Closed as program error.
Error description
Using IBM MQ MFT, the agent's resource monitor stopped retrying the group of messages on the monitored queue. Even though the agent property monitorGroupRetryLimit=-1 is set in the agent.properties file, the agent records a BFGDM0100E error in the output0.log file. For example: BFGDM0100E: The number of times that the monitor task has been re-tried for groupId: '414d51204d46545433202020202020209a8b23602bd93b23' on queue: 'MY.QL' has exceeded the value specified by the agent property monitorGroupRetryLimit.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: IBM MQ MFT users using MFT resource monitor Platforms affected: MultiPlatform **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a message-to-file transfer that is triggered by a resource monitor fails and leaves the message group that triggered the monitor on the queue, that transfer is resubmitted at subsequent poll intervals. The number of times that the transfer is resubmitted is limited by the monitorGroupRetryLimit property of the monitoring agent. By setting it to -1 the transfer task is expected to be continuously retried, but this does not happen and the agent displayed the BFGDM0100E error message on the output.log An example of error message is shown below: BFGDM0100E: The number of times that the monitor task has been re-tried for groupId: '414d51204d46545433202020202020209b8b23602bd93b23' on queue: 'MY.QU' has exceeded the value specified by the agent property monitorGroupRetryLimit.
Problem conclusion
IBM MQ MFT resource monitor has been updated such that setting monitorGroupRetryLimit to -1 will continuously retry the monitor transfer task. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v9.1 LTS 9.1.0.10 v9.2 LTS 9.2.0.4 v9.x CD 9.2.5 The latest available MQ maintenance can be obtained from 'WebSphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available information on its planned availability can be found in 'WebSphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
