>Does the information in those ' repositories' have to be persistent? Once the Qmgr has been recycled does MQ care what was there before?
>- R Not sure who this question is directed to but I would say quite definitely yes. SYSTEM.CLUSTER.REPOSITORY.QUEUE - This stores information about the definitions in the clusters. The alternative would be to have to have the definitions resent from the remote Queue Managers everytime you recycle your QM. SYSTEM.AUTH.DATA.QUEUE - This stores security information about your WMQ objects. Do you really want to reset all your security attributes everytime you restart your QM. Cheers, P.
