I have a sender/receiver channel connected to a mainframe, every once in a while we see the HBINT timeout in the logs:

AMQ9213: A communications error for TCP/IP occurred.

EXPLANATION:
An unexpected error occurred in communications.
ACTION:
The return code from the TCP/IP(select) [TIMEOUT] 360 seconds call was 0


Sometimes everything resumes normally.. but on occasion - our (unix) sender channel will show 'running', yet there will be messages in the xmitq. The only way to get rid of them is to stop the channel, remove the messages, resolve and restart the channel.

The logs on the unix side show nothing except the timeout, then immediately after show the sender starting.

The mainframe side shows channel ended abnormally, then channel adopted and started

We have added adoptmca to both sides, and have the hbinit and discint set.

After all that i guess my question is why would our heartbeat time out (we have other connections to the same mainframe that remain up) and what happens after such a timeout and an adoption to cause the xmit queue to fill.

Thanks

You did not specify version and fix pack level of the qmgr. I believe this was addressed by some APAR and woulb be fixed in the latest fix packs. You would have to search the IBM site for this behavior or open a PMR.

Have fun

And you don't need to remove messages from XMITQ to perform these steps.

And unless you see messages in the QM error logs that say the channel is in doubt, I'd be surprised if you really need to resolve the channel.

I know we are a bit behind....

Name: WebSphere MQ
Version: 530.11 CSD11

Mainframe spits this out when the timeout happens:
CSQX208E ???? CSQXRESP Error receiving data, 641

09.39.51 STC00028 +CSQX599E ???? CSQXRESP Channel CHANNEL.01 ended abnormally
09.39.51 STC00028 +CSQX475I ???? CSQXRESP Channel CHANNEL.01 adopted
