Re: Channel going (RETRYING)

2004-02-17 Thread Khedr, Hossam (GEI, MORT)
Thanks for your help, I looked at my log and couldn't make any sense of it. I attached 
the log below.
Thanks,
Hossam


AMQ7924: Bad length in the PCF header (length = 538976288).

EXPLANATION:
Message data conversion cannot convert a message in Programmable Command Format
(PCF) because the PCF header structure contains an incorrect length field.
Either the message has been truncated, or it contains data that is not valid.
ACTION:
Use the standard facilities supplied with your system to record the problem
identifier, and to save the generated output files. Do not discard these files
until the problem has been resolved. Use the file containing the Message
Descriptor of the message to determine the source of the message and to see how
data that is not valid became included in the message.

AMQ6184: An internal WebSphere MQ error has occurred on queue manager ENT.QMGR.

EXPLANATION:
An error has been detected, and the WebSphere MQ error recording routine has
been called. The failing process is process 13759.
ACTION:
Use the standard facilities supplied with your system to record the problem
identifier, and to save the generated output files. Contact your IBM support
center.  Do not discard these files until the problem has been resolved.

Subject: Re: Channel going (RETRYING)


The reason for a channel going to RETRYING will be recorded in the error
log at one end of the channel or the other (sometimes both if you are
lucky).

On the Solaris system, the error log is
/var/mqm/qmgrs/QMGRNAME/errors/AMQERR01.LOG  -- QMGRNAME is the actual name
of your queue manager, not a contant.
The ...01.LOG is always the newest log file, the 02 and 03 versions are
progressively older.

On a mainframe you need to look in the JES log for the CHIN address space.
Look for messages which contain the channel name.

I'm trying to set my first test with MQ. I created all needed Qs and
channels or at lease this is what I think :)  I tried MQSender.java to send
a message from Solaris to Mainframe; however it worked couple of times, and
then the sender channel went crazy. every time you use this channel it gets
activated by the XMITQ and then dies , when I checked the status of the
channel using mqsc, I found it at STATUS(RETRYING). Any idea or clues would
be much appreciated .

Thanks,
Hossam Khedr

Help with MQ, COM-PLETE and 2219 errors.

2004-02-17 Thread Gary P. Klos
I'm writing to you all in hope you can help, because it seems no one else
can.  We have been using MQ together with Natural / Adabas under COM-PLETE
and CICS, for about two years now.  Everything running online under CICS
has worked just fine.  However along with CICS we run Software AG's
COM-PLETE TP monitor, which is like CICS in that sense.  We run batch
Natural without any problems that I'm aware of.  The problem occurs when we
run Natural with MQ online in COM-PLETE.  Occasionally we get 2219 errors,
which says MQRC_CALL_IN_PROGRESS, or another words you can't issue more
than one API call for one connection while another call is in progress for
that connection.  It is extremely random when the error comes up.
Sometimes it is as soon as you log in and run a program which accesses MQ,
or it could be after you have been logged in for a while.  Sometimes the
only way to get around it is to log off all together and come back in.  Now
I don't know that much about COM-PLETE, but it sounds as if various people
coming in are getting the same connection handle (hard to prove when error
occurs) and if one is already doing an API call then the other gets the
2219.  At least that is my suspicions.  Do any of you know of a way to get
around this problem?  Do you think that is what it is?  Any help on this
subject would be appreciated.

CSQV086E @MQSB QUEUE MANAGER ABNORMAL TERMINATION REASON=00C60004

2004-02-17 Thread earMERC Roberts
Hi,

I put on some maintenance on WMQ Ver 5.3 on OS/390 V2.10.  I got the
following messages. I searched the WMQ doc and I went on IBMLINK and could
not get a clear indication of how to debug the CSQV086E w/Reason Code
00C6004. When I backed out the maintenance, I was greeted by S6C6 abends. I
re-initialized the LOGs, BSDS files and the Page datasets and everything
started OK. Since this was a test Queue Manager, there was no big impact. I
am not comfortable with that solution or the fact that I could not find a
clear path in the doc to at least identify the problem

I have opened a problem record with IBM on this, but I'd be interested to
know if anyone has seen anything like the messages below and if so, what
was done to identify and to solve the problem. Right now, the path through
the diagnostics is the more important part of the answer, as far as I am
concerned

Rao,

I am
not sure whether this will do what you want, but...

We
have a script that runs every night. It uses the client version of saveqmgr to
connect to each MQSeries server on all our known port numbers and attempt to
save the queue manager configuration). Next it uses a version control system to
compare the new saveqmgr scripts with yesterday's and mails a summary to the
mqadmin group. It also checks the changes into a version control system, so we have a
history of what changes were made and when.

Thus
we get a list of queue managers that have changed on a daily basis. If somebody
deletes a queue or queue manager, this is recorded in the logs and sent as part
of the mail. It doesn't tell you who changed the stuff, but at least it
gives you a starting point...

