Limitations and known problems for Long Term Support releases
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.0, FIX PACK 25
- Support is removed for RSA key exchange in FIPS mode
-
The IBM Java 8 JRE removes support for RSA key exchange when operating in FIPS mode. This removal
applies to the following CipherSuites:
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
To continue using FIPS mode, the following IBM MQ components should be changed to use a
CipherSuite that is still supported:
- AMQP server
- Managed File Transfer (MFT)
- IBM MQ Console / web console
- IBM MQ Explorer
- IBM MQ REST API
- IBM MQ Telemetry service
For details of supported CipherSuites, see
TLS CipherSpecs and CipherSuites in IBM MQ classes for JMS in the IBM MQ
product documentation.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.0.21 CSU
- IBM MQ Bridge to blockchain is removed
-
The IBM MQ Bridge to blockchain was deprecated across all releases from November 22 2022, and is
removed from the product at IBM MQ 9.2.0.21. If your system has the MQSeriesBCBridge component
installed, remove it manually after this maintenance update has completed.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.0, FIX PACKS 15 AND 20
There are no new limitations or known problems.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.0, FIX PACK 10
- IBM MQ AMQP channel does not start automatically with AMQP service after
upgrade
-
When a queue manager with a running AMQP channel is upgraded to IBM MQ 9.2, and the queue manager
and associated AMQP service are restarted, the previously running AMQP channel does not start
automatically.
This issue is fixed by APAR IT37842, which is included in IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10.
Note that migration runs only once; the first time the queue manager is started after an upgrade.
Therefore, after you apply IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10:
- If, prior to installing IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10, you have started the queue manager and AMQP channel
on any previous IBM MQ 9.2 level, then the AMQP channel will start automatically. You do not need to take
any additional action.
- If, prior to installing IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10, you have not started the queue manager and AMQP channel
on any previous IBM MQ 9.2 level, then any previously running AMQP channels must be restarted manually when
the queue manager and associated AMQP service are restarted.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.0, FIX PACK 7
There are no new limitations or known problems.

-
The JRE embedded into IBM MQ 9.2.0.2 is updated under APAR IT35540 to the following Java
version:
- 8.0.6.26 - AIX, Linux (x86-64, ppcLE, zLinux), Windows
-
In this JRE, cipher suites that match "DES_CBC" have been disabled. For example, the following
cipher suite is disabled:
- SSL_RSA_FIPS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
-
If an application is using this JRE, the application will no longer be able to use this cipher
suite, for example if the application is connecting to the queue manager over an SSL/TLS secured
channel.
-
This includes users own applications that use this JRE, and components of IBM MQ that use this
JRE, such as:
- IBM MQ Explorer
- MQTT service
- AMQP service
- Managed File Transfer
-
If you understand the security risk associated with using these disabled cipher suites, and want
to re-enable them, then update the following file:
AIX, Linux:
MQ_INSTALL_ROOT/java/jre64/jre/lib/security/java.security
Windows:
MQ_INSTALL_ROOT\java\jre\lib\security\java.security
and edit the entry for the following property:
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
to remove the last entry:
", DES_CBC"

There are no new limitations or known problems.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.4
- On z/OS, QPST_MSGP020_PUTTIME is added to the QPST control block
-
As part of the z/OS System Management Facility (SMF) enhancements for IBM MQ 9.2.4, the
QPST_MSGP020_PUTTIME parameter is added to the QPST control block. However
QPST_MSGP020_PUTTIME is an internal parameter, and QPST is an externalized
control block. In a future release, the QPST_MSGP020_PUTTIME parameter will
move to an internal control block.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.3
- Channel names are blank in MQSC and IBM MQ Explorer after direct migration from IBM MQ
8.0.0.1, 8.0.0.2, or 8.0.0.3

