The IBM WebSphere MQ link channels do not start - Middleware News

Note: Error messages appear in the SystemOut.log file or, if you have turned on tracing, in the trace.log file. 
New feature: This topic references one or more of the application server log files. Beginning in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 you can configure the server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files or native z/OS logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your server profile bin directory. Read the "Using HPEL to troubleshoot applications" topic in the Troubleshooting section for more information on using HPEL.
  1. Verify that the channel names specified on the WebSphere MQ link sender channel and/or the MQLinkReceiver definitions match those specified on the sender and/or receiver channel definitions in the WebSphere MQ network. Channel names are case sensitive.
  2. Verify that the channel sequence numbers are not out of step. If they are, then the channel will remain in a state of retry until the sequence numbers have been reset. For a WebSphere MQ link sender channel, you can reset the sequence number to 1 by using the WebSphere MQ link sender channel administrative pages. This passes a reset instruction to the WebSphere MQ receiver channel. You can optionally reset the WebSphere MQ receiver channel to a value that matches the WebSphere MQ link sender channel. This does not result in any data being passed to the WebSphere MQ link sender channel, and can be used to resolve sequencing issues.
    For a WebSphere MQ link receiver channel, you have to reset the sequence number in WebSphere MQ through the WebSphere MQ sender channel. If you are using the WebSphere MQ Explorer on a Windows system, you can right click on the channel and select All Tasks > Reset .
    Look for messages CWSIC3011E, CWSIC3015E.
  3. Verify that both ends of the channel have been defined and configured correctly. It is possible that the channel at the remote end is currently in a stopped state and therefore is currently unavailable. Start the channel at the remote end if possible. Look for messages CWSIC3018E, CWSIC3113E, CWSIC3114E, CWSIC3236E.
  4. Verify that the channel sequence number wrap values are the same at both ends of the channel. Look for message CWSIC3010E.
  5. Verify that the WebSphere MQ link sender channel is not in an indoubt state. Resolve the channel if required. The channel is resolved by WebSphere MQ. On Windows, if you are using the WebSphere MQ Explorer, you can right click on the channel and select All Tasks>Resolve.Look for message CWSIC3065E.
  6. Verify that the listeners have been started, and are listening on the correct ports. By default, service integration listens on port 5558 for inbound connections, and the WebSphere MQ network listens on port 1414.

Troubleshooting Java/JMS SSL Configurations - Middleware News

 This document is intended to help diagnose WebSphere MQ V7 Java™ or JMS SSL setup errors. It lists most of the common configuration errors that can cause an SSL connection from a Java/JMS client to a queue manager to fail, and gives the course of action to resolve the problem. In each case the error can be diagnosed by a combination of the error seen in the client log - either a console output, trace file or SystemOut.log file - and the queue manager's error logs. The document is quite long, so the easiest way to find the potential error is to search for one of the errors seen in this list, then filter this list using the error from the opposite end of the channel. All cases here assume that 2-way authentication is being attempted (SSLCAUTH set to REQUIRED on the queue manager's SVRCONN channel). This is the default, and the errors are very similar for 1-way authentication (SSLCAUTH set to OPTIONAL). Symptom Instructions on collecting documentation...

Using telnet to test connectivity between IBM Websphere MQ Client and MQ server - Middleware News

You are having trouble connecting a WebSphere MQ client to a MQ server, receiving errors that you can not connect to the MQ queue manager. One of the first things to determine is if the two machines can communicate, and using the telnet tool is one way to accomplish it. Symptom Receiving errors which state that a queue manager is not found or not available. Connection errors. For example: AMQ9213, AMQ9524, AMQ9202 or AMQ9508 or MQRC =2059 0x0000080b MQRC_Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Please note, this is by no means an exclusive list of errors related to this type a problem but just a sample of some of the more common error messages and codes that might occur. Cause One possible cause is that the two machines can not communicate. May be the IP address or hostname was not properly specified by the MQ client. The port number might be incorrect. A queue manager is not running at the desired host. The queue manager could be running, but the corresponding listener is not runnin...

IBM Websphere MQ interview Questions Part 5

MQ Series: - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other. It is an EAI tool (Middle ware) VERSIONS:-5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0, 7.0(new version). The currently using version is 6.2 Note: – MQ series supports more than 35+ operating systems. It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\BM\clipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have • QUEUES • CHANNELS • PROCESS • AUTHENTICATION • QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects: – objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maintains all the objects and services. QUEUE: – it is a database structure ...
