We have the start of the trigger monitor in our start up script for WMQ on
every box.  We also have it crontabed to check if the trigger monitor is
running and restart if necessary.  Since this check was based on time, it
would occasionally beat out the start trigger command within the MQ start-up
script we use. This is when we encountered all our problems on an
intermittent basis.

To test this solution, we shut down the trigger monitor (get disabled the
IQ) so it would be re-started via the crontab and an echo of the
environmental variable at the top of the script showed it was not set.  Must
be a different shell or something causing the .profile exported variable not
to show up or be accessible by the crontabed script.

I took a call from a very kind individual who urged me to change the crontab
start trigger script. I won't use names as it might upset that individual or
the company he works for, but I do want thank him now.  Thanks for the help!

The trigger monitor calls upon features of the underlying OS to invoke the
triggered application. Of course, the specific mechanism varies completely
by platform/OS. MQFB_APPL_CANNOT_BE_STARTED is a catch-all that simply
reflects that the OS mechanism failed (or thinks it failed). To find the
exact reason sometimes takes a little patience--sometimes running the
triggered app synchronously, in foreground will reveal an explanatory
console message.  Most common causes though, are an OS (as opposed to MQ)
authorization problem, application cannot be found (as in path error or typo
in applicid), or application returning non-zero RC (which gets passed back
to the trigger monitor).

Regards,
Dennis

I don't have the answer but we see it too.

 We having trouble reproducing the error on our test system to trace it as
requested by IBM. It only occurs occasionally on some systems. X'109' or
MQFB_APPL_CANNOT_BE_STARTED is the MQDLH reason code.

Thanks

Hello,

        For the last several days we have been accumulating large numbers of
trigger messages in the Dead Letter Queue. We added this in the .profile
which was suggested in one of the forums as a possible solution
        # For Web Sphere MQ 5.3 SP 4
        export AMQ_SIGCHLD_SIGACTION=YES
        export MQ_SIGCHLD_SIGACTION=YES
        Still it did not work. Can you help me in finding a possible
solution
        Thanks

        Prasath Balakrishnan
