2055 (0807) (RC2055): MQRC_Q_NOT_EMPTY

Explanation

An MQCLOSE call was issued for a permanent dynamic queue, but the call failed because the queue is not empty or still in use. One of the following applies:

• The MQCO_DELETE option was specified, but there are messages on the queue.
• The MQCO_DELETE or MQCO_DELETE_PURGE option was specified, but there are uncommitted get or put calls outstanding against the queue.

See the usage notes pertaining to dynamic queues for the MQCLOSE call for more information.

This reason code is also returned from a command to clear or delete or move a queue, if the queue contains uncommitted messages (or committed messages in the case of delete queue without the purge option).

Completion code

MQCC_FAILED

Programmer response

Check why there might be messages on the queue. Be aware that the CurrentQDepth queue attribute might be zero even though there are one or more messages on the queue; this can happen if the messages have been retrieved as part of a unit of work that has not yet been committed. If the messages can be discarded, try using the MQCLOSE call with the MQCO_DELETE_PURGE option. Consider retrying the call later.
