Scheduled transfer failing intermittently with below error captured at source server where MQ client is installed. But in when the transfer is re-triggered after few mins the messages getting processed. No issues from network perspective and backup process. Any idea what could be done to avoid failuer at 1st place?

Process(25690.1) User(aabadm) Program(mqftssndc)
Host(XX) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.5.0.0)
AMQ9202: Remote host '' not available, retry later.

EXPLANATION:
The attempt to allocate a conversation using TCP/IP to host '' for channel
SYSTEM.DEF.CLNTCONN was not successful. However the error may be a transitory
one and it may be possible to successfully allocate a TCP/IP conversation
later.

SYSTEM.DEF.CLNTCONN...

Perhaps because the other end is trying to connect to the wrong type of channel?

Location: US: west coast, almost. Otherwise, enroute.

More specifically, in a client-->mqgr server setup, the client connects to a SVRCONN channel type. While the SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN channel template is a suitable channel, it is best-practice (for channel management) to NOT use a SYSTEM object. Rather, define an application oriented SVRCONN, like PAYROLL.SVRCONN.

It is possible that the client program is using a CCDT and MQ is selecting the default 'SYSTEM.DEF.CLNTCONN' from that file. Its connection name will be blank, leading to error AMQ9202: Remote host '' not available, retry later.

Do you suggest anything changes for MQ to not select the default 'SYSTEM.DEF.CLNTCONN ?

Thanks !!

So do you suggeste to make changes to MQ server setup in client so that it would use SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN instaed of SYSTEM.DEF.CLNTCONN ?

I doubt that's what is meant. What you should do is create an application-specific SVRCONN, with all appropriate security safeguards set on it, and create a Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT) file for the application to use, the CCDT file containing the CLNTCONN definition for the application to use, e.g. THIS ARTICLE.

Yes Application has CCDT file which contains CLNTCONN definition. The error we see at Source application where client is installed when inititate transfer is as :
KFT0002 Warning: MQSERVER environment variable not set
KFT0003 Failed: MQSeries comp code 2, reason 2058. Function MQCONN, on object

Well that seems pretty clear cut.

Well that seems pretty clear cut.

And if needs the variable, and can use nothing else, say goodbye to security...
