Channel remains 'retrying', and will not start

[gertvangaever]

Hello,

I'm performing some tests to send messages back & forth to 2 queue managers.
I'm using win2k & mq 5.2

I have QMGR1 on SERVER1 and QMGR2 on SERVER2
on QMGR1: QMGR2.SEND.QUEUE = remote q to server2
on QMGR2: QMGR1.SEND.QUEUE = remote q to server1

on server1:
amqsput QMGR2.SEND.QUEUE
'test message'

when I look at the channel, it comes 'retrying'
When I look at the error log, It seems to be a problem with the sequence number. 'A message with sequence number 2 was sent, and a message with seq. nbr 1 was expected'

Could the following be the reason for this:
I deleted & recreated the channels & receive.queue & transmission queue on QMGR1!!

There could be many reasons why you ended up in that state. But the most common one being, that you ended your channel/qmgr while a message was being sent accross. Which made the message to backout at one end and whose info wasnt sent to the other. Thus there is a mismatch of the sequence numbers.

You can easily resolve this by just &quot;RESET CHANNEL(<CHL NAME>)&quot; command. This would reset the sequence numbers to 0.

Better to issue this at both ends.

I guess you are doing Persistent messages, thats why you got this error.

hi ,
is it happening because of the disconnect interval of sender channel to 0 which is forcing it to continuously connected and is not able to reset the message sequence number after sending the messages.?
