Hi Experts,
Need your help on below issue.
I have two local queue managers running on windows R12 server and
those are running absolutely fine but after few days of qm restart (monthly failover) sometimes those were automatically disconnecting
from MQ explore and I am not able to view the objects but i can be able to access them from cmd prompt.
I tried to connect again but getting below error. facing the issue in MQ V9.2.2.0 and MQ V9.1.3.0 as well.
**could not establish a connection to the queue manager as a connection is already in progress**
Thanks,
Thiru. |

Please be more specific, e.g., state whether the queue managers are part of an MSCS cluster (implied), thank you.
EDIT: I have deleted your duplicate post in the Mainframe, CICS, TXSeries forum...

Sounds like MQ Explorer got into a muddle - perhaps just try restarting MQ Explorer to see if it can now connect successfully.

Yes, the queue managers are part of MSCS cluster. |

@Hughson,

I have closed the explore and tried to run the strmqcfg command from cmd prompt but still same.
Is there any other way which will help me out form this situation. Thanks! |

Yes, the queue managers are part of MSCS cluster. |
Is the VIP address for the queue manager (assuming that you are using one) part of the same resource group as the queue manager, i.e., does it fail over with the queue manager resource group?
Have your network people check and see that the assigned VIP is dropping all connections during failover, including any new connection requests.

Interesting. Can you confirm when you say it is still the same, you mean you are still getting the following error that you mentioned earlier?

Normally MQ Explorer errors have a message number at the beginning. Could you tell us the message number please? Is it for example, AMQ4569W ?
I had hoped that restarting MQ Explorer would mean that the in progress connection would be removed and when you started up again, there wouldn't be one in progress. Is there any chance that you are manually connecting when MQ Explorer has already automatically made the connection?
Is there any chance that MQ Explorer is configured to use the wrong IP address and it is taking a very long to realise that this IP address is no longer there (can take up to 20 minutes for TCP/IP to discover this). If you restart MQ Explorer and then don't touch anything does it eventually tell you it failed to connect?
Cheers,
Morag

... or, does it fail quickly/immediately?
Any channel or other errors logged in the local qmgr?
Any channel or other errors logged in the remote qmgr?

Unfortunately, we don't have direct interaction with Network team. |

There was no error showing up there, I only see close and details tab. when I click on details tab below the output.
could not establish a connection to the queue manager as a connection is already in progress
Severity:10(Warning)
Explanation: A connection to the specified remote queue manager is already in progress but has not completed
Response: wait until the connection has completed and then try again.

The queue managers are automatically connecting to explore every time, we never connected them Manually.

Thiru The queue managers are working fine let's say 20 days after a monthly failover but later some point only those are getting disconnected |

Your mention of "failover" makes me think of something else. Are these queue manager's configured in MQ Explorer with two different IP addresses? One for the primary location of the queue manager and one for the failed over location? Or do you have a floating IP address?
Could you tell us about the connection configuration details?
Are you able to ping the IP address where the MQ Explorer is trying to connect to?
Cheers,
Morag

For clarity, does "local" here mean that both qmgrs are in the same o/s instance? Same LPAR?

How do you "restart" these qmgrs? What commands are issued?
| Thiru wrote: |

Do you mean that you can issue runmqsc cmd, then DISPLAY mqsc command? Or some other cmd prompt commands?

Your original post says that you have two local queue managers ... |
I'm confused here. This seems to say that you have this same issue on other queue managers, as well. Please clarify.

Actually, we are running the queue managers on MSCS environment (Role).
we have a cluster IP and two nodes with different IPs (Active and Passive), Active one always pointing to cluster IP. and MQ DATA and LOGS are in shared directory whenever we do a failover the queue managers and Shared directory will also move to second node.
Thiru
Could you tell us about the connection configuration details?
Queue Manager Name: TEST
Connection Type: Local
Refresh Interval: 15 Seconds
Auto Reconnect: Yes
Wait Interval:30
Expiry Interval:30
Are you able to ping the IP address where the MQ Explorer is trying to connect to? Yes |

Thiru: Is the MQ Explorer instance(s) you are using installed on a machine remote from the queue managers, or do you have an instance of MQ Explorer on each of the MSCS nodes?
