Error description

  • A queue manager is started, and terminates shortly thereafter.
    A failure data capture (FDC) record is generated, and a summary
    of it is as follows:
    Probe Id          :- AL008080
    Component         :- almPerformReDoPass
    Program Name      :- amqzxma0
    Major Errorcode   :- arcW_OBJECT_WOUNDED
    Probe Description :- AMQ7472: Object , type  damaged.
    
    MQM Function Stack
    amqzxma0
    zxcExecutionController
    zxcStartupLogic
    kpiStartup
    apiStartup
    almPerformReDoPass
    xcsFFST
    Reviewing the FDC further shows that a GHOST queue is being
    reported as damaged.
    
    The FDCs summary likely to show damaged object followed by
    errors when acquiring and/or releasing the queue handle.

Local fix

  • Restoring the deleted queue file from backup is likely to
    resolve the queue manager startup problem.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users deleting queue files associated with dynamic queues
    
    
    Platforms affected:
    MultiPlatform
    
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    This problem occurred because the queue manager detected a
    missing object associated with a dynamic queue, but the queue
    manager did not handle this error correctly, particularly
    releasing the lock associated with the dynamic queue. This
    resulted in failure in the queue manager startup.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The MQ queue manager code has been modified to correctly handle
    the object damage error because of missing queue files
    associated with dynamic queues.
