A question from the sticks, Within the MQSeries shutdown scripts on our AIX platform, which was inherited, the following occurs.
An endmqm Quiesce of the qmanager is issued. If not ended after waiting 60 seconds, a Kill of the endmqm is issued and an endmqm Immediate is issued. If not ended after waiting 60 seconds, a Kill of the endmqm is issued and an endmqm Pre-emptive is issued. The problem is that I've had to rebuild 2 Queue Managers on 2 different boxes following an attempted shutdown and restart. This was done because upon restart the following message appeared: Starting MQ Queue Manager.... Log not available. AMQ7017: Log not available. I verified that a log file was infact missing (circular logging used). The common thing that I've noticed in all instances is that during the shutdown all of the above steps were executed (endmqm Quiesce, kill, endmqm Imediate, kill, and finally endmqm Pre-emptive). The AIX Administrator has informed me that nobody deleted any files on these boxes. Would killing the endmqm process and issuing another in this manor cause this kind of behavior? I'm guessing that this kind of action could cause the logs to be damaged, but not deleted.
