MQ SVRCONN sends "Recycle MQ Svrconn" Console Message when long running ECB's prevent OLDR "Activate" or "Acceptance"

MQ SVRCONN or OLDR sends "Recycle MQ Svrconn" Console Message when long running ECB's prevent OLDR "Activate" or "Acceptance" of loadset that contains "C" Library Component CTAL

1. The Travelport z/TPF Complex has distributed servers which connect to the z/TPF MQ Server using the MQ Client.
2. These generally support long running MQ Connections into the z/TPF LPARs.
3. A z/TPF loadset containing the "C" Program Library "CTAL" cannot be OLDR "Accepted" (or "Activated" due to the long running z/TPF Program "CMQS's" ECBs that are supporting long running zMQ SVRCONN Connections.
a. This occurs whenever the loadset has MQ related programs that process long running MQ SVRCONN Connection ECBs.
b. To accomplish the OLDR Load "activate" and later "accept" those long running MQ Connections must be severed to exit the associated long running MQ ECBs.
4. Currently, OLDR increments the loadset number when executing both the OLDR "accept" and the subsequent "activate" commands.
a. This requires that the MQ Svrconn Connections must be severed twice, once after the OLDR Loadset "activate" and again after the "accept" commands.
5. The current work around is to IPL the z/TPF Systems after both an OLDR "Activate" and "Accept".
This RFE has OLDR or MQ SVRCONN send a "Recycle MQ Svrconn" Console Message whenever OLDR is prevented from completing the "activate" or "accept" OLDR Commands.
