MQSeries.net :: View topic - FMC01014E - The PEA for USERID.FMCGRP is not available

Hi

we recently have migrated from PEA to UPES.

i.e, we have used the PEA earlier to start the work items but now we have migrated to UPES to start the work items. But in production we had lot of work items that were created using PEA. The FMCDB had the PEAs defined for the work items and now we have changed the definition of the work items to use UPES here after.

Now, when we have imported the FDL , it didnt update the existing definitions of the work items in the FMC.PROCESS_TEMPL instead it created a new row for each process definition. Why is this happening? Is it not supposed to update the existing records?

Now the problem is :
If we create the work items afresh, then we do not have any problem and we are able to work the work items and we get the process instance start XML messages in the UPES queue. But if we try to start the work items that were created earlier(before the UPES version of the FDL was imported) , then the work item goes into an error state(128) saying "The PEA for USERID.FMCGRP is not available". This error is obvious since we have removed the code chunk which starts the PEA (programExecutionAgentStartUp() ). But we are force restarting the erroneous work items in the code and are able to close the work item after performing the business process. So, how serious is this error and what needs to be done to get rid of this problem, since we have around 50000+ such work items. I am actually not able to figure out whats happening behind the scenes. Why the existing work items are using the UPES and why are they complaining about non-existence of the PEA?

An urgent suggestion and help is highly appreciated since we have the code already in production!!

Thanks a lot in advance
