Error description
rriAdoptMCA calls rrxStopChannel, it passes it the status entry in a handle. rrxStopChannel checks the ChanSeqNo, but rriAdoptMCA passes an incorrect sequence number in the handle. This results in rriAdoptMCA thinking that the channel has been stopped, when it hasn't been.
Local fix
Stop the receiver channel with MODE(FORCE) STATUS(INACTIVE). Then start the sender channel.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM MQ for z/OS Version 9 * * Release 4 Modification 0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Running channels cannot be adopted by a * * newer instance, and any other attempt * * to do so will fail with CSQX514E. * **************************************************************** The code which handles the channel adoption tries to stop the running instance with an uninitialised sequence number in the handle, which results in the channel not being stopped. The incoming channel will then continue to wait for the running channel to stop. As there is already one channel waiting for the running instance to end, if another channel attempts to adopt it, it will fail with CSQX514E.
Problem conclusion
The code has been changed to set the sequence number in the handle to the Channel Status's sequence number before attempting to stop the channel with rrxStopChannel.