- Native HA with replication over TLS 1.3: After a failover, replicas might repeatedly connect
and disconnect from the active instance
-
When you run with TLS 1.3, after a failover you might get pairs of messages similar to the
following pair:
2021-06-24T12:06:14.148Z AMQ3214I: Native HA inbound secure connection accepted from
'<hostname>'. [CommentInsert1(<hostname>), CommentInsert2(<ipaddress>),
CommentInsert3(TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256)]
2021-06-24T12:06:14.613Z AMQ3222E: Native HA network connection from '<hostname>' ended
unexpectedly. [CommentInsert1(<hostname>), CommentInsert2(<qmgrname>),
CommentInsert3(rrcE_SSL_BAD_RETURN_FROM_GSKIT (14) (????) (gsk_secure_soc_read)
(<ipaddress>))]
-
This issue is being investigated. Until a fix is available, use a plain text or TLS 1.2
connection for replication.
-
To configure TLS 1.2 for replication traffic, add the following setting to the
NativeHALocalInstance
stanza of qm.ini in each queue manager
instance:
CipherSpec=ANY_TLS12
-
You can add this information by using the IBM MQ Operator and an ini configmap. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/ibm-mq/9.2?topic=manager-example-supplying-mqsc-ini-files.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.2
- Changes to default values for some ciphers
-
The JRE is updated to 8.0.6.25 in this release. By default, this level of the JRE disables
ciphers whose algorithms match DES_CBC
. For example:
SSL_RSA_FIPS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
-
To re-enable these ciphers, update your java/lib/security/java.security
file to
remove the algorithm that your cipher uses from the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
name:value pair.
- On Windows, clicking 'IBM MQ Explorer Help' might not open the help system
-
On Windows systems, some users cannot open IBM MQ Explorer Help, either by clicking
IBM MQ Explorer Help in the main landing page, or by clicking .
-
If the user starting IBM MQ Explorer has write permissions on
MQ_INSTALLATION\MQExplorer\eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info,
IBM MQ Explorer can resolve the underlying issue.
- CCDT Generation within the IBM MQ Console is not available on z/OS
-
Generating a client channel definition table (CCDT) file in the IBM MQ Console occasionally fails
on z/OS when the system attempts to get a list of listeners, requiring the web console to be
reloaded in the browser.
-
Generation of the CCDT file is disabled in the IBM MQ Console on z/OS systems.
LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR IBM MQ 9.2.1
- IBM MQ Messaging Pool Blocking behavior can cause high CPU usage and impact
functionality
-
If the Messaging Pool is configured with "blocking" behavior and the pool size is exhausted,
incoming requests enter a "busy-wait" state, polling the pool continually for free connections. If
messaging operations performed by requests take significant time, this busy-wait state might be
maintained for a significant time. This is because fewer connections are returned to the pool than
there are threads waiting.
-
Depending on operating system time sharing policies, this behavior could lead to excessive CPU
consumption by the waiting threads, to the detriment of other activity on the system.
-
If sufficient requests enter this state, other operations might be impacted. For example, the
Liberty server might become unresponsive to new requests, it might not detect and act on
configuration changes, or other applications in the server might not be initialized
successfully.
-
Unless you are confident that your pool size is sufficiently large and your messaging requests
will complete in suitably short times, you should configure a full pool behavior other than
BLOCK. Available options are ERROR and
OVERFLOW.
- On z/OS systems, if a queue manager restarts during an MFT transfer, the transfer does not
complete
-
When a Managed File Transfer agent on z/OS is connecting to a queue manager on z/OS, and the
queue manager is stopped, a connection broken error is received by the agent. However, the agent
does not reconnect when the queue manager is restarted.
-
To resolve this issue, restart the MFT agent.
Limitations and known problems for the initial IBM MQ 9.2.0 release
- GTK+ Messages issued by IBM MQ Explorer
-
In some Linux environments, messages from the GTK+ graphical user interface library might be seen
in the UNIX console window from which IBM MQ Explorer was started. For example:
(:16073): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 17:09:00.159: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkScrollbar
(:4652): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:28:52.072: Negative content width -1 (allocation 1, extents 1x1) while allocating gadget (node scrolledwindow, owner GtkScrolledWindow)
-
These messages can be ignored. They are caused by errors in the gtk3 libraries, and do not cause
any functional failures in IBM MQ Explorer.
- Channel names are blank in MQSC and IBM MQ Explorer after direct migration from IBM MQ
8.0.0.1, 8.0.0.2, or 8.0.0.3
-
When you migrate from IBM MQ 8.0.0 Fix Pack 1, 2 or 3 directly to IBM MQ 9.1.5 or later, channel
objects are not migrated correctly when the queue manager is started at the new code level. Channels
continue to work normally, but channel names are not displayed by runmqsc or IBM MQ Explorer.
-
This issue is fixed by APAR IT34332, which is included in IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 2 and IBM MQ
9.2.3. You must apply the fix before you start a migrated queue manager for the first time.
- IBM MQ AMQP channel does not start automatically with AMQP service after
upgrade
-
When a queue manager with a running AMQP channel is upgraded to IBM MQ 9.2, and the queue manager
and associated AMQP service are restarted, the previously running AMQP channel does not start
automatically.
This issue is fixed by APAR IT37842, which is included in IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10.
Note that migration runs only once; the first time the queue manager is started after an upgrade.
Therefore, after you apply IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10:
- If, prior to installing IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10, you have started the queue manager and AMQP
channel on any previous IBM MQ 9.2 level, then the AMQP channel will start automatically. You do not
need to take any additional action.
- If, prior to installing IBM MQ 9.2.0 Fix Pack 10, you have not started the queue manager and
AMQP channel on any previous IBM MQ 9.2 level, then any previously running AMQP channels must be
restarted manually when the queue manager and associated AMQP service are restarted.
