SYMPTOMS

The MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge message pipes are in a pending state, and one of the following messages is recorded in the event log.

Message 1

Source: MQBridge
EventID: 67
Type: Warning
MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge failed to start message pipe because
the MQSeries queue was in use.
QMngr     : QueueMgr
QName     : Queue.XMITQ
ACTION
No user intervention is required. Automatic recovery procedure will 
try to restart the message pipe.

Message 2

Source: MQBridge
EventID: 67
Type: Warning
MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge failed to start message pipe because
the MQSeries queue was in use.
QMngr     : QueueMgr
QName     : Queue.SYNC
ACTION
No user intervention is required. Automatic recovery procedure will 
try to restart the message pipe.

CAUSE

By default, the MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge tries to open MQSeries queues with exclusive access. This causes an "MQSeries queue was in use" event to be recorded in the event log. However, the MQSeries server acts as though the queues are already open, because the queues were never closed.
