Error description

  • In a WebSphere Application Server environment, if there are
    two messaging engines, ME1 and ME2, communicating with each
    other, and if ME1 is deleted then the proxy queue related to
    the ME1 persists in the other messaging engine(ME2).
    
    The proxy queues persists even after multiple server restarts.
    One can observe that the proxy queue related to the deleted
    ME1 remains on ME2 from the message store dump taken at this
    point.

    ****************************************************************
    In a WebSphere Application Server environment, where we have
    two Messaging engines (ME) communicating with each other, if
    one of the Messaging engines is deleted, then the proxy queues
    related to that messaging engine persist in the other
    messaging engine even after multiple restarts. However, a
    message store dump taken at this point from the ME running
    would reveal that the flag 'toBeDeleted' is set to 'true' on
    the proxy queues related to the deleted Messaging engine.
    Also, from the traces, we see that the Subscription messages
    related to the deleted Messaging engine still persists.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The solution involves deleting the subscription messages
    related to the messaging engine which is deleted so that the
    proxy queue is gracefully deleted.
    
    Note: This fix does not address the scenario wherein the
    Messaging engine is already deleted and the relevant proxy
    queues are flagged 'toBeDeleted' as true. However, if the
    Messaging engine is deleted after applying this fix, it would
    help clearing the messages and hence allowing the graceful
    deletion of the related proxy queues.
    
    Since the ME related to the proxy queue is deleted, there
    would not be any interactions on the proxy queues. Hence the
    presence of the proxy queues of the deleted ME would not cause
    any problems and could be safely ignored. But if you wish to
    recover from the existing situation, the possible solution
    would be to drop the Messaging engines and create fresh.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2. Please refer to
