Error description

  • During initialization of the CICS region there are multiple
    attempts by CKAM to start the MQMONITOR. One of the starts is
    successful and the other starts fail as the monitor was already
    started resulting in the DFHMQ0125 message.
    
    
    The trace in the dump shows that the multiple starts are due
    to delays related to switching to the RO TCB to load modules as
    CICS is initializing and each LLACOPY is taking 1-2 seconds.  In
    total, the delays add up to over 30 seconds (for the first
    start) and previous fixes in this area (for DFHMQ0125 messages)
    did not account for such extremely long delays.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message DFHMQ0125 received during CICS  *
    *                      startup resulting in no MQMonitors      *
    *                      being started.                          *
    ****************************************************************
    If the process of starting MQMonitors during CICS startup is
    delayed, this can cause the WLMHealth Health checker to retry
    the start if the MQMonitor specifies a transaction of CKTI.
    This may result in message DFHMQ0125 being issued.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Changes have been made to CICS/MQ code to prevent WLMHealth
    retrying the start of an MQMonitor which is already underway
    but may have been delayed.
