Re: Listener
Stopping a QM often don't stop the listener. So when restart the whole QM (and listener, ...) the strmqlsr fail as the preceding listener is still alive. In some architecture (OS/400), nobody cares, the old one is same as the new listener. In Aix boxes, the old listener was unable to talk with the restarted QM. I suspect in windows there is no side effect, but ... how know ? So stopping & restarting the listener should be a safe mesure HTH, Luc-Michel.

Re: AMI elimination (was MQ and DB2 stored procedures)
Technically, they didn't say AMI was definitely gone. Just that it is no longer included in the base MQ product for OS/390. Now OS/390 MQ users (like distributed users have been for a while) will have to download it separately as a support Pac. I guess you could infer it is on its way out if IBM did that, especially when they asked for a show of hands of how many people were using it in a room of about 300-400, and 2 people (that I saw) raised their hand.

Make sure you get the latest media and then the latest CSD (there may be one on the web site). In addition to this we found a bug where MQSeries objects kept becoming damaged.
