Channel Not Activated

Event name:

Channel Not Activated.

Reason code in MQCFH:

MQRC_CHANNEL_NOT_ACTIVATED (2296, X'8F8').
Channel cannot be activated.

Event description:

This condition is detected when a channel is required to become active, either because it is starting, or because it is about to make another attempt to establish connection with its partner. However, it is unable to do so because the limit on the number of active channels has been reached. See the following:

MaxActiveChannels parameter in the qm.ini file for AIX® and Solaris.
MaxActiveChannels parameter in the Registry for Windows.
ACTCHL parameter on the ALTER QMGR command for z/OS®.

The channel waits until it is able to take over an active slot released when another channel ceases to be active. At that time a Channel Activated event is generated.
