It shouldn't, depends on your application load and the capacity of the hardware you are running W2K on. On large as in 4-8 processor 2Gbyte machines I have heard of people having maxchannels set at 1000-2000, now thats a lot of client connections and so it depends on how active each client is. You could possibly overload MQ with as few as a couple of connections per cpu if they were "batch" programs delivering messages as fast as the CPU would let them. Especially if the message processing app was running on the same machine. You need more memory for more connections and more CPU power for more messages/sec. It is fairly easy to modify the sample programs to simulate a workload.

We are using the default which I understand is 100. I know the value can be changed using MQSeries Services. Would increasing this value to 150 cause problems? Would it be necessary to stop the service to activate the change? --- Legal Disclaimer: The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
