Hi.... Ok, add me to the list that DOES NOT go looking for trouble when there is no indication of any....:) Actually, I have had many circumstances when FDC's get thrown on a regular basis but are not indicative of a "real" problem. For consistent ones, I would use MQSeries support to at least (hopefully!) verify the potential reasons for the FDC's. I have some systems that I have needed to run clean up scripts because the FDC's get quite annoying and take up a lot of space. The reasons vary (but are basically innocent) and with some diligence and maybe some application clean up work, you may be able to stop the causes but in our case, we threw in the towel on a few and just use the scripts to clean up.
Thanks....

I was just poking around on one server, and I happened to find a ton of FDCs. I went to look at the QA version of this server, and there were FDCs. The production version - FDCs. I started looking at other unrelated queue managers - about half had at least one FDC! Some had 20 or 30, some in one day, other spread out over the years. All are 5.3 CSD04. Both Solaris and Windows. The worst ones were the queue managers participating in Microsoft Clusters. Based on this, I feel like there is a ton of stuff that needs fixing. The first thing you do when you have major problem is go look for the inevitable FDC. BUT, everything seems fine! There are no issues, MQ keeps working, all application areas are happy. Do you guys generally go looking for problems by trying to debug FDCs? Maybe even have monitoring tools alert you anytime any FDC is created anywhere? Or unless there is a symptom of a problem elsewhere, should I just ignore them?