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 February 2004
04:38To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: MQ audit tracking
/ reporting
Fellows 
We have a request to audit the changes to MQ objects
- ie basically to report on periodical basis who created the objects and who
deleted the objects and when (date  time). Our primary focus is on
Windows  SUN Solaris platforms. 
As you all know, Windows administrators and as well
as UNIX "root" users inherit all the securities on the MQ objects and there is
nothing much we can do within MQ to stop it. Am I right in making this statement
(or can we do something). We are preventing normal users to create objects
using OAM. 
Let me explain the background where I am coming from:

We have situations where there are number of users in
server administration group and only one or two in MQM group as designated MQ
administrators. And the responsibility of maintaining MQ objects, obviously,
falls in to MQM group users. Now the question being raised, how do we track
 report changes done by other administrators who are not in the "mqm"
group. 
I do fully know that, if some administrator
intentionally kills the queue manager and/or deletes the queue/log folders
nothing much can be done - that's bad luck and other than tracking down UNIX /
Windows logs who was logged on at that time etc.. It's not my current
primary focus of the question. 
But if one of those other administrators
adds/deletes queues, channels and forget to inform the "official" MQ
administrator, is there anything this (poor) MQ administrator can
rely/report on. 
I gave a go with DMPMQLOG utility and tried to
analyse the report - even though it shows the user-id created the objects, it
doesn't show the user-id who deleted the object and most importantly the date
and time. 
1) Am I missing something in the log or analysis
process ??? 
2) Is there anyway to filter the log by log record
type - ie: Create  Delete objects only 
3) Are there any other better ways to report the
differences and their audit trail 
4) Through OAM process can we prevent administrator
group users to create/delete the objects 
Appreciate your feedback/experiences.

IBM is going to look at the dump to identify the table (I hope). I didn't

Hi,

I put on some maintenance on WMQ Ver 5.3 on OS/390 V2.10.  I got the
following messages. I searched the WMQ doc and I went on IBMLINK and could
not get a clear indication of how to debug the CSQV086E w/Reason Code
00C6004. When I backed out the maintenance, I was greeted by S6C6 abends. I
re-initialized the LOGs, BSDS files and the Page datasets and everything
started OK. Since this was a test Queue Manager, there was no big impact. I
am not comfortable with that solution or the fact that I could not find a
clear path in the doc to at least identify the problem

I have opened a problem record with IBM on this, but I'd be interested to
know if anyone has seen anything like the messages below and if so, what
was done to identify and to solve the problem. Right now, the path through
the diagnostics is the more important part of the answer, as far as I am
concerned

Thanx much,

I just did a quick catch up read on GXS, sounds like a 'broker' type

If it can use MQ as the undlying transport, there should be no problem
combining the two.

First of all, we should only use ports above 1024. Then, as Tim told you,
you can look at the official list of reserved port, and know which ones are
reserved for your particular system.
You can also issue 'netstat -a | grep LISTEN'. This will display all the
ports that have active listeners. These certainly are not available for you
to use.
For safety, if I am not using 1414, I start my listeners on port 14140 and

Make sure  your application does not check the size of the transmission queue each 
time before putting the message; otherwise, it may affect the performance, especially 
if you are interested in highest possible one. An alternative approach (I am not aware 
of *the* right one) would be to enable relevant events (see QDPHIEV, QDEPHHI queue 
attributes and QM's PERFMEV) and wait for them in a separate thread.. then stop the 
publisher. You can use QDPHLOEV to resume publishing in the same manner.

MP78

In regard to your performance test, I think the reduction in performance when
maximum queue depth was increased was due to you exceeding the QBufferSize for
your queues.  By default Q's have 64k of memory assigned to them.  If the
total size of all messages upon the queue exceeds 64k then the extra messages
(or perhaps entire q, not sure) are written to disk.  Obviously once the disk
gets involved your performance reduces dramatically.  You can adjust the
QBufferSize in your qm.ini up to 1MB (you need to delete and recreate the q
after making the qm.ini change).

Subject: Performance observations and questions


For a upcoming project we needed some figures on MQSeries throughput
to base a design decision on. Throughput is very crucial in this
project. On the last weekend I've conducted some tests in this regard.
Some of the results I would like to discuss here.

Facts:

-   the tests where conducted on two Intel machines running W2K with
MQSeries 5.2, however, the project target platform will be
SPARC/Solaris9
-   the machines used in this test are a PIV 2.8GH and a 2xPIII 450MH,
both 512MB, one has ultra fast SCSI HD's and one has a pretty fast
IDE-RAID5 (4x160G)
-   both machines where connected via 100MB LAN through a switch, which
had only the two machines connected to it
-   message size was 200 byte, I used a string made of repeated numbers
of 0 through 9
-   queues where not persistent
-   DOS based test applications are written in C++, using IBM's C++
interface rather than straight C-API
-   the 'putting' application runs in a loop, checking the depth of the
transmission queue (avoiding overflow), if the depth is below a
certain
level it puts the message into the remote queue, every n successful
puts
the time is measured (through windows high frequency counter, very
high
precision) and the average messages per seconds is put on the screen
-   the 'getting' application runs in a endless loop, with a blocking
'get'
on the (receiving) local queue, the same average measuring is
implemented
as in the 'putting' app


Results:

-   the best throughput was 3200msgs/sec measured with one putting
application
and one getting application at a maximum queue depth of 5000 on both
sides
(remote and transmission queue), CPU's on both sides where far below
100%
-   overall throughput went down when several 'putting' applications where
putting to the same queue (of course, taking the sum of all screen
outputs)


Questions:

-   what actually limits the throughput? the number of msgs/sec times the
size
in this case results in the best case to 625kB/sec which is far beyond
the
practical throughput of the mentioned LAN
-   is it a correct observation that synchronizing several applications
putting
into the same queue causes considerably overhead? if so, can this be
assumed
the same way under SPARC/Solaris9 ?
-   when the max queue depth is set to a high number (e.g. 50),

AW: Re: Performance observations and questions

2004-02-17 Thread Fichtner Enrico
Pavel,

I have googled the web for a hint on how to use the events in a C++ app - but couldn't 
find any. The path is clear so far, use *something* in a separate thread that has 
thread-synchro with the thread that does the actual put, when the event occurs simply 
let the putting thread run idle (or whatsoever) until the opposite event rises. 
However, the *something* is the portion that is not clear, is it a API call that 
blocks until the event occurs - or is it a C++ object (wrapped API) that I have to 
use? Any hint on this would be extremely helpful.

Thanks, Enrico
