As far as I know you cant set processor affinity under NT however you can set priorities for processes and tasks. You may want to try setting you MQ processes with a higher priority than MQSI(WMQI). After all it is WMQ that is servicing WMQI and as such you want it receiving priority.

AC.AT> 26/11/2002 01:26 Please respond to MQSeries List When MQSI is doing its thing and is real busy with heavy volume going thru an ESQL heavy compute node, the MCAs on the box get left with no resources. As a result we see XMIT queues to this box temporarily back up as the sending MCAs can't talk to the receivers, because the receivers have no available CPU. On a 2 CPU box, I would like to say, CPU#1 is only for MQSI, and #2 is for the QM and its MCAs. But maybe if there were 2 or 4 CPUs all going at the same time, the issue would not crop up anyway.

If there was a fourth CPU, would there be a way to say that all the regular QM processes ( MCAs, etc.) should use just this CPU? And the RAM would be equally shared by all regardless, correct?
