What is the meaning of the variable AMQ_ABORT_ON_EXCEPTION and where can I find a description?

Here's an excerpt from an earlier post of mine (copied from the world-renowned Justin Fries). Basically, this variable determines if MQ cuts a coredump when it traps a SEGV or something - or generates an unhelpful FDC that makes you thing it's MQ in error, and not the program. AFAIK is yet another undocumented feature of MQ.

The post is at:

http://www.webmq.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4104

here's the relevant bit:

In order to solve these problems, I suggest exporting
AMQ_ABORT_ON_EXCEPTION=TRUE. If this variable is set in the environment in
which the application is running, the MQSeries exception handler will abort
the process after cutting the FDC. This will produce a core file which we
can investigate to determine conclusively who is at fault and what needs to
be done to solve the problem. If the failing program is an MQSeries
program we can examine the core file, but if it is a customer program they
will need to use dbx, gdb, or their favourite debugger to dump the stacks
for each thread in the process. We can examine cores from customer
applications only when we have their compiled application as well as all
libraries on which it depends. If their application is linked with
MQSeries, Tuxedo, Oracle, CORBA, and half a dozen other things, forget it.
If it's a straight MQSeries application we may be able to work on it
provided that we have the binary program, the core file, and a system at
the same OS and maintenance level. If not, things get very tricky very
quickly.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
