We have four QMs in a QSG on z/os (currently still MQ 7.1) and connecting to a QM on a distributed platform (Unisys) using a shared sender channel.
The Unisys was moved to another server and the sequence number of the receiver channel defaulted to 1. The sender was trying to send a higher number (like 123456).
I tried stopping, resetting to 1 and starting the sender channel on each of the z/OS QMs using CHLDISP(SHARED) but it just caused the sender channel to flip over to another member of the QSG and go into retry there.
Is there a particular technique needed to reset the sender sequence number on a shared channel in a QSG?
In the end we reset the sequence to the number being sent, on the receiver side and it worked.

Was the sender channel INDOUBT(YES)?

Dont think so but I did notice that DEFCDISP was set to PRIVATE even though the channel runs as shared. Its a group definition. I assume that DEFCDISP should be set to SHARED?

Does the channel run shared because you always type CHLDISP(SHARED) on your start command?
DEFCDISP is there in case you forget about the CHLDISP attribute. Yes, it probably should be set to SHARED if this channel is supposed to run as CHLDISP(SHARED), but if you never forget the CHLDISP parameter, it would never be employed.
I would have expected a RESET CHANNEL .... CHLDISP(SHARED) to have worked. You don't mention the exact command you were using - can you confirm?
Remember START CHANNEL ... CHLDISP(SHARED) means, "pick a member of the QSG to run this channel". So when it "flipped over to another member of the QSG" that is what you told it to do.
If you want to run a channel on a specific member of the QSG use START CHANNEL .... CHLDISP(FIXSHARED) to run it (as a CHLDISP(SHARED)) but right here on THIS queue manager.
Cheers,
Morag

The RESET CHANNEL(xxx) SEQNUM(1) CHLDISP(SHARED) command was accepted but then the channel went into retry again with sequence number error after it was started.

I would be inclined to report that to IBM Service, because that sounds defective to me. Sounds like other members of the QSG are unable to pick up the sequence number that your command has set, and that is not by design.

Did you try to reset the receiving end with
| Code: |
| RESET CHANNEL(xxx) SEQNUM(????) |
In the error log / syslog you should find the expected seq no.

 I didn't read it - good idea  .
But nevertheless RESET on shared channel should also be possible

Agreed - I have suggested he report it to IBM Service.
