Hi, We have an issue with one of our NT Boxes. We are running WMQ 5.3 in this machine. Our Client is trying to connect to this machine through his sender channel. Although the listener and queue mgrs at my end are up running, the msg doesn't reach me. The MQ error log at sender end suggests

If everything is set up correctly, I would have someone put a scope on the line and see what happens to the message. A bad firewall rule, a misconfigured router/switch, are a couple of of reasons that can cause this error. Are you using the default port or did you assign a particular port? Is

Hi, Obviously, I don't know your system, but on ours whenever we get odd IP errors, the word 'Firewall' springs to mind. Another point, can other clients connect? IMHO, the first test for a client connection should be (unless the server is z/OS) over localhost, using env vars and the simplest

Each instance of a channel exit can hang any structures (or control blocks) that it needs to maintain state across invocations in MQCXP.ExitUserArea (store a pointer in here). You can store in this structure any hconn (n.b. you'll get MQRC_ALREADY_CONNECTED when you do the MQCONN, so just
