Hi,
We had a situation here yesterday where a message got stuck on a transmission queue.
We tried stopping the channel - and the channel just went into a continous 'stopping' state for around 3 hours by which time we used STOP CHANNEL(CHANNAME) MODE(FORCE) to stop it.
Before we did this I used qstatus(XMITQNAME) TYPE(HANDLE) APPLTAG to see which process was holding the transmit queue open.
The process name was AMQRMPPA.EXE
Does anyone know:
a.) Why I had to use a STOP channel force - which I am reluctant to do as I have seen it kill a QM on AIX. Is there another way?
b.) What AMQRMPPA.EXE is - I have searched IBM's website and google'd it..

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
>>The most likely cause is that it is in a TCP call which is not returning, or a network call to resolve a hostname. The channel can only respond to a request to stop if the MQC code is in control - if it is waiting for an external API call to complete it cannot end.
This makes a lot of sense - thanks
>>Did you not think to find out what the channel was doing, by getting a stack from the process?
How would I get a stack from the process? - it was on Windows Server 2003 BTW..
