Websphere MQ Cluster Issues 4: Applications get rc=2085 MQRC_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_NAME when trying to open a queue in the cluster.

Applications get rc=2085 MQRC_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_NAME when trying to open a queue in the cluster.

Cause:

The queue manager where the object exists or this queue manager may not have successfully entered the cluster. Make sure that they can each display all of the full repositories in the cluster. Also make sure that the CLUSSDR channels to the full repositories are not in retry state.

(e.g)

1 : display clusqmgr(*) qmtype status

AMQ8441: Display Cluster Queue Manager details.

CLUSQMGR(QM1) CLUSTER(DEMO)

CHANNEL(TO.QM1) QMTYPE(NORMAL)

AMQ8441: Display Cluster Queue Manager details.

CLUSQMGR(QM2) CLUSTER(DEMO)

CHANNEL(TO.QM2) QMTYPE(REPOS)

STATUS(RUNNING)

AMQ8441: Display Cluster Queue Manager details.

CLUSQMGR(QM3) CLUSTER(DEMO)

CHANNEL(TO.QM3) QMTYPE(REPOS)

STATUS(RUNNING)

If the queue is correctly in the cluster check that you have used appropriate open options. You cannot GET from a remote cluster queue so make sure that the open options are for output only.
