Resetting channel synchronization
If synchronization errors are reported because the message counts at the two ends of the channel are not in synchronization, you can reset the synchronization.
About this task
The Message Channel Agents (MCAs) at the two ends of a channel each keep count of the number of messages sent through the channel so that synchronization between the two ends of the channel can be maintained. Synchronization can be lost, for example, when the channel definition at one end is deleted and then re-created. The re-created channel definition resets its count to 0, and if a queue manager attempts to use the channel, synchronization errors are reported because the two ends of the channel are not in synchronization.
To fix problems with channel synchronization, you must reset the count of the channel definition that was not re-created.
To reset the count, complete the following steps.
Procedure
Results
The two ends of the channel have the same message count and so are synchronized.
