Is the problem intermittent?

An intermittent problem could be caused by the way that processes can run independently of each other. For example, a program might issue an MQGET call without specifying a wait option before an earlier process has completed. An intermittent problem might also be seen if the application tries to get a message from a queue before the call that put the message has been committed.
