Hello!!

I have two queue managers QM2 & QM3 in a queue sharing group QSG2. I have a target queue RQSTQ defined in QM2 and a reply queue RPLYQ defined in QM3. For various reasons I use IGQAUT(ONLYIGQ).

When a message is put to QM3 destined for the queue RQSTQ in QM2, MQ is using intra-group queuing to deliver the message from QM3 to QM2. This works ok.

The problem is when the message is put requesting a COA report message with the reply queue being RPLYQ on QM3, the following RACF error appears in QM2 when MQ tries to put the report message.

ICH408I USER( ) GROUP( ) NAME(???
LOGON/JOB INITIATION - USER AT TERMINAL NOT RACF-D
IRR012I VERIFICATION FAILED. USER PROFILE NOT FOUND.

Note that this error occurs whether the QM is QM3 which is part of the QSG or whether it is another QM where I use queue manager aliasing.

If I request an expired report message rather than a COA, it all works ok (i.e. it uses the MQMD user id). I haven't checked any other report options (e.g COD).

If I change to IGQAUT(ALTIGQ) it appears to work ok. I get other RACF errors against the MQMD user id but this is not important. The important thing is it uses the MQMD userid and not a blank user id.

I know I can use a different IGQAUT value but that doesn't solve the above problem.

It feels like MQ should not be functioning this way.

Has any one had similar problems? Can anyone offer a solution?

Regards,
Sean.
