Re: Batch Trigger Monitor
Hi, First of all, I would like to apologize for my previous mail. I was very surprised by some reaction, because I was thinking that this mail would be understand like an 'humour fed up mail'. (thank you Paul R. Mitchell). But know, I understand that it was a stupid reaction against a lot of little contrariety. This mailing list was the easy victim permitting my bad fury to decrease. What a bad guy am I ! I would understand that since now, most of people of this list could hate me so much. I would like to say that I'm probably the first one whose need the help from this list. I've never consider a person who asking a question like a stupid guy. On the contrary. I hope that next time, I will be more wise before sending mail like this one. Have a nice Friday th13.

WBI MB Internal Broker Database
Hi, Can someone confirm that the Database used by the WBI MB broker is used just for deployment, startup and shutdown purposes only and is not used for processing of messages by message flows that are executing? Can someone also please confirm that the Database does not need to be installed locally on the machine that is running the broker and can be installed on another machine as long as the ODBC (and any other configuration) settings are correct. Ideally we want to install the WBI MB broker on a Sun Solaris machine and have the Oracle Database used by it installed on another Solaris machine, as long as this doesn't effect performance. Is this something someone has done before and/or would like to comment on? Thanks in advance, Kulbir.

Re: messages jumps from localq to dlq
I think your looking the wrong direction when you focus on Paul's tool and your attempts to browse the queue. Quite the opposite, I believe it is the output that you received using Paul's tool to display the DLQ message that should be providing you with a direction to look. Your message on the DLQ looks like it was originally created by a UNIX application that identified itself as SMQSFromMQSerie. The new message on the DLQ was apparently created (just 35 hundredths of a second later) by a UNIX application that only identified itself as SMQS. If the message had been moved by MQMONNTP the DLQ would have shown his application as the putting application. Furthermore, not taking away anything from either your speed in running Paul's application or the speed of Paul's code, I seriously doubt that you got that far in 35 hundredths of a second. This does not explain the curdepth. That is something that will have to be looked at further. But considering the time stamp on the DLH of this message, I would suggest this SMQS was waiting on this message and for what every reason decided to move it to the DLQ. The reason code is in the range of application invented reason codes, so I would also expect that it comes from logic in the program that moved this here (ie SMQS).

Re: messages jumps from localq to dlq
Hello all, Philip, No, I am not using MQSI. The receiving application is Swift Alliance. Peter, regarding another appl, this is the tool I am using on a regular basis, and just gave up last night and went home after reporting the secondary results. HOWEVER . this is what I've learned in the past 2 hours (I'm a sick man, I get to work real early) The Swift Alliance application is receiving the messages - apparently on a polling schedule, not an MQGET with timeout, which explains why the messages would hang out for a while before disappearing from the target queue. SwiftAlliance itself is then moving the message to the DLQ, since there is an alarm message in Swift Alliance (for an incorrectly formatted msg, makes sense) that contains the MQGID of the invalid message, which matches the messages that are in the DLQ. I have never before seen an application move a message to the DLQ, which is why I didn't think to look that way. So, I reread the Swift docs this morning on the MQS interface, and sure enough, buried deep in the documentation (no index, of course, this is Swift) they mention oh-by-the-way that a message can be put to the DLQ with an error 65540 - invalid message format. Problem solved, case closed. I need a vacation, too many long days rushing to get this piece of s--t into production. Thanks for the responses. Dave Awerbuch PS. I will not be in the office tomorrow, so tomorrow will not be a Magic Day. = David A. Awerbuch, IBM Certified MQSeries Specialist APC Consulting Services, Inc.

Re: messages jumps from localq to dlq
Actually after taking another look the DLH time stamp is before the MD time stamp, which is odd. I'm guessing that some clocks are not in sync or possibly more likely the MD context was not simply passed from the original message to the DLQ message.

Re: WBI MB Internal Broker Database
Kulbir, Can someone confirm that the Database used by the WBI MB broker is used just for deployment, startup and shutdown purposes only and is not used for processing of messages by message flows that are executing? The broker database is accessed during runtime if you have message flows using Publication nodes or message aggregation. Can someone also please confirm that the Database does not need to be installed locally on the machine that is running the broker and can be installed on another machine as long as the ODBC (and any other configuration) settings are correct. The broker DB can be accessed remotely using a DB client. I don't know that this is universally supported, though. I have only seen it done with DB2. I don't know that you can't do the same with other DBMSs, I just can't confirm that it can be done. Ideally we want to install the WBI MB broker on a Sun Solaris machine and have the Oracle Database used by it installed on another Solaris machine, as long as this doesn't effect performance. Is this something someone has done before and/or would like to comment on? It will very much affect performance if you are using Publication nodes or message aggregation in message flows.

Re: mesage jumps from localq to dlq
Hello all, ((( I sent this message this morning, yet it looks like it never got around to anyone, so here it is again best as I remember what I wrote ))) I got in early this morning and attacked the problem again. Here's is what I discovered. The Swift Alliance application grabbed the message from the localq, and moved it to the DLQ with rc=65540. Seems Swift Alliance is in a polling loop, not on an MQGET with timeout. So, the message was showing up on the localq as expected, and then when I went to browse it, timing luck was against me - the message was swallowed by Swift/Alliance before I could read the message itself. Alliance was placing the message on the DLQ with RC=65540 (invalid format) because I sent only a plain text message, and not a properly formatted Swift message. It never occurred to me that an application would place a message on the DLQ; in my mind, the DLQ is (or was, nothing is sacred anymore) an instrument of the queue manager, and not used by the applications. Now that I have sufficiently kicked myself in the butt, I will once again thank everyone for all their input. [[[ As an add-on, Rich Brunette was right on with his interpretation and diagnosis of the situation, with the exception that I don't know why the original message MD shows SMQSFromMQSeries as the originating application, since the originator was actually AMQSPUT application on SWTSTAS01QM. ]]] Regards, Dave A. = David A.

