IT30610: Cluster channel is put into STOPPED state after running command REFRESH CLUSTER REPOS(YES)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• REFRESH CLUSTER REPOS(YES) should stop and restart active
  channels.
  However, running the command moved a channel into STOPPED state
  and the channel is not restarted automatically.
  

Local fix

• REFRESH CLUSTER REPOS(NO) can be used as it does not attempt to
  stop channels. Alternatively, manually start the affected
  channel(s) after the REFRESH CLUSTER operation.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users using REFRESH CLUSTER REPOS(YES) command
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The REFRESH CLUSTER REPOS(YES) command stops and restarts the
  cluster channels during
  cluster refresh. A defect in the MQ cluster refresh code meant
  that channel status was not set to INACTIVE for a channel that
  had been stopped during refresh. This caused affected the
  channel to remain in STOPPED state until the user restarted the
  channel manully using the START CHANNEL command.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IBM MQ queue manager code has been modified to resolve the
  cluster channel problem during cluster refresh.
