All,
I am using Windows 2000, Web Sphere MQ server 5.3 with CSD 13.

Every 20 minutes I see the following errors in my Windows Application Event log.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: WebSphere MQ
Event Category: None
Event ID: 9999
Date: 3/7/2007
Time: 11:24:48 AM
User: N/A
Computer: RTS-MQS
Description:
Channel program ended abnormally.

Channel program 'XYZ.TO.ZYX' ended abnormally.

Look at previous error messages for channel program ' XYZ.TO.ZYX' in the error files to determine the cause of the failure.

Next error

Event Type: Error
Event Source: WebSphere MQ
Event Category: None
Event ID: 9558
Date: 3/7/2007
Time: 11:24:48 AM
User: N/A
Computer: RTS-MQS
Description:
Remote Channel is not currently available.

The channel program ended because the channel 'XYZ.TO.ZYX' is not currently available on the remote system. This could be because the channel is disabled or that the remote system does not have sufficient resources to run a further channel.

Check the remote system to ensure that the channel is available to run, and retry the operation.


AND one more

Event Type: Information
Event Source: WebSphere MQ
Event Category: None
Event ID: 9002
Date: 3/7/2007
Time: 11:24:47 AM
User: N/A
Computer: RTS-MQS
Description:
Channel 'XYZ.TO.ZYX' is starting.

Channel 'XYZ.TO.ZYX' is starting.

None.

These 2 errors and one information are created every 20 minutes. It looks like my channel is resetting itself every 20 minutes.

Any suggestions/ideas on how I can prevent this.

Appreciate your help.

It looks like it's never able to start successfully, because

Well during the 20 minute period between the errors I am able to send requests and receive response which indicates that the channel was started and is running.

Do you see a RUNNING channel status on this particular channel?

Do you have a firewall in between the two machines? Is it configured to close all connections after 20 minutes?

I do not have access to the logs on the remote system as its a different company we connecting to.

Regarding the firewall, I am not sure but I will check right now to see if there is anything setup to close connections between the two systems.

Ask them to stop dropping the channel.

You need to at least follow the hint in the message, even if it is a differnet company.....

I have asked them to look into it. Just wanted to make sure that there is nothing wrong on my end or my configuration of the channel which is causing this problem.

Do you connect through a firewall which drops the connection after a time?

The network guys checked the firewall and it looks like there is nothing on our end which is dropping the connection every 20 minutes.

Are you sure you are checking the right channel?
The msg looks like it is produced from a RETRYING channel which is starting and failing every 20 minutes, 1200 seconds, the default LONGRTY (long retry) interval. There should be corresponding msgs in the qmgr error logs.
