I'm seeing the following message in my qmgr error logs very frequently.
MQ6.0.2.1 on Solaris9.

Could anybody help me on this.

AMQ9528: User requested closure of channel 'TEST.P'.

AFAIK, the only way such a message can be generated by the queue manager is for a human being (or a human-written script) to affirmatively issue a 'stop channel' command.

Nobody is issuing the stop channel command. Is it is any network issue.

Thanks

Nope, a network issue would not generate this error.

Perhaps wiser people than me can jump in.... but I would say that someone (or someone's code) is affirmatively issuing the 'stop channel' command, and are logged in as 'mqm' when it happens.

Are there any core dumps or FDC's being created, when the channel stops?

SAFraser is right

Note this could have happened different ways:
  1. User closed program and corresponding svrconn channel closes (not necessarily user mqm) but in this case I would have expected a message saying the channel is inactive?
  2. pcf message sent to command server
  3. mqsc command (MO72)
  4. runmqsc command

It is essentially an informational message and no action needs to be taken.

I occasionally see this error between 2 of my QMs. Always in he middle of the night, almost every night. The SNDR channel reconnects immediately so its not an issue.

I can assure you a user is not stopping this channel in the middle of the night via MQ commands. I suspect it is network related.

Peter, you're telling us that every night you see
Quote:
AMQ9528: User requested closure of channel XYZ
in your logs?
All the other messages I would look at as being normal... I would expect a different message than AMQ9528 if it is network related....
Maybe another of those things to put on the wishlist...

It happens only every few days. Last time was 6-27-08.
Its always betwen these 2 QMs. Each QM has lots of connections to lots of other QMs. All MQ 6.0.2.1 and 6.0.2.3


And on the sending side I see:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: WebSphere MQ
Event Category: None
Event ID: 9259
Date: 6/27/2008
Time: 4:56:08 AM
User: N/A
Computer: MyServerName
Description:
Connection timed out from host '123.456.78.90'.

A connection from host '123.456.78.90'over TCP/IP timed out.

Check to see why data was not received in the expected time. Correct the problem. Reconnect the channel, or wait for a retrying channel to reconnect itself.

We used to get lots of AMQ9206 and AMQ9208 errors, typically after a channel being used sporadically. We lowered our HBINT interval down to 30 and the problems seems to have gone away. If it is a network issue that you are seeing perhaps adjusting the HBINT to a lower value may help you too.

We are still testing the networks elsewhere to determine the cause of the issue. I hate not knowing why failures occur.

We just had it occur in production at 11:20 AM... One of the 2 MQAs is out... unless he stopped the channel, we did not explicitly stop it...

Peter, are you guys using Patrol or is a Firewall on one end of the channel of yours that saw this phenomenon?

The 2 QMs are inside the firewall so I don't think that's it.

BMC Patrol? Yes, that is deployed here, although to what extent I don't know.

Is Patrol running under mqm auth on you box as is on ours. I know... but monitoring group says BMC requires it... who am I to argue?
