Thanx, Rebecca. I understand what you're saying. Since several channels on my system are consistently active, I have seen dynamic channels on the systems that connect to mine and I assume that I may have dynamic channels created for some or all of that activity. But I can still say unequivocally that given the numbers we produce in my environment, I can't see us reaching 200 channels in use. What I plan to do is monitor the traffic more closely. I will also be checking the logs more closely for other messages which might provide more information.

That will bump your active channel count up.

I have the M&C. The problem is that I have a limit of 200 channels that I know was not even remotely approached during our peak operating periods, yet the message shows up. The 'For example' part is useless and should have been omitted because it is not accurate or truly specific about whatever the actual problem was that caused the message to be generated. The useful part is the procedure to stop and start the channel. the rest is just guessing and has no place in a manual that is supposed to help with problem diagnosis and resolution. I have less than 50 channels defined.

Sent by: MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] en.AC.AT> 08/22/2003 02:02 AM Please respond to MQSeries List CSQX558E csect-name Remote channel channel-name not available Explanation: The channel channel-name at the remote queue manager is currently stopped or is otherwise unavailable. For example, there might be too many channels current to be able to start it. Severity: 8 System Action: The channel does not start. System Programmer Response: This might be a temporary situation, and the channel will retry. If not, check the status of the channel at the remote queue manager. If it is stopped, issue a START CHANNEL command to restart it. If there are too many channels current, either wait for some of the operating channels to terminate, or stop some channels manually, before restarting the channel. -----Original Message----- From: EARmerc Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 August 2003 10:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: message CSQX558E - too many channels? Thanx, Joep, I looked and found values of 200, which should have been enough considering our current level of activity. I am thinking that the message doc is somewhat misleading. I am assuming that dynamic channels are included in the specification and we are IP-only. I'll do some more research on the problem. again, Thanx. Ernest Roberts IT - Sr Sys Prog MBUSA, LLC __________________ Robert, There are several parameters limiting the number of active channels. They are in CSQ6CHIP. See sample SCSQPROC(CSQ4X4PRM). Have a look at ACTCHL, CURRCHL, LU62CHL and TCPCHL. Cheers, Joep -----Original Message----- From: EARmerc Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 21 augustus 2003 16:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: message CSQX558E - too many channels? Hello MQ persons, We are running MQ v 5.3 on OS/390 v2.10. Our qmgr reported message CSQX558E for a channel and the M&C guide said about this: "there might be too many channels current to be able to start it." The channel appeared to have no problem after a STOP and then a START were issued. What I want to do is make sure I am not restricting our growing MQ traffic with my current parameter settings. Is there a parameter that actually limits the number of active channels? Is there a DISPLAY command that can show that parameter value? I found parameter "CTHREAD=300" in the assembly JCL for CSQ6SYSP. Also, "IDBACK=20" was specified for non-TSO connections. The doc doesn't give a clear indication of what the parameters affect, but does state that a channel initiator can have more than one connection to a qmgr. Am I on the right track with this issue? should I alter those parameters upward? Thanx in advance?
