Error description

  • An application has two activation specifications (ActSpec1 and
    ActSpec2) defined for load balancing.  ActSpec1 uses QMgr1 and
    ActSpec2 uses QMgr2.
    
    If ActSpec1 sends a poison message to the backout queue,
    ActSpec2 will pause.  A message similar to the following may be
    written to the SystemOut.log file...
    
    [11/20/12 16:15:17:433 EST] 00000060 SibMessage   W  [:]

Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED:  This issue affects users of WebSphere MQ    *
    *                  Activation Specifications with multiple     *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect message-driven bean stopped.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When a message-driven bean endpoint needs to be stopped due to
    errors, the logic used to identify the messaging endpoint from
    the message-driven bean name may select the wrong endpoint.
    This occurs if there are multiple message-driven beans within
    the same application  whose names differ only by suffix
    characters.
    This causes the wrong message-driven bean endpoint to be
    stopped.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The logic used to select the message-driven bean endpoint has
    been updated to ensure it selects the correct endpoint.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the
