Found this on one of my Dev Servers today:
----- amqrmrsa.c : 467 --------------------------------------------------------
04/26/05 12:13:12
AMQ9519: Channel '(ê! ìÍÌ<ñëä<ͼÄÄÄ' not found.
EXPLANATION:
The requested operation failed because the program could not find a definition
of channel '(ê! ìÍÌ<ñëä<ͼÄÄÄ'.
ACTION:
Check that the name is specified correctly and the channel definition is
available.
----- amqrcdfa.c : 1085 -------------------------------------------------------
04/26/05 12:13:12
AMQ9999: Channel program ended abnormally.
EXPLANATION:
Channel program '(ê! ìÍÌ<ñëä<ͼÄÄÄ' ended abnormally.
ACTION:
Look at previous error messages for channel program '(ê! ìÍÌ<ñëä<ͼÄÄÄ' in
the error files to determine the cause of the failure.

Did you recently acquire a partner in R'lyeh?

Check to make sure none of your objects are damaged.
You might have to delete and recreate the channel or restore it from media...

Chris,
Since you're in Arizona I'm curious what you think about this whole Minuteman thing. Honestly, if they're trying to catch illegals, they should just head to the local Home Depot
I'm not trying to be un-P.C., but I'm constantly amazed at how many guys are lined up on the sidewalk in front of H.D. at 8am when I drive to work everyday. And whenever I go out to lunch, they're all gone, which tells me *somebody* is hiring them. Those are the people I think we should be going after. I can't blame someone for trying to put food on the table... _________________ Brandon Duncan

The channel name looks like it has come from some EBCDIC machine and has not been converted. I tried to convert it from 500 (usual mainframe CCSID) to 850 (AIX CCSID), but had no luck - the characters do not come to anything sensible.
Do you have the actual hex characters in the error log, not just the printed version? |

@jeff, none from R'lyeh but I do have some new customers from Albonia using WebLogic.
@fjb, no damaged objects.
@brandon, This is an AIX box but I'll try it.
I think the MMP acomplished what it set out to do. It brought nation wide attention to the problem of our un-secure borders. Not all the guys standing around H.D. get hired every day. The reason they are all gone by noon is that the ones that don't get picked up for day labor by 09:30 or 10:00 am generally disperse on their own because chances of getting work after then are very slim. Even the ones that are standing around at 08:00 are grasping at straws. Most of the contractors, construction crews and landscapers here start at daylight.
I suppose if there is ever an episode of COP's with the Border Patrol in Phoenix you will see some of them arrested.
@Nigel, nope. Those entries came from the qmgrs/QMG/errors/AMQERR01.LOG and no FFST were created. _________________ Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial. |

What I meant by the hex characters was the values of the bytes making up the channel name. I had to guess what they were from the printed characters, for example I with a diaresis on top is hex character xCF in CCSID 819. You can get this dump by running 'od -cx' against the AMQERR01.LOG file, and looking for the error string in the output.
It looks like this:
Quote: |
0000360 \n A M Q 9 5 1 9
0a41 4d51 3935 3139
|
and so on, the interpretation of the character above the hex values.
I have seen something like this recently, where a channel on a mainframe qmgr with a default CCSID of 1208 (!) tried to start a channel, and failed to convert the channel name when it sent it to the UNIX box. The error log looked much like yours.
If we have the hex characters we can make a stab at converting them to a CCSID we can read on a UNIX machine. We will then know what channel is trying to start, and you should be able to trace it back to the originating machine and qmgr. |

This is kind of contradictory. You're choosing enforcement based on which people are trying to put food on the table and how.
One set of people are trying to put food on the table by sneaking over the boarder and working for any amount of money they can get.
The other set of people are trying to put food on the table by hiring the cheapest laborers they can possibly find, so that they can actually make a profit at the price they were forced to quote due to a very tight market and a very restricted price point. For example, I'm certainly not going to pay more than $1,000 to get my 20x20 yard landscaped - at least not for labor.
So, like everything else, it's a complicated issue.

This is basically what I thought was going on. But I didn't know the tools for translating the channel name back into what it "should" be, or the reasons why the channel name wasn't getting converted.
So I made a joke, instead. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |

@Nigel, Oh, I wasn't familiar with the "od" command. I'll try it later and post the results.
@jeff, I think Brandon was talking about arresting the people that were hiring the illegals that are hanging out at HD's and other such places but personally I think both should be arrested. Their mere presents at these places create a nuisance from litter, public defication and other public safety hazards. _________________ Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial. |

Yeah - I know. But both groups are trying to put food on the table, in different ways.

So is almost every single driver on most highways in the U.S.
The complexity comes in trying to prioritize enforcement. This is what Brandon was arguing - that one group should be targeted for enforcement more than the other - and using the economic situation of one group as the basis for targeting the other group. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |

Traffic violations are Civil except under extreme conditions. Being in the US illegally and hiring illegal aliens are both Criminal offenses. _________________ Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial. |
