messages queueing in a state 7

[Kevin Scantlan]

We have a strange thing going on here that has us puzzled.  We are running QDX 5.2.1 rev2 on AIX 4.3.2 . Here’s the setup:  

We have an ADT, call it HISADT.  It has 4 raw routes, call them ADT1, ADT2, ADT3, and ADT4.  HISADT, ADT1, ADT2, and ADT3 are in the same process. ADT4 is static raw, the rest have some procs in the route.  Both ADT1 and ADT2 loopback to the same node as this site resides on.  ADT3 is an outbound that points to another site of a different node.  ADT4 is an outbound that points to an application on a different node.

The problem is that messages are queueing the route from HISADT to ADT4 in a state 7 status.  The latency times for all 4 routes are similar, they are just slower getting out of a state 7 condition and into a state 10 status in the outbound thread.  

On the surface, one would think the culprit is the ICL process since that’s what’s different, but we have similar setup on the same site with no problems there at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
