PH72507: CSQY221I AND CSQY222E CSQSCTL QUEUE MANAGER IS CRITICALLY SHORT OF LOCAL STORAGE - TAKE ACTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following messages are seen in MSTR job log: CSQY221I cpf
  CSQSCTL Queue manager is short of local storage CSQY222E cpf
  CSQSCTL Queue manager is critically short of local storage -
  take action
  
  The messages CSQY220I issued over the time show a gradual
  reduction of free area in local storage.
  
  The memory leak is of eTROP control blocks from the 'CFM Thread
  Ops' storage pool. The eTROP blocks being leaked represent
  browse locked messages from shared queues.
  
  The memory leak is a result of a bug when an expired message on
  a shared queue is browsed with MQGMO_LOCK. Each time this
  happens, a 120 byte CSQE_Browse_Locked_Designation eTROP is
  leaked.
  

Local fix

• There is no circumvention for this problem, except avoiding the
  described application pattern.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A leak of eTROP control blocks led to   *
  *                      local storage being exhausted in the    *
  *                      Queue Manager Address space and message *
  *                      CSQY221I is output in the Queue Manger  *

  ****************************************************************
  The memory leak of eTROP control blocks occurs when an attempt
  to browse lock an expired message on a shared queue with the
  MQGMO option MQGMO_LOCK. In this scenario an eTrop of size 120
  bytes is leaked.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been corrected to correctly free the eTROP that is
  created when attempting to browse lock an expired message on a
  shared queue.
