2203 (089B) (RC2203): MQRC_CONNECTION_STOPPING

Explanation

This reason code is issued when the connection to the queue manager is shutting down, and the application issues an MQI call. No more message-queuing calls can be issued. For the MQGET call, if the MQGMO_WAIT option was specified, the wait is canceled.

Note that the MQRC_CONNECTION_BROKEN reason may be returned instead if, as a result of system scheduling factors, the queue manager shuts down before the call completes.

MQRC_CONNECTION_STOPPING is also issued by the message channel agent (MCA) when the queue manager is shutting down.

For MQ MQI client applications, it is possible that the call did complete successfully, even though this reason code is returned with a CompCode of MQCC_FAILED.

Completion code

MQCC_FAILED

Programmer response

The application should tidy up and terminate. Any uncommitted changes in a unit of work should be backed out. A unit of work that is coordinated by the queue manager is backed out automatically.
