Error description

  • If a java.lang.OutOfMemory exception occurs within a WebSphere
    MQ Managed File Transfer agent, then a
    java.util.ConcurrentModificationException can occur.
    An FFDC file is generated by the agent containing the following
    information:

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects all users of MQ Managed File Transfer.
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    After an unexpected error condition occurs within an MQ Managed
    File Transfer (MFT) agent process, such as a
    java.lang.OutOfMemory exception, before the agent JVM terminates
    an FFDC reporting a java.util.ConcurrentModificationException is
    generated.  This occurred when the thread that experienced the
    unexpected error condition attempted to disconnect and destroy
    any connections to the MQ agent queue manager that were
    previously created by that thread.
    
    This APAR, which is similar to APAR IT05252, fixes another
    condition where a data structure containing connections to a
    queue manager (otherwise known as hConns) could have been
    modified while a thread is iterating over it.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ Managed File Transfer product code has been updated to
    remove the condition where a
    java.util.ConcurrentModificationException can occur while a
    thread, which has experienced an unexpected error condition, is
    disconnecting connections to a queue manager.
