I am working with MQ Workflow 3.6. I am using the fmcnshow.exe program in my activities to copy the input container data to output containers. The location of the fmcnshow.exe is C:\IBM\MQWorkflow\BIN. And the whole path is mentioned in the program from which I am callling fmcnshow.exe. It was working till now. But, it is not working suddenly. I have not made any changes. Whenever I start the work item, it goes to running state but the fmcnshow.exe program is not getting executed ( The pop up window for setting the data containers is not popping up).

Please help.

Thanks,

What cleint are you using? If you are using the IBM fat client it starts automatically when you login.

The name of the PEA is fmcxpea, so check your running processes.

If you are using the thin client, you do not run the PEA and fmcshow.exe is not that useful

If you wrote your own client, you will need to start the PEA at login

Hi John,
I am using fat client. And have checked that fmcxpea.exe is running. Still the fmcnshow.exe is not working.


Thanks,

Any workflow errors etc?

Have you tried restarting the machine?

If the workitem remains in state RUNNING there is no error situation that needs to be resolved. The PEA is simply not running. PEAs are user specific, i.e. each UserId has its own PEA instance that needs to run in order to process the user's workitems. Check the owner of the running instance and make sure that the PEA for this UserId is running. Use the fmcxspea utility and the -f (force) option to start the PEA and verify in the task manager that the PEA is indeed running. (PEAs intentionally are made invisible on the taskbar). The fmcxpsd utility lets you stop a running PEA.

Hi Vennela, jmac & hos,

Thanks a bunch!
It worked after forcing the pea to start with -f option.


Thanks.
