APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the DR replication interface is disabled on the DR primary
  appliance then if an HA queue manager which is configured for DR
  is ended then it will not start even if the DR interface is
  re-enabled.

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  IBM MQ Appliance users configuring a DR partner for a
  high-availability (HA) queue manager pair.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Historical failure conditions were recorded when the DR link was
  disabled, and an omission in the HA/DR queue manager startup
  logic caused this condition to fail to be detected and cleaned
  up. This prevented the queue manger from starting
  

Problem conclusion

• The queue manager startup code has been modified to detect and
  disregard the historic DR link failure conditions during
  startup.
