Error description
MQ issues CSQXDISP DISPATCHER PROCESS ERROR, TCB=x, abnormally terminating the channel with CSQX599E. Channel limits may be exceeded indicated by CSQX014E CSQXSRSP LISTENER EXCEEDED CHANNEL LIMIT, TRPTYPE=trptype. The CHINIT abends with ABN= 0C4-00000011,LOC=CSQXBNTM.????????+00C96. In the APAR'd case the failing code is in CMQZUTRA at offset x692. Development finds this occurs even with the PTF UO02826 already APPLIED, which PH65348 intended to fix. That original problem was an xtr_data_zos trace point in zutParseTraceRouteHeader. This function is included in CSECTs CMQZUTRA and CSQXZUTR. CMQZUTRA is part of QMGR LMOD CSQTOPLM. CSQXZUTR is part of CHIN LMODs CSQXRCTL and CSQXSUPR. The problem here is that when the fix for UO02826 was built, it only included the QMGR CSECT CMQZUTRA. This results in the problem still existing for calls to zutParseTraceRouteHeader in CSQXZUTR, which is the version used by the CHIN.
Local fix
Disable MQ CHINIT trace. Depending on how CHINIT trace is started, users may also need to disable TRACE(CHINIT) TNO(0) (i.e. if TRAXSTR=YES is configured).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9 * * Release 4 Modification 0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When processing a trace route message * * with CHINIT trace enabled, it is * * possible for an S0C4 abend to occur in * * the channel initiator. * **************************************************************** The fix for APAR PH65348 corrected a trace point that was causing abends when CHINIT trace was enabled. However, the fix was only applied to the queue manager code. The channel initiator uses a separate copy of this code which was not included in the fix. As a result, the problem continued to occur in the channel initiator when processing trace route messages with CHINIT trace enabled.
Problem conclusion
The fix from PH65348 has been applied to the channel initiator version of the code.
