I have an HPUX qmgr, and a remote WIN2000 queue manager. I am able to connect to both qmgrs via MQJexplorer - however
When I try and start a sender channel from either side (HPUX or WINDOWS) they just stay 'initializing'. From the Windows qmgr I am able to ping my HPUX channel successfully, but from my hpux, the ping channel returns Remote host 'web18 (xxx.xxx.xx.xxx) (1441)' not available, retry later.
And both sides are still "Initializing...."
I am not able to see the error log on the Windows box (yet), and the HP box just shows AMQ9202 "The return code from TCP/IP is 238 (X'EE')."
I know the listeners are OK becuase MQJexplorer is connected to both.
I've exhasuted myself searching the boards, and am hoping your experience might have an answer for me - or a kick in the right direction
Thx |

Is the listener running on the correct port on the Windows Server?
Here's what the WMQ Messges Guide has to day about AMQ9202:
| Quote: |
AMQ9202 Remote host ’&3’ not available, retry
later.
Explanation: The attempt to allocate a conversation
using &4 to host ’&3’ was not successful. However the
error may be a transitory one and it may be possible to
successfully allocate a &4 conversation later.
User Response: Try the connection again later. If the
failure persists, record the error values and contact |
This is one of the reason why the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is more popular though it does contain many innacuracies and much that is hipocriful.
I don't have a list of HPUX TCP/IP Return Codes but I'm sure if you spend a little time on Google you'll be able to track one down.

Sometimes we gloss over things quickly and miss the obvious, so are you sure the port is 1441, and not the default 1414 ? |

Yeah, that's why I asked.

I am fairly certain the listener process on the would fail to start on the Windows Server if something were already bound to port 1441 or 1414 and I was giving the poster the benifit of the doubt.
AMQ9202 indicates that the SDR Channel MCA could not estabish a connection to the RCVR MCA let alone start a negotiation.

I have seen some weird behavior with the listeners in V6 using the Eclipse GUI on an XP platform...
A) The listener would not work whatever we tried. On start it would look like it is starting and die soon after.
B) Magic it worked.
A) created and started the listener. A sender channel to the qmgr started before the listener ever got to running status.
B) Deleted and recreated the listener. Set the tcp bakup # to 100. Had any sdr channel stopped. Waited for listener to hit running status. Started the sdr channel... It worked !!

| And sure enough, there was a firewall, but only blocking outgoing connections from the HPUX server. |
