MQOPEN failing with 2196 unknown xmitq

Pandora-Box · Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:08 pm

When I am trying to open a queue in a cics program it is failing with 2196 which is something to do with unknwon XMITQ .The XMITQ('xxxx') (For example) is already present while defining the queue of similar kind.But irrespective of that I get the error unknown xmit queue where as the other queue which has same xmit queue as the above queue is working fine but the other is not.

premkrishnan,

all these obj handle errors are a result of one reason:

what you are passing to the mqs open does not match the mqs set-up/definitons.....................period

either because you have garbaged it up in your program
or
what you think the name is (what you have for your program)
does not match the mqs set-up.

nothing magical about it.

same as
calling a program that does not exist in the loadlib
selecting a column that does not exist in your db2 dsn
selecting from a table that does not exist in your db2 dsn
trying to use a db2 plan that does not exist
...

use your mqs utilities and determine that associated names with queues
and compare with what you are passing to your mqs module.

i would not suggest asking someone what the names are,
find out yourself.

i know that you are relatively new to mqs, so you have a learning curve.
you should spend the time to acquaint yourself with the mqs utilities installed at your site.
usage of the utilities to determine the queue name/queue manager relationships
will save you a lot of time.
