High CPU in the IBM MQ channel initiator job during reallocation of messages on the SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE

Troubleshooting


Problem

The IBM MQ for z/OS channel initiator (CHIN) is experiencing extremely high CPU. IBM MQ is recycled, but the CHIN immediately experiences the same symptoms. One or more CLUSSDR channels might appear to be hung.

Additional symptoms might include:
- CURDEPTH is high in DISPLAY QUEUE or DISPLAY QSTATUS output for SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE
- MSGAGE and QTIME increase in DISPLAY CHSTATUS output for SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT.QUEUE
