Symptoms
Consider the following scenario. You work with a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) channel for WebSphere MQ in a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2010 environment. The queue manager is stopped for some reason, such as a connection reset in the transport.
In this scenario, the WCF channel cannot reconnect. Then, each successive read request fails, and you receive reason code 6124 as follows:A method failed because a required connection to a queue manager was not available, and a connection cannot be established implicitly because the IMQ_IMPL_CONN flag of the ImqQueueManagerbehavior class attribute is FALSE.
Cause
This problem occurs because the error is handled incorrectly when the queue manager is stopped.
