  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Queue manager generated failure data capture (FDC) records with
    error xecL_W_LONG_LOCK_WAIT in different MQAPI calls
    when processing messages from deep queues and delays observed in
    MQAPI calls.
    MQ trace shows that some threads are not getting the lock as
    expected which caused
    the LONG_LOCK_WAIT FDCs.

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users consuming messages from deep queues and/or on busy systems
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    This problem occurred because IBM MQ did not give higher
    priority to MQ SRAs(threads) which were waiting for a long time.
    

Problem conclusion

  • IBM MQ code has been modified to allow the priority of the SRAs
    which are waiting for a long time to be tuned if it is deemed
    necessary by IBM support.
    
    As the need for this tuning is deemed unlikely for the majority
    of workloads, the default product behaviour is unchanged.
