Yesterday evening a back up hung because a qmgr was shutting down, the shutdown was issued with a -w parameter. The shutdown took longer than expected about, 25 minutes when a normal shutdown is about 10 seconds. The support analyst who was monitoring the backup had never seen it take so long, so they panicked and started killing processes. Eventually, MQ ended normally.
I've been tasked with trying to figure out what, exactly, was keeping the qmgr from shutting down. Are there any logs or tools to read logs that I can utilize to sift through and figure it out. The error logs are showing that the WebSphere MQ Publish/Subscribe broker for the qmgr ended, 12 minutes later a couple unexpected asynchronous signals were received (I'd assume this was the analyst trying to ctrl-c out), then finally 12 minutes later the qmgr task LOGGEREV ended, and the rest of the shutdown immediately followed through to completion.
Thanks |

Currently connected apps are the usual suspects. If you are in a hurry to shut down, use the -i switch or -p switch with endmqm.

If you first want to identify the offending apps that aren't disconnecting then "dspmq -c" give you a chance to see all the local processes associated with a queue manager. You'll need to work out which are valid queue manager processes and which are the application processes that are not disconnecting, but it can be done.

Very handy - but why isn't "dspmq -c" documented on the man page?

Thanks for the "dspmq -c" tip, as well. Also, here is a little shell command to convert the output to the actual pids with the args. Those shell experts out there probably have a more elegant way to do this 
for i in `dspmq -c | xargs -n1 | grep PID | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1`; do ps -p $i -o user,pid,args; done |

| Why isn't it documented? As you can see, it's simply one of those rough around the edges internal features that has leaked out into the public domain over time (e.g. search this forum for "dspmq -c"). As such I wouldn't rely too strongly on it or the format of its output, but as you can see it can get you out of a bind. |

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |
