Intermittent Execution Group startup failure - there is no indication of why it failed, just continuously repeating entries in the syslog saying that the execution group has shut down and none showing it has started.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Message Broker on * * AIX. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An Execution Group may fail to start * * with no indication of any error. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An Execution Group may fail to start with no indication of any error.In such cases the syslog can be seen to contain repeating BIP2060W messages reporting that "The broker has detected that the Execution Group ..... has shutdown. If the Broker is restarted the Execution Group starts successfully.
Problem conclusion
During Execution Group startup WebSphere Message Broker uses cout and cerr to write messages containing the filenames into which stdout and stderr are about to be redirected. In some circumstances cout and cerr appear to fail causing the Execution Group process to end. WebSphere Message Broker has been modified to use printf instead of cout and cerr to write these messages.
