Peter, The MQSeries Programmable System Management manual shows the reason qualifiers for a Stopped Channel:
ReasonQualifier (MQCFIN) Identifier that qualifies the reason code (parameter identifier: MQIACF_REASON_QUALIFIER). The value is one of the following: MQRQ_CHANNEL_STOPPED_OK Channel has been closed with either a zero return code or a warning return code. MQRQ_CHANNEL_STOPPED_ERROR Channel has been closed but there is an error reported and the channel is not in stopped or retry state. MQRQ_CHANNEL_STOPPED_RETRY Channel has been closed and it is in retry state. MQRQ_CHANNEL_STOPPED_DISABLED Channel has been closed and it is in a stopped state. Even if a channel is in a cycle of retries, the event will tell you that and you would know if you have a problem fairly quickly. You wouldn't have to wait till the retries are exhausted. We just had this error condition occurred, and our monitor knew that we had a problem and raised an alert. But, if you want a channel event that's truly useless, it's the Channel Indoubt one.

Who cares when a channel goes to STOP? That only happens after a looooong time of retrying or if a user manually put it like that. Odds are by then you know there is a problem. An event I want to know about is when a channel goes to and stays in retry, or binding. Wishlist for the next version of MQ I guess.... -----Original Message----- From: Nick Dilauro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 2:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SYSTEM.ADMIN.CHANNEL.EVENT Queue You might also consider turning off channel events for these qmgrs if you're not using them anyway. They might be useful for figuring out a problem. However, if you don't use them you might find it better to get rid of them.

Generally, a recycle of the qmgr will clear this out. Or you can clear them out yourself by reading them or using clear qlocal. A reboot isn't necessary, although that does, by default, recycle the qmgr.

What clears out the SYSTEM.ADMIN.CHANNEL.EVENT queue? We have not modified the queue. Does a reboot of the server clear out the queue?
