AMQ8417: Display Channel Status details.
CHANNEL(NTTMRC02.MQ400078) CHLTYPE(SDR)
CONNAME(S1020429.xxx.LOCAL(1414)) CURRENT
RQMNAME( ) STATUS(STOPPED)
SUBSTATE( ) XMITQ(MQ400078)
start CHANNEL(NTTMRC02.MQ400078)
2 : start CHANNEL(NTTMRC02.MQ400078)

WHAT??? NOT FOUND????

5 : dis chl(NTTMRC02.MQ400078)
AMQ8147: WebSphere MQ object NTTMRC02.MQ400078 not found.
STILL NOT FOUND...
I've never seen this before where a display of the channel status will display a channel that obviously didn't exist.
I'm issuing these commands via a command prompt so that SHOULD rule out a caching issue I would think in my limited windows admin knowledge.
Has anyone seen this before?
I can't bounce the QM now, but I'm assuming that will remove the ghost channel from the status command... |

What does the 'other' end of the channel say in regard to status?

For that non existing channel have you tried
| Code: |
dis chs(NTTMRC02.MQ400078) current
dis chs(NTTMRC02.MQ400078) saved |
You might find that you get 2 very different responses...

The channel definition and the channel status are stored in different places in the queue manager. Seems its possible for status records to exist for a channel definition which has been deleted.

I would have thought that once the qmgr bounced that the channel status for the non-existent channel would go away, but the channel status remains even after a bounce of the qmgr...
Is there a way to get rid of the channel status for the non-existent channels? |

Recreate the channel.
Stop it. (yeah, I know it won't be running. Get it into a STOPPED state.)
Delete it.
I think that should work. I remember doing something like that years ago.
There may be a better, more official way. If this is a production system, open a PMR ticket with IBM instead of doing something some stranger on the internet suggested.

PeterPotKay,
YOU ARE THE MAN.... 
Thanks for that tip. It worked.
Whether or not it is the 'official' way it should be done, it is now the way IT WILL BE DONE to clear out this condition.
Many thanks... |

Hello Acolyte,
I know that I am a bit late with any suggestion....I just registered myself to the site.
The other day, I had the same issue...and guess what???
The reason for it was that when I created a channel for example:
define channel('test.sdr')
I have written the name in quotes. This is why you couldn't start the channel, because you have quoted the wrong name.
I am confident that if you try the same with creating a queue with 'queue name', it doesn't matter qremote or local. And then you try to check out the queue dis qr(queue name) without the quotes. You will get similar error.
Of course channel deletion and recreation is a bit harsh, but sure way of solving the same.
I hope this helps.
Regards |

This is a valid definition.
Putting apostrophes around an object name ensures that the name will remain in lower-case. If you omit the apostrophes, the object name you type will be folded into UPPER-CASE. This is working as documented.
