Art, We have a custom DLQH which was designed in the 1.1.4 days. It mimicks the DLQH that IBM provided for the distributed platforms, but it has some other features as well. When messages hit the DLQ and are eligible to be kept, they usually get rerouted to a user-specified backup/error queue. In addition, our monitoring system issues an email alert.

(How long do you keep them, criteria for deletion, etc.) + Do you move msgs from System DLQ to Appl-specific DLQs? Who is managing these DLQs, the appls or the admins? + Do you use the DLQ msg handler or another mechanism for DLQ maintenance? (What about on z/OS - CSQUDLQH?) Thanks in advance!
