WAS 50: MDB listener ports not starting for Topics

[Juzar Roopawalla]

I have installed WAS5.0.2 on a Win 2k (sp2) machine. When I start the server (server1) the first time, the SystemOut.log file contains the message :
MDBListenerIm W WMSG0019E: Unable to start MDB Listener PSSampleMDB, JMSDestination Sample/JMS/listen : com.ibm.mq.jms.BrokerCommandFailedException: Broker command failed: 3008 Reason code 3008

From the Admin console it shows the listener port in the 'started' state! I also created my own listener attached to a topic connection factory. This too did not start. This is happening only for listeners associated with topics. What could the problem be?

check if u have defined the MQ_INSTALL_ROOT apporiately. i mean the scope.

[Juzar Roopawalla]

Well this variable is not defined because I have not installed MQ separately. I have just installed the version which comes along with WAS 5.0. The two variables automatically defined are MQ_JAVA_DATA_PATH & MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH. It still is throwing the same error and that too...only for MDB listeners to Topics.

Yep, mine also same error with the same kind of set-up. Any updates on this problem ??

[Max Tomlinson]

Can someone tell me where I can find info on installing MQ 5.3 and integrating it with WSAD5?
thank you,
Max Tomlinson

Try following URL:

The 3008 reason code for the Broker command can occur when the userid has an incorrect length. The Event Broker only allows a 12 character userid on the MS Windows platform and 8 characters on the UNIX platforms. It is recommended that your userids be a maximum of 8 characters, unless you know for certain that your network only consists of Windows machines. Then you could have a maximum of 12 characters.
