AMQ9208 - TCP/IP Error 73 1

[wellster34]

Hi,

I have searched the net and found nothing that explains in full detail or a solution to the error we are receiving.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/09/03 10:18:21
AMQ9208: Error on receive from host nn.nn.nn.nn.

EXPLANATION:
An error occurred receiving data from nn.nn.nn.nn over TCP/IP. This may be due to a communications failure.
ACTION:
The return code from the TCP/IP (read) call was 73 (X'49'). Record these values and tell the systems administrator.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found out that a TCP/IP 73 error is the following:

A 73 is ECONNRESET - connection reset by peer.

Take a look at /usr/include/sys/errno.h

When a client connection is terminated without cleanly disconnecting. It's TCP/IP's way of telling you that the partner is gone.


Our Setup: The MQ and MQ Mgr is running on a UNIX box and we other boxes communicating to the UNIX box. I.E. We have a 2 Window 2000 boxes and a Windows NT box talking to the MQ Mqr on the UNIX box.


Is there a reason why this errors are occuring? Is there any solution ideas to try?


Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

P.S. The Version of MQSeries is 5.2 CSD05

We have had similar experiences on other platforms. I believe that the problem is that the TCP/IP port is not fully being freed. IBM suggested to us that we get onto CSD06 and we did. This seemed to fix it.

We are now on 5.3 and we haven't had any problems like this since.

You do know 5.2 goes out of support VERY soon right?
