  • 1.  Receiver channel not coming up on Mainframe queue manager, server reset on network

    Posted 22 days ago

    Hello All,

    Can you please help me with my sender channel in linux/rhel. The receiver is not coming up at mainframe system. Firewall is allowed and it gives us server reset in splunk log.

    When I started sender from mainframe queue manager my receiver came up running.

    Is there a security that is stoping receiver to come up at mainframe system.?

                        CommentInsert3(TEST.MQ.IP)

    AMQ9202E: Remote host not available, retry later.

    EXPLANATION:
    The attempt to allocate a conversation using TCP/IP to host 'Mainframe
    (10.145.22.10) (1467)' for channel TEST.MQ.IP was not successful.
    However the error may be a transitory one and it may be possible to
    successfully allocate a TCP/IP conversation later.

    In some cases the remote host cannot be determined and so is shown as '????'.
    ACTION:
    Try the connection again later. If the failure persists, record the error
    values and contact your systems administrator. The return code from TCP/IP is
    111 (X'6F'). The reason for the failure may be that this host cannot reach the
    destination host. It may also be possible that the listening program at host
    'Mainframe (10.145.22.10) (1467)' was not running.  If this is the case, perform
    the relevant operations to start the TCP/IP listening program, and try again.

    Thanks

    KP

    Hi,

    It looks like you have "Mainframe (10.145.22.10) (1467)" in your conname on your linux queue manager.

    Try "10.145.22.10(1467)"

    Regards, Matt.

    Hi KP,

    The error message that you have shown us tells me that the TCP/IP connection was rejected for the reason ECONNREFUSED (111). This is a network error not an MQ error.

    Please try the following things to see whether you have TCP/IP connectivity between your RHEL Linux box and your Mainframe.

    • Try to ping 10.145.22.10
    • Check that the listener is running on port 1467 - for example use netstat
    • telnet to the IP address and port
    • Check the firewall - this is commonly the reason for this type of error. You say that it is allowing it - have you checked the firewall on both machines?

    Cheers,
    Morag

    Thank you so much Morag and Matthew, Mainframe Queue manager was not running on that port. corrected the port with right one and now it works!

    Thank you!
