				My OS is windows 7 64bit, the MQ is 32 bit.
 
 
I downloaded the VC++ 10.0 express, and I tried to create teh load switch as following:

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

				I solved this problem.
 
I downloaded the Oracle client 32 bit, and it worked.
 
however, This dll got problem when the queue manager starts with following errors:
 
 
1/4/2014 17:22:45 - Process(3116.1) User(MUSR_MQADMIN) Program(amqzxma0.exe)
 
                      Host(WIN-JFFTF45GEQM) Installation(Installation1)
 
                      VRMF(7.5.0.2) QMgr(BHQM)
 
                     
 
AMQ6287: WebSphere MQ V7.5.0.2 (p750-002-130627).
 
 
EXPLANATION:
 
WebSphere MQ system information: 
 
Host Info         :- Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Datacenter Edition, Build
 
7601: SP1 (MQ Windows 32-bit) 
 
Installation      :- C:\IBM\WebSphere MQ (Installation1) 
 
Version           :- 7.5.0.2 (p750-002-130627)
 
ACTION:
 
None.

                      VRMF(7.5.0.2) QMgr(BHQM)
 
                     
 
AMQ6256: The system could not dynamically load the DLL 'C:\IBM\WebSphere
 
MQ\exits\oraswit.dll'.
 
 
EXPLANATION:
 
This message applies to Windows systems. The DLL 'C:\IBM\WebSphere
 
MQ\exits\oraswit.dll' failed to load as it is probably a 64-bit DLL, a 32-bit
 
DLL is required. Note that MQ tried to find a 32-bit DLL named
 
'C:\IBM\WebSphere MQ\exits32\oraswit.dll', but failed. The following message
 
gives details of the original failure.
 
ACTION:
 
Supply the name of a 32-bit DLL.

                      VRMF(7.5.0.2) QMgr(BHQM)
 
                     
 
AMQ6175: The system could not dynamically load the library C:\IBM\WebSphere
 
MQ\exits\oraswit.dll. The system returned error message '<NULL>'.
 
 
EXPLANATION:
 
This message applies to Windows systems only. The dynamically loadable file
 
C:\IBM\WebSphere MQ\exits\oraswit.dll failed to load correctly due to an
 
internal error. The MQ error recording routine has been called.
 
ACTION:
 
Check that the file has not been corrupted then use the standard facilities
 
supplied with your system to record the problem identifier, and to save the
 
generated output files. Use either the WMQ Support site:
 
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/support/, or IBM Support Assistant
 
(ISA): http://www.ibm.com/software/support/isa/, to see whether a solution is
 
already available.  If you are unable to find a match, contact your IBM support
 
center.  Do not discard these files until the problem has been resolved.

AMQ7622: WebSphere MQ could not load the XA switch load file for resource
 
manager 'PRODEVALORA'.
 
 
EXPLANATION:
 
An error has occurred loading XA switch file oraswit.dll. If the error occurred
 
during startup then the queue manager will terminate. At all other times the
 
queue manager will continue without this resource manager meaning that it will
 
no longer be able to participate in global transactions. The queue manager will
 
also retry the load of the switch file at regular intervals so that the
 
resource manager will be able to participate again should the load problem be
 
resolved.
 
ACTION:
 
Look for a previous message outlining the reason for the load failure. Message
 
AMQ6175 is issued if the load failed because of a system error. If this is the
 
case then follow the guidance given in message AMQ6175 to resolve the problem.
 
In the absence of prior messages or FFST information related to this problem
 
check that the name of the switch load file is correct and that it is present
 
in a directory from which it can be dynamically loaded by the queue manager.
 
The easiest method of doing this is to define the switch load file as a
 
fully-qualified name. Note that if the queue manager is still running it will
 
need to be restarted in order that any changes made to its configuration data
 
can be picked up.

				As specified in your error the directory where you put the switch file is wrong.
 
I have no idea, which system you are upgrading from.
 
 
However since V7.0 best practice has been to create the switchfile in BOTH 32 bit and 64 bit version.
 
You then need to place each version into it's respective directory:
 
<mqdata>\exits\<mqinstallationname>
 
<mqdata>\exits64\<mqinstallationname>
 
 
Of course each switchfile needs to be compiled with the correct (32 bit vs 64 bit) version of both os and MQ libraries...

