Hi, we are having a channel problem. It probably is something simple we are overlooking since nothing special is being done.
The is an HP-UX system running MQSeries v5.1 sending to an OS/390 running WebSphere MQ v5.3. There are no channel exits and the firewalls have been opened. Here is the sender channel definition 20 : display channel (JESTER./QUQ5) all AMQ8414: Display Channel details. CHANNEL(JESTER./QUQ5) CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) DESCR( ) XMITQ(QUQ5) MCANAME( ) MODENAME( ) TPNAME( ) BATCHSZ(50) DISCINT(6000) SHORTRTY(10) SHORTTMR(60) LONGRTY(999999999) LONGTMR(1200) SCYEXIT( ) SEQWRAP(999999999) MAXMSGL(4194304) CONVERT(NO) SCYDATA( ) USERID( ) PASSWORD( ) MCATYPE(PROCESS) CONNAME(xxxxxxx(1418)) HBINT(300) BATCHINT(0) NPMSPEED(FAST) MCAUSER( ) ALTDATE(2003-08-12) ALTTIME(12.29.19) MSGEXIT( ) SENDEXIT( ) RCVEXIT( ) MSGDATA( ) SENDDATA( ) RCVDATA( ) I attempt to execute a PING CHANNEL and I get the following: 18 : ping channel (JESTER./QUQ5) AMQ9209: Connection to host 'muqz (xxxxxxx)' closed. The channel goes into retry and the error in /var/mqm/qmgrs/*DEV36AF/errors/*1.LOG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08/12/03 12:41:48 AMQ9002: Channel program started. EXPLANATION: Channel program 'JESTER./QUQ5' started. ACTION: None. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08/12/03 12:47:49 AMQ9209: Connection to host 'muqz (xxxxxxx)' closed. EXPLANATION: An error occurred receiving data from 'muqz (xxxxxxx)' over TCP/IP. The connection to the remote host has unexpectedly terminated. ACTION: Tell the systems administrator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08/12/03 12:47:49 AMQ9999: Channel program ended abnormally. EXPLANATION: Channel program 'JESTER./QUQ5' ended abnormally. ACTION: Look at previous error messages for channel program 'JESTER./QUQ5' in the error files to determine the cause of the failure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I checked all other error logs and there are no additonal errors. I dont have direct access to the OS/390 system and must go through a couple of people to get information. The channel (JESTER./QUQ1) still works, the only difference besides the name if the port is 1414. The dns name is the same for both channels. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
