INC22230 · 08:30 · MQL1
Monitor 08:30: no messages put to CLAIMS.REQUEST since 07:05 (normally about 30 a minute)
Change CHG4470 updated CLMSEND's settings at 07:00

Branches send insurance claims through application CLMSEND, which puts them on queue CLAIMS.REQUEST on queue manager MQL1; application CLMRECV takes them off. At 07:00 change CHG4470 updated CLMSEND's settings for the new claims form. Since 07:05 nothing has arrived on CLAIMS.REQUEST, and CLMSEND says it cannot send. Find out why and get claims flowing again.

What you will do

  1. Read the application log
  2. Compare the queue name the application uses with the queues that exist
  3. Fix the setting, restart the application and prove claims arrive
