Error description

  • Chin abend with ABN=5C6-00940001 due to invalid
    sequence of XA flows from client
    
    Queue manager is abending rather then rejecting the
    incorrect XA call.
    

Local fix

  • investigate the client application to determine the incorrect
    sequence of xa calls
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere MQ for z/OS Version 7 *
    *                 Release 1 Modification 0                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: XA_START calls are incorrectly accepted *
    *                      from applications while they are still  *
    *                      associated with a previous XA           *
    *                      transaction, resulting in unexpected    *
    *                      behaviour on subsequent calls.          *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    An application which is actively associated with an XA
    transaction should not be able to successfully start a new XA
    transaction through a XA_START call. However this is not being
    correctly restricted. If used with CSQSERVICE1, this can result
    in other XA calls being unable to correctly find the associated
    XID, resulting in various abends, including 5C6-00940001 when
    XA_END is issued for a started XID.
    

Problem conclusion

  • XA processing has been changed to correctly reject XA_START when
    an application is already associated with an XA transaction for
    non-TMF MQ applications.
