Thanks for the reply.  The apps group decided to go with fewer records and
they will not be persistent.

Lissette,

We had an application that sent about 8,000 2k-4k MT942 reports from the MF
to an Windows frontend server farm where the data was parsed and applied to
a data warehouse. When we were sending those messages persistent and one at
a  time the amount of time was substantial. Granted there may have been
network considerations. BUTwe blocked those messages into 4mb blocks and
the destination dissasembled them. When we switched to blocking the messages
the time to deliver was reduced SUBSTANTIALLY!!! This option is not always
available. But if it is you may want to consider using it. Try to run some
performance test of the throughput. This could be done without a sweat by
modifing one of the supplied example programs (amqsput) to do a loop and
changing the message size.

Hello,

I have a client on a Windows NT platform that is putting a message onto a
remote queue defined on a OS/390 platform, which in turn sends the message
to a second OS/390 platform.

The application on the second OS/390 platform does not do a 'get' with
convert and thus the message is still in ascii code.

What do I need to do to convert the message to EBCIDC before the message is
'put' from the client.

The conversion on the get will not take place if the message descriptor

MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge - Transactional?

2002-12-05 Thread Jason Antonitis
My client implemented a custom written bridge between MSMQ and MQSeries
Client on Windows NT.  The machine with MSMQ does not have a local Queue
Manager, only MQSeries Client.  This design has been scrapped since
MQSeries Client cannot participate in a distributed transaction with MSMQ.

Does anyone know if the Microsoft supplied MSMQ-MQSeries bridge supplies
some transactional control when using MQSeries Client?  There is a brief
mention of "Transactions Through the Bridge" in a MSDN article I read, but
it didn't specify working with MQ Client.  I've pasted that into the bottom
of this post.

We've also looked at MQe, but it also doesn't support transactions.

Is a full-blown Queue Manager the only way to manage a transaction between
MSMQ and the MQSeries Family?  Unfortunately, it's not an option here.  I
really don't want to roll my own transaction manager if I don't have to.

Thanks for your help,
Jason



Snippet from MSDN article:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/host/reskit/part3/hisrkc12.asp


Transactions through the Bridge
MSMQ and MQSeries applications that send messages in a transaction through
the MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge can expect the same semantics and notifications
that would be received if the application were sending messages to native
queues.

When an MSMQ application commits, sending a message, the message is placed
in the source xact dead letter queue and routed to the transactional
connector queue for processing by the Bridge. The Bridge will read the
message within a transaction, convert and send the MQSeries message also
within a transaction. The smaller of the two MSMQ timeout values
PROPID_M_TIME_TO_REACH_QUEUE and PROPID_M_TIME_TO_BE_RECEIVED is used to
set the MQSeries Expiry value as MQSeries only supports a single expiration
field.

Acknowledgement messages (reports) sent from MQSeries are routed to the
transmission queues used by the MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge. The Bridge reads and
converts the acknowledgement messages to equivalent MSMQ acknowledgements
and then sends the acknowledgement to the MSMQ queue specified by the
sending application.

In the MQSeries to MSMQ direction, similar processing occurs. The MQSeries
Expiry value is converted to the MSMQ PROPID_M_TIME_TO_BE_RECEIVED timeout
value. The MSMQ timeout value PROPID_M_TIME_TO_REACH_QUEUE is not set.

 Make sure the message descriptor format field on your MQPUT is set

Re: Client conversion from Windows to OS/390

2002-12-05 Thread Kevin Ferguson
John

I believe that there is no such thing as a PMO of Convert. The 'getting'
application should do the convert. Havign the 'getting' application do the
conversion makes much more sense as the 'putting' application has no idea
where the message will end up (platform wise)

If the final destination application isn't behaving and converting then a
channel between the 2 OS/390 Qmgrs could do it.but it may be easier to
change the applicaton so that it behaves itself. :)

Failing that, maybe you could write an application that sat in the middle
that did the conversion for it?

Subject: Client conversion from Windows to OS/390
Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2002 12:14:35 -0600

Hello,

I have a client on a Windows NT platform that is putting a message onto a
remote queue defined on a OS/390 platform, which in turn sends the message
to a second OS/390 platform.

The application on the second OS/390 platform does not do a 'get' with
convert and thus the message is still in ascii code.

What do I need to do to convert the message to EBCIDC before the message is
'put' from the client.


