Hi

I tried to clear message with PCF commands, but i see with MQMON tool application in Usage application there is an application named "amqrmppa" on Channel
What is this application ? it seems blocking Clear ?
My Qmanager is in version 9.1.2.0 and my Java Jar using 8.0.0.6 version

Regards

This is the (receiving) channel itself. Stop the receiver channel which opened the queue.

Do NOT kill the process, because it may handle more than one channel.

Yes, if messages are put to a queue across a channel, the MCA (which is "amqrmppa") opens the queue and blocks the clear command.

Run the MQSC command
Code:
DISPLAY QSTATUS(<_your_queue_>) IPPROCS OPPROCS

to see, if there are any processes which opened the queue (IPPROCS and OPPROCS must both be "0").

Run the MQSC command
Code:
DISPLAY QSTATUS(<_your_queue_>) TYPE(HANDLE) APPLTAG

to see the process(es) which have opened the queue.

A quick Google search for 'mqsc clear queue command' resulted in this: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_7.5.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.adm.doc/q085470_.htm which contains this:

Quote:
The command fails if either:
- The queue has uncommitted messages that have been put on the queue under syncpoint
- The queue is currently open by an application (with any open options)


So, yes.

As long as the channel process opens the queue, you should see a value of (at least) "1" for OPPROCS - and so you cannot CLEAR the queue.

As long as a reading process (e. g. an application) opens the queue, you should see a value of (at least) "1" for IPPROCS - and so you cannot CLEAR the queue too.

I would say, both statements tell the same, because when a eonnection to a QMgr disappears, the QMgr would either COMMIT (on a regular stop of the application) or BACKOUT (on an application crash) the messages.

Is there a question here? The queue is clearly open, so the CLEAR command will fail.

Sorry
DISPLAY QSTATUS(E.MQEMMO2.MQEMMO3.X.205.QL) IPPROCS OPPROCS
--> OPPROCS(1)
DISPLAY QSTATUS(E.MQEMMO2.MQEMMO3.X.205.QL) TYPE(HANDLE) APPLTAG
--> APPLTAG(amqrmppa)

Hmm, that's what bruce2359 and I told in our last threads:

The values for OPPROCS and IPPROCS must be "0".

And the command "QSTATUS" with options "TYPE(HANDLE) APPLTAG" would show (I'm pretty sure) the channel process "amqrmppa".

So STOP the channel before clearing the queue!

A queue must not be in use by any application, when you want to clear it.

While it may come to that, I'd be interested in the channel status and why the receiver MCA is persisting a handle on that queue.

Best case (which I think is where you're going) is that the channel is in active use and a remote application is putting messages to the queue being cleared. So stopping the queue will allow the target to be cleared, but at risk of causing problems upstream (like a full xmitq).

Worse case is the channel is stuck / in-doubt / some other condition which means the MCA is persisting the handle long after it should have closed it.

Then in your place I would be very interested to discover why this queue manager process feels the need to open a handle to it.
