Peter, >From what I recall you work with Gateway Queuemanager(s) to access the cluster, so I assume that your replies get back to the cluster only always end up on the same queue manager the broker sent the message from...
What you need to do on the Gateway Queuemanager(s) is define X (=number of Clustered broker Qmgrs) QMAlias definitions that not only have a blank RNAME but also have a blank RQMNAME and XMITQ This will make sure the original queuemanager name that was in the MQMD get's BLANKED and so you can let clustering do it's work... So if you have 2 broker QMGRS called QMBRK1 and QMBRK2 Define on your gateway(s) (that ARE part of the cluster) a QMALIAS definition with blank RNAME, RQMNAME and XMITQ !

It makes sense, and my Reply queues are clustered, but the Replier could be inside or outside the cluster. If they are outside, (95% of the time) they will need to populate the Destination QM value with the cluster name so my QMAliases will catch the reply message and route it back to the cluster. -----Original Message----- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Dag Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 5:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What cluster am I in? Peter, It's not about the cluster it's about the Queue, Make sure the replyToQueue is clustered and the Path back to the cluster is known. Make sure to Set the reply to QM to BLANK. Clustering will see which Queue is available and Put the message there through round robin, your Broker need not do anything special. It's late so I hope this made sense...

With 2 or more brokers in the same MQ cluster, I would like to have the outgoing Request flow produce a message whose Reply To QM field contains the name of the MQ Cluster, so that when the reply message comes back, it can go to any of my brokers, and not be obligated to going back to the Broker that processed the request. Since the Cluster names change between LAB, DEV, QA and PROD, I need a way for the flow to find out what environment it is in, so that it can dynamically set the MQMD_ReplyToQManager field to the proper cluster name depending on what environment it is in.
