I've noticed, just starting last week, that two different MQ servers, via Windows Terminal Services client, show the MQ service icon (in the lower right corner of Windows) shows a down red arrow when in fact the queue manager is running. Also, looking in the MQ services MMC, the queue manager and command server show a running status, while the channel initiator, listener and trigger monitor show a stopped status. When I check Task Manager, all are running.
In order to resync the MMC, I have to use Task Manager to kill (End Process) the runmqchi.exe, the runmqlsr.exe and runmqtrm.exe processes. Then I can use the MQ Services MMC to start these three processes. I saw the recent notes on conflicts in the Explorer/MMC due to someone running RUNMQSC while the MMC was up, but I'm not sure this is the same thing, as I've seen the same symptoms on two different servers. One is 5.2.1 and one is 5.3 (October). The 5.3 was installed two months ago. It is possible that more than one person has an MQ Services/explorer open at a time on these two queue managers/servers.. Could that cause the problem?