Thanks,

John

MQ Event Broker VS Websphere MQ Integrator(mqsi)

2002-12-05 Thread Mittal, Gaurav
Hi,
In our organisation we are thinking of replacing Websphere MQ
Integrator(mqsi) 2.1 with MQ Event Broker.I wanted to know if anyone has any
experiences with event broker.Is there something that mqsi support that
event broker doesn't support.Our requirements are basically for simple
PU-SUB and with some message routing logics in message flows.We are using
JMS.Also what changes we need to make to do this shift.

Hi John,

you should put the message on the client with the CCSID of the server on
OS/390.

The default CCSID is the one of the client .

Peter,

  Thanks for your reply. The channel from the Windows client to the first
OS/390 is a svrconn, so there is no conversion parameter to turn on. I have
tried to turn on conversion for the channel between the first OS/390 and the
second OS/390, but that does not help.

Re: Workflow & Clustering

2002-12-05 Thread Kevin Ferguson
Been there, fought that battle and eventually lost it to the 'well we won't
support it' mindset. I was not happy with depth of the MQ knowledge of the
consulting firm that came in to implement the workflow application and even
less happy with their z/OS experience.

The clustering doesn't really give us any problems, however we ran
definately ran into the IBM wants it done this way or we won't support it
approach. You have to remember that Workflow wasn't developed by IBM and
that it didn't come from the mainframe end...consequently the scripts that
define the queues etc are not at all mainframe friendly. They are generated
on a work station and then defined in a batch run on z/OS.

We agrued long and hard that we didn't see the need for more than one Qmgr
on MVS too and lost that one because the consulting firm didn't understand
the concept of one Qmgr being able to handle lots of applications and the
IBM rep. supported them.

If you would like to see some of the emails that were fired around I will
send them to you but outside of this forum.

  Having WMQ and WMQI on different filesystems is not going to make much
improvement on performance, but will make life easier from an

One of the system administrators at my client has insisted that there is
not
a requirement for separate file systems for MQ and MQ Integrator.  We are
now suffering performance problems.

I have been unable to find any documentation that specifies that the
performance problems may be caused by using one shared filesystem on a
Solaris server.  Also, as this is a development machine, there is only one
physical disk.

Can anybody point me to any evidence that using multiple filesystems will
improve performance?

Re: CICS Bridge Start

2002-12-05 Thread Gary P. Klos
Jill,
We found the easiest way to start the bridge transaction (CKBR) is to start
it with a Process defined to the REQUESTQ.  Use a trigger on FIRST on the
requestq to start the transaction the first time a message is put on the
queue.  This way no terminal is tied to the transaction.  Refer to IBM's
Systems Administration Guide for os390/zos - Operating the CICS Bridge.
I hope this helps.

Re: Weblogic/MQJMS

2002-12-05 Thread Quigley, Robert



Have
you tried command line commands (amqsput) to put the remote queue?  If the
environment works at that level and your message shows up on the other end, your
JNDI implementation should work.  I'd eliminate this layer and start moving
up to higher levels (context, syntax, etc.).  Are you throwing a
javax.naming.NamingException?

MQSeries in HP Serviceguard clusters.

2002-12-05 Thread Tryggve Johannesson
   Hello everyone!

I am about to cluster adapt an existing MQSeries installation on one
node in a two-node cluster, where both nodes will eventually run
MQSeries. I have the installation guide from IBM, but alas am a bit
worried. The cluster is a production cluster and one of the more
critical ones for the customer. Test environment is probably not an
option, I am afraid.

Have anyone done this before and have any tips, tricks, "do not!!",
gotchas etc. Is the "MQSeries for HP-UX - Implementing with
Multi-Computer/ServiceGuard" as good for this as it sounds. Its still
version 1.0 after more than a year. ".0" make me nervous. ;-)

Thanks in advance
   TJo

Workflow & Clustering

2002-12-05 Thread BAH . van . der . Leeuw
Hi,

Our organization is looking into using MQ Workflow. At this moment, we're
not using any clustering in our environment. However, the MQ Workflow
product seems to require clustering to operate correctly. What I understand
of MQ Workflow, using just a single Enactment server, it must be possible
to avoid using clustering, but this means we would have to manually edit
the confuguration scripts that are generated when installing the workflow
product.

Personally, I have more confidence in the manual adjustment of the MQ
configuration than in using clustering in a production environment,
especially when only 1 workflow server is used. Does anyone have any
experiences to share?

The responsible projectmanager is afraid that IBM will not provide support
when we change the configuration, so that no clustering is used. Any
comments?
