMQ0309 E  CICS_Transaction Server Unable to CICS Region.
  connect using MQNAME WXYZ. MQCC=2 MQRC=2298.
  CSQM504I CSQMQMUP GROUPUR support enabled
  .
  When the queue-manager issues the IXCJOIN to set
  itself as active in the group, the XcfUData.groupUR
  bit gets set off.
  This happens just before the CSQ5001I message indicating that
  the queue-manager has connected to DB2).
  The bit is then set just after the CSQM504I message
  is issued, so there is a window between these two
  messages being issued in which the problem can occur.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHMQ0309 Unable to connect using       *
  *                      MQNAME qsg MQCC=2 MQRC=2298 with MQCONN *
  *                      having Resyncmember set to Groupresync. *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a CICS region, with Resyncmember set to Groupresync in
  its MQCONN definition,attempts to connect to a MQ region that
  is just starting it gets message:
  DFHMQ0309 E Unable to connect using MQNAME qsg. MQCC=2 MQRC=2298
  Just after this the MQ region produces message:
  CSQM504I +qmgr CSQMQMUP GROUPUR support enabled
  When MQ is starting up there is a small window between the
  IXCJOIN for the CFSTRUCT and the setting of the XcfUData.groupUR
  flag where it appears that Groupur is not enabled for the MQ
  region.
  

Problem conclusion

• CSQ5CONN has been altered to save the Groupur value from the
  CFSTRUCT and restore it before IXCJOIN.
