Hi,
I have two Full Reposities(FR1 & FR2) and two Partial Repositories(PR1 & PR2) in my cluster. An application is connecting to FR1 using a server connection channel and it's sending messages to two cluster local queues that are present in the PRs. During this, we've observed that sometimes, instead of the messages going to the cluster local queues in the PRs, a local queue is created in FR1 and all the subsequent messages are put there. At the same time, nothing is written in the logs either. Can you please help me understand this behaviour?
Thanks |

A bug in the application code is causing the "addressing" of the message to be specifically the FR queue manager and in response the FR creates the needed queue and puts the messages to that, not the PR versions.

| Thanks Vitor. Just to confirm, by "application code" you mean the client application, right? Also, can you please point me to some documentation on the MQ Queue auto creation? I tried and couldn't find any. May be I'm not searching right. |

An application that MQOPENs a QModel definition will create a queue dynamically - what seems to you to be automatic.

Sounds like a bug to me, probably in the application, but this can't happen "by accident".
Check https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_9.1.0/com.ibm.mq.dev.doc/q026100_.htm
It takes quite some effort to create a dynamic queue (see above page) which is the thing Bruce is mentioning.
You would need to have a model queue on your putter's qmgr of the same name as the remote queues (seems unlikely).
Therefore it seems unlikely a dynamic queue is being created.
It seems unlikely your application is doing this deliberately, but who knows.
It also seems unlikely MQ would do this automatically, because that is not what it does. |

What local queue is created? Display the queue (with MQExplorer or MQSC). What queue type?
Nothing is written to which logs? Do you mean the AMQERR01.LOG?

Something / someone is creating the local queue on the FR qmgr. MQ is not doing it by itself. Displaying the queue will show the create date/time. Compare its attributes to the same local queue on the PR qmgrs. You could try enabling MQ Command Events to see what is defining the queue.

I would concur with all my learned colleagues have already said.
There is nothing in clustering that will create a 'pre-defined' local queue on a FR automatically. If there is a 'pre-defined' local queue of that name on the FR it is because someone defined it there.
Check the definition of the queues in question, and look at DEFTYPE and CRDATE and CRTIME. Perhaps post back here with the DISPLAY QLOCAL(name) output so we can see too?
Cheers,
Morag
