IBM MQ client 7.5 MQRC_HOST_NOT_AVAILABLE - ibm-mq

We've tryed to test connection to the remote queue manager after installing MQ client v7.5 on Windows Server 2019. We've used Rfhutilc for this and got 'Host not available' inspite of the fact that telnet connection to the corresponding address was succecfully established. Also we tryed to connect using MQ client v9.0 with the same result.
AMQERR01.LOG (client v.7.5) reported following details:
29.09.2020 15:36:10 - Process(10828.2) User(Администратор) Program(rfhutilc.exe)
Host(-) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.5.0.6)
AMQ9208: Error on receive from host 'X.X.X.X'.
EXPLANATION: An error occurred receiving data from 'X.X.X.X' over TCP/IP. This may be due to a communications failure.
ACTION: The return code from the TCP/IP recv() call was 10054 (X'2746'). Record these values and tell the systems administrator.

Host(-) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(7.5.0.6)
AMQ9202: Remote host 'X.X.X.X' not available, retry later.
EXPLANATION: The attempt to allocate a conversation using TCP/IP to host 'X.X.X.X' was not successful. However the error may be a transitory one and it may be possible to successfully allocate a TCP/IP conversation later.
ACTION: Try the connection again later. If the failure persists, record the error values and contact your systems administrator. The return code from TCP/IP is 10060 (X'274C'). The reason for the failure may be that this host cannot reach the destination host. It may also be possible that the listening program at host 'X.X.X.X' was not running. If this is the case, perform the relevant operations to start the TCP/IP listening program, and try again.
Here is an example of how traffic data looks like when Rfhutilc refuses to connect to the queue.
As soon as according to the picture there was some code page issue we've tryed to set MQCCSID environment variable with the value 1208 and it helpled.
Also connection attempt via Rfhutilc was succeful while running under another user with login "admin" even though without setting MQCCSID variable.
But I failed to find explanation for this. Did the CCSID of the MQ client differ from system code page of what? And how could I find out default CCSID of MQ client then?
MQ client v7.5 worked just fine on the Windows Server 2012 R2 right after installing. Rfhutilc v7.5 was used both on Server 2012 and Server 2019 for testing.

ORA-03135: connection lost contact

I am getting the error as 'ORA-03135: connection lost contact' from my C# code while making connection to oracle DB. The same job works just fine from our test server. But it failed with ORA-03135: connection lost contact error from prod server.
The C# code use ODAC to connect to oracle DB.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thank you
This error is most likely caused by a firewall blocking the connection request. Check for any firewalls in your network or on the database server and make sure your access rules are configured correctly.

ORA-03135: connection lost contact tips
What can I do to avoid the ORA-03135 error?
Answer: The oerr utility shows this for the ORA-03135 error:
ORA-03135: connection lost contact
Cause:
1) Server unexpectedly terminated or was forced to terminate.
2) Server timed out the connection.
Action:
1) Check if the server session was terminated.
2) Check if the timeout parameters are set properly in
sqlnet.ora.
The ORA-03135 error is common when connecting remotely when a firewall
terminates the connection.
One solution for the ORA-03135 error is to increase the value of the
sqlnet.ora expire_time parameter in the sqlnet.ora file or to check
for a expire parameter in a SQL*Plus profile.
To diagnose the ORA-03135 error, start by checking to see if the OS
PID still exists, using the "ps -ef | grep" syntax.
Check to see if there is a Network Address Translation (NAT) between
the client and server
In Windows, check to see if a Windows firewall is checking for your
local connections.
...
Also, setting the parameters sqlnet.inbound_connect_timeout and
inbound_connect_timeout_listenername to 0 can stop the ORA-03135
error.

Error Connection Remote Queue Manager

I'm trying to connect to a remote queue manager via host address, but when I try to configure the connection using MQ Explorer, it comes back an error message
Reason 2009 (AMQ4059)
Anyone can help me to understand why MQ Explorer gives me this error?

WebSphereMQ + Centos 7

I try to install WebSphere MQ v8 on Centos 7... I did have no problem instaling the server and test it. When I try to configure client every is OK until I try to put a message at queue with the following command: ./amqsputc queue manager. Here part of the log file.

08/01/15 13:16:17 - Process(37991.4) User(mqm) Program(amqrmppa)
Host(localhost.localdomain) Installation(Installation1)
VRMF(8.0.0.0) QMgr(my.manager)
AMQ9776: Channel was blocked by userid
EXPLANATION: The inbound channel 'CANAL1' was blocked from address
'127.0.0.1' because the active values of the channel were mapped to a
userid which should be blocked. The active values of the channel were
'MCAUSER(mqm) CLNTUSER(mqm) ADDRESS(localhost)'. ACTION: Contact the
systems administrator, who should examine the channel authentication
records to ensure that the correct settings have been configured. The
ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH switch is used to control whether channel
authentication records are used. The command DISPLAY CHLAUTH can be
used to query the channel authentication records.