				The solution eventually turns out very funny.
 
 
I restarted the whole machine, and then it works.
 
 
However, I bumped into another error:

AMQ7605: The XA resource manager PRODEVALORA has returned an unexpected return
 
code -5, when called for xa_open.
 
 
EXPLANATION:
 
WebSphere MQ received an unexpected return code when calling XA resource
 
manager PRODEVALORA at its xa_open entry point.  This indicates an internal
 
error, either within MQ or the resource manager.
 
ACTION:
 
Try to determine the source of the error.  A trace of the failure could be used
 
to look at the XA flows between MQ and the resource manager. MQ has allocated
 
an RMId of 257 to this resource manager.  This will be useful when isolating
 
the flows associated with the resource manager concerned. If the error occurs
 
on an xa_commit or xa_rollback request, the queue manager will not attempt to
 
redeliver the commit or rollback instruction for this transaction, until after
 
the queue manager has been restarted. The transaction indoubt is identified by
 
the following XID of X''. If you think that the error lies within the queue
 
manager, save any generated output files and use either the MQ Support site:
 
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/support/, or IBM Support Assistant
 
(ISA): http://www.ibm.com/software/support/isa/, to see whether a solution is
 
already available.  If you are unable to find a match, contact your IBM support
 
center.  Do not discard any information describing the problem until after the
 
problem has been resolved. 
 
 
 
The qm.ini has the following content:
 
 
 
XAResourceManager:
 
   Name=PRODEVALORA
 
   SwitchFile=oraswit.dll
 
   XAOpenString=ORACLE_XA+HostName=localhost+PortNumber=1521+ACC=P/prodeval/password+sestm=100+threads=TRUE+DataSource=PRODEVAL+K=2+
 
   ThreadOfControl=PROCESS
 
 
 
I am sure the user/password is correct.
 
 
Could any body give me any idea?
 
 
Thanks, |

				I improved the qm.ini to the following:
 
 
XAResourceManager:
 
   Name=OracleXA
 
   SwitchFile=oraswit
 
   XAOpenString=ORACLE_XA
 
     +HostName=localhost
 
     +PortNumber=1521
 
     +Sid=orcl
 
     +ACC=P/prodeval/password
 
     +sestm=100
 
     +threads=TRUE
 
     +DataSource=PRODEVAL
 
     +K=2+
 
   XACloseString=
 
   ThreadOfControl=THREAD
 
 
 
However, still got the same error |

				I realize this might be the issue of oracle multiple instances coexistence issue.
 
My oracle server is installed by someone else on the same box as oracle client.
 
 
I found I could not set ORACLE_HOME. If I set this to oracle client home directory, the oracle server can not start correctly. If I don't set it, the queue manager will have xa_open problem. In otherwords, the qmgr can not talk to the oracle server correctly.
 
 
I found the solution:
 
set ORACLE_HOME as user environment variable rather than system variable. In this case, both client and server are working fine.
 
 
However, I still got the same problem. I realized setup the XA_OPEN string to the listener of oracle server which might not be correct.
 
However, I am new to oracle. The oracle client might be messed. I have manually removed it, and will start a cleanup installation.
 
 
One more question, the queue manager should talk to the oracle client listener , right? It must be up running before queue manager can talk to oracle server through it or the queue manager will talk to oracle server directly with oracle client library but without oracle client listener?
 
 
Thanks, |

				This --> http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13218_01/wlp/docs81/sp2/db/5XA.html
 
 
talks about TNSNAME so I would guess that yes the TNSServer needs to be up and runnig before WMQ can start. _________________ WMQ User since 1999

				Well, the oracle client can also create TNSListener, I personally think it acts as proxy, and therefore it is not mandatory.
 
 
The queue manager will talk to oracle server database listener, and for some reason, it always get xa_open problem.
 
 
I don't know what is going on, the AMQERR01.LOG does not help a lot, also the FDC and TRC file don't help much. They are too big, and are oriented for lab person.
 
 
I decide to give up since not much clue. |

These days, I think that the TNS Listener is pretty well mandatory. 
 
 
Even SQLPlus demands a newtork connection. Mind you most of my Oracle DBA (certified) experience stopped with 7.3.4 and have only used it sporadically since then as a user. _________________ WMQ User since 1999
