Our queues are named after what it is - we describe the contents of the queue... because a queue does not "do" anything.
John Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .CO.UK> cc: Sent by: MQSeries Subject: Transaction Names List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] N.AC.AT> 06/22/2004 01:29 AM Please respond to MQSeries List I have already posted this question on mqseries.net, but I wondered if I would get some more responses on the list server... I am not looking for ideas on general MQSeries naming standards, I already have those and there are enough examples in the archives to keep anybody happy. Our queue naming standard is basically APP_NAME.TRANSACTION_NAME. Where APP_NAME is the name of the application that is allowed access to the queue. We use alias/remote queue definitions to wire up MYAPP.TRANSACTION_NAME -> YOURAPP.TRANSACTION_NAME I am now looking in detail at the TRANSACTION_NAME. When I look at the queues we have I see a mixture of TRANSACTION_NAME styles - some of them are named after what the message content is (i.e. ORDER_AMENDMENT) and others are named after what the applications (typically the receiving application) does with the data (i.e. UPDATE_ORDER). Thus we would have a queue called: MYAPP.ORDER_AMENDMENT or MYAPP.UPDATE_ORDER I wanted to canvas whether people preferred the "what it is" over "what it does" or vica-versa. Which style do you use and why?
