Error description

  • The S0C4 abend occurs in rfxAddCLQ when a clustered queue is
    defined multiple times in the cluster but with different
    QSGDISP. The problem occurs due to incorrect parameter passing
    in function rrmQSGCoexistence. Note that the same problem can
    also occur in rfxAddCLT for topics, in which case the CSQXRFXC
    abend offset will be different.
    
    Additional symptom:
    
    ABN= 0C4-00000004,C=MQ900.940.CHIN,M=CSQXESTX,LOC=CSQXRCTL.CMQX
    RECO+offset
    

Local fix

  • Ensure that different queue definition's in a cluster do not
    share the same name to prevent this issue from occuring.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9       *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When queue managers are part of both a  *
    *                      queue sharing group (QSG) and a cluster *
    *                      defining a queue with the same name     *
    *                      but different QSG disposition values    *
    *                      can lead to a 0C4 abend in the CMQXRECO *
    *                      module.                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    When two queue managers exist in the same cluster and queue
    sharing group, an attempt to define a shared clustered queue
    with the same name as a non-shared clustered queue will result
    in a co-existence issue which is incorrectly checked for by MQ,
    resulting in an 0C4 abend.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code has been corrected to avoid the 0C4 abend. The shared
    queue definition is propagated across the cluster, resulting in
    two definitions for the same queue on the receiving
    queue manager.
    Which matches the behaviour seen before in IBM MQ for z/OS
    Version 9 Release 3 Modification 0.
