Many WTO 'qrpl prepare' messages in CICS log

Question & Answer


Question

Why are thousands of qrpl prepare messages being written to the console? The message 'qrpl prepare' is issued across a large number of CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) regions with different applications. I also see this in our MQ Trigger Monitor tasks. I need help determining who is issuing these messages.

Answer

The message in this case was issued by BMC ManWiew for WebSphere MQ component MQ extensions (most probably from a module called MQTAPCX8 from BMCLINK library). It seems that setting PASDATA=YES in EXITOPT was the root cause. This change was needed to fix another problem.

You will need to disable the MQ MainView API in MQ by removing Step " //AMQ EXEC PGM=MMAHINIT,PARM='MQT'" from the MQ MSTR JCL.

Contact BMC for MainView Support if you need additional help.

If the above does not fix your problem and IBM CICS Support assistance is needed then you'll need an MVS SLIP message trap to take a dump when a WTO with the " qrpl " string is executed.