Re: messages jumps from localq to dlq
Marc This is where I don't like to see applications using the DLQ themselves. To many do not follow the lead of how IBM uses the DLQ. When the CHIN moves a message to the DLQ it passes all context from the original message and simply identifies itself in the appropriate fields in the DLH. So in an ideal world the DLH.PutApplName is where we should be able to look for this information. And things like MD.PutApplName should tell us about the original message that caused the problem. This is where I made a mistake in the first reply to David. I trusted the MD fields to be valued with the original values as the Qmgr would have left them. Instead this message had almost no real identifying data about the original message. As long as applications fail to follow this model, I suppose you need to take everything in the DLQ message with a little uncertainty.

I have a local queue that is being sent to from a remote queue. The message appears to show up on the queue (curdepth goes from 0 to 1). But when I try to browse the queue using a browsing utility (Paul's MQMONNTP), the message does not show up in the browse list, but instead winds up in the DLQ. The DLH contains a reason 65540 (unrecognized). Question 1) What the heck is going on here? How does a message get delivered to a local queue, stay there for a few minutes, then get moved to the DLQ when it is retrieved? I am guessing that Paul is browsing the queue in order to build the browse list. Question 2) what is a 65540 anyway? I can't seem to find a reference to this number, and I did a google search as well as an ibm website search. I know that the MQFB_APPL_FIRST is 65536, but I can't find any reference to FB codes or RC codes with the value 4. Unfortunately, the messages are being received from a vendors production system into our test system, which I will not be able to conenct to again until Tuesday evening.

Hi, Has anyone encountered any issues trying to use the WBI MB (or MQSI) on Sun Solaris with Oracle as the internal broker Database and the same Database instance also as a Database for your messaging needs (i.e. routing, transformations, batching, etc)? I would be interested if anyone has done this with DB2 even. Is there anything I need to be aware of? Any recommendations. Regards, Kulbir.

Re: messages jumps from localq to dlq
Right, that's what I tend to do. I create .ERROR queues, associated with every .LISTEN queue, so that the app has a place to put poison messages without tying up the queue, and without closing the input queue and stopping mesage processing. That's why I did not think that another application was putting the messages on the DLQ. I don't think that way, so the possibility didn't occur to me.

JMS Listening Connector - Error occured in responding.
Having some confusion as to the source of a problem. We have MQ connecting to PeopleSoft via JMS (JMS Listening Connector). We send an XML message, and expect one back, but the reply is not XML. We do, however, get a reply. This tells me that PeopleSoft Integration Broker is correctly reading the ReplyToQueue name from the request message. The application code that is supposed to execute in PeopleSoft is not executing, I think (only because the reply is not formatted the way it usually sends data back). The data in the reply message is this: Error occured in responding. Defaultmessage : OnRequest for message %1 could not run to completion on node %2. Message Id : 974 Message Set: 158 NG_PS_VALIDATION PSFT_EP Also unfortunately, this is intermittant. This failure has occurred about ten times today, out of more than 40 transactions today (the rest were successful), and we have seen this before. Before I start blaming the application code for not sending back a formatted error message instead of an unformatted error message, I thought I would ask here. Has anyone seen this behavior? Is it from the JMS Listening Connector, and not from any application code? Is it complaining about MQ? If so, what part? We are getting a reply, so I think MQ is fine. Thanks for any response.

Re: A novice question
With due respect, if the STARTED transaction fails the request message gets rolled back along with everything else. That's why the SIL program browses the request queue. Request messages are consumed by the service program and in the same unit of work that the data messages are consumed. I agree that even this technique has the potential to throw more transaction initiation requests at CICS than it can handle. If that becomes a problem, then it's relatively simple to add a governor to the SIL. When I mentioned under advantages that the SIL could control the concurrency level, that's what I meant. But the suggested alternative with TRIGTYPE=EVERY will flood CICS with transactions even faster and there is way to slow that one down! Finally, I'm surprised to hear that CICS ignores STARTS once the threshold was exceeded. I know it queues up transactions requests when the currency threshold is hit. I suppose there is a limit to how many it can queue up, but then I would expect the START to fail not just blissfully pretend it didn't happen. -Original Message- From: Adiraju, Rao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A novice question Hi Raymond Few more options to toy with: 1) As Dennis suggested, you could design one polling transaction(program) on the transaction queue - read one message, issue EXEC CICS START read another message and so on... However, be careful about the disadvantages of this scenario -ie: once you fired of the START, you don't know the success or failure of that started transaction. So for example if the started transaction fails /rollbacks/aborts for some unknown reason, your polling transaction doesn't know about it, and happily will delete the message from transaction queue. There is no easy way of implementing a business recovery plan here. Please also note that, in CICS there are always restrictions on how many instances of a particular transaction can run at any given time and say it is set at 50. If you are issuing START TRNX faster than this threshold, CICS simply rejects the subsequent STARTs and worse thing is the caller doesn't even know that the STARTS are being ignored. We have recently bitten by this, and have to modify our polling program to enquire this maximum limit and wait internally before firing more. 2) Retain your current logic, remove the CLOSE on transaction queue and change the trigger type to EVERY. As a best practice, even after making EVERY, your program should issue a SYNCPOINT COMMIT after step-6 and should go for STEP-1 to 6 in a loop, until it gets 2033. This will safeguard the other problem I mentioned earlier - ie: CICS discarding the starts after crossing the max. threshold (Because in this case CKTI is the one, that is issuing CICS STARTS and the problem could arise even there). My preference is to go for option-2. Have fun Rao Adiraju WebSphere MQ Specialist The National Bank of NZ Ltd.