EXPLANATION: The channel program running under process ID 37991 for
channel 'CANAL1' ended abnormally. The host name is '127.0.0.1'; in
some cases the host name cannot be determined and so is shown as
'????'. ACTION: Look at previous error messages for the channel
program in the error logs to determine the cause of the failure. Note
that this message can be excluded completely or suppressed by tuning
the "ExcludeMessage" or "SuppressMessage" attributes under the
"QMErrorLog" stanza in qm.ini. Further information can be found in the
System Administration Guide.

I appreciate all the help you can give me, thanks in advance.
It is very easy to troubleshoot the reasons why you have been blocked by a CHLAUTH rule. There is a blog post on it, I'm being blocked by CHLAUTH - how can I work out why?
However, I can tell you from here exactly which rule is blocking you, it is the default rule which bans remote privileged access, i.e. mqm access from client connections. If you want to have access without being privileged, read A non-privileged MQ administrator, and alternatively if you do want to allow the risky remote access from privileged users, read CHLAUTH - Allow some privileged admins
It's worth noting MQ v8 doesn't support CentOS at all, and hasn't declared support for RHEL 7 either.
http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct?deliverableId=1350550241693&osPlatform=Linux
At time of writing MQ v8 supports the following Linux distros:
Asianux 3.0
RHEL 6
SLES 11
Ubuntu 12.04
That said, the error 'AMQ9776: Channel was blocked by userid' you pasted above show that your client is failing the channel authentication checks.
You can check this by disabling channel authentication via the following MQSC command:
'ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH(DISABLED)'
There's a good article on developerworks that explains how to work out why your connection attempt was blocked you can look at here:

Issue in putting a message into IBM Websphere MQ from "CMD"

We are have a IBM websphere MQ[v5.2] on AIX platform and my machine is windows 7 pro which has MQ client v7.5.
I tried to connect to server remotely but i received a Authorization error message. This is because my local user account does have rights to connect to queue manager remotely.
So,i created a new user account in my system with some name as on server which has rights to put/get message and now i am able to connect in client mode[Websphere MQ v7.5].
I don't know whether it is actually connecting to server but it is not giving me authorization error message so i took it as success. But the issue is, when I tried to put message into queue from cmd using amqsputc Queue_name mqm the queue is opening and taking a message. But when i tried to get the message using command amqsgetc queue_name mqm it says "NO MORE MESSAGE".
What could be the issue?
Screen shot:
The fact the amqsputc doesnt give an error, and the fact the amqsgetc runs through to success implies the functionality is working. However, it finds nothing on the queue which makes me very suspicious that you have an application listening on that queue, which will consume the message as it arrives and hence before your amqsgetc. Check DISPLAY QSTATUS in runmqsc for IPPROCS on the queue - is it 0 when amqsgetc isnt running?

Can only connect to local MQ but not remote MQ

My problem is that I have two servers, one running MQ Server and one running service which will get MQ messages from the former. However easily it sounds, I cannot make the latter to connect to the queue manager on the first server. I tried the following actions:
Ping the first server from the second one: it works just fine
Telnet the first server from the second one, using specific port used to connect MQ Manager on the first server (1416): it also works find
Now it comes the weird part: I created one Queue Manager on the second server (there is also a MQ Server running on that machine), with the same name with the MQ Manager on the first server that I want to connect, then I can only connect to this queue, although in the ChannelInfo I specify exactly the first server's IP address, not the second's.
After deleting the MQ Manager on the second server, it just gives me error 2058: MQRC_Q_MGR_NAME_ERROR. I checked the MQ Mananer name on the first server, it was correct.
It is possible to connect from other servers to the first server's MQ Manager.
More information that I doubt it is the source of my problem: the first server running Windows 32 bits and the second one is running Windows 64 bits. Moreover the second one is fresh installed, so I think it might have problem with some sorts of permissions. However searching around didn't help me so far.
I really appreciate if someone here could shed some lights on my problem. It made my project overdue deadline for a week already.
Thanks in advance!
No the error is not due to 32/64 bit Windows platform.
On both 32 bit as well as 64 bit Windows platforms queue manager runs as a 32 bit process.
So that's not the issue.
Obvious things to verify on the first server:
Have you defined a listener for the queue manager to listen on port 1416? If yes, is it running?
Have you defined a server connection (SVRCONN) channel on the queue manager?
How does your service(running on second server) attempt to connect to the queue manager? Is it bindings or client mode? In bindings mode, an application can connect only to the queue managers running on the same machine. In client mode, applications can connect to queue manager running on the same machine or a different machine. Your service must use a client mode connection to connect to remote machine.
To connect to remote queue manager, the application must specify the host name, port and channel name.
