Hi Aatush,
I would assume that you'd have to set a global environment variable
(ControlPanel->System) on Windoze platforms as well, wouldn't you?
Just a guess, haven't tried it.

RE: Increase size of error logsMy friend found the following on IBMLINK:-

1. ERROR DESCRIPTION:
   Customer requests that the size of the error logs be either
   larger or (better) changeable. The current size defaults to
   256Kb but he wants to be able to manually change the default
   size to as large as 1 megabyte in size for each log file.
   PROBLEM SUMMARY:
   The problem has been fixed.
   .
   New function has been provided to allow the user to specify the
   maximum size of error log files (amqerr0x.log) with a new
   environment variable,MQMAXERRORLOGSIZE,(the default is 256K):
   .
 ,MQMAXERRORLOGSIZE=x,
   .
  where x is the approximate file size in bytes.
   .
2. PROBLEM SUMMARY:
   Cust wanted to know how to change error logs size.
   SOLUTION:
   In order to change the error log size under the three directories
   that MQSeries uses to log errors in, he needs to use the following
   environment variable globally: ,MQMAXERRORLOGSIZE=100,where
   100 is the maximum.
So for UNIX platforms you set the environment variable, but does anyone
know where to set the registry value on NT???

MQ is inherently asynchronous - your CICS and AIX apps will not be talking
directly to each other in the way that they do with LU6.2 - although message

can have any number of threads getting / putting msgs at the same time

Re: Running different versions of MQ

2003-03-21 Thread Miokovic, Nick
Title: Running different versions of MQ









Stewart:

 

We are running the same configuration.
Early Code is loaded in the LPA, so you’d include your thqual.SCSQLINK library in an LPALSTxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
This library does not have to be in linklist.

 

As for your thqual.SCSQAUTH,
its how you want to migrate to your new release that will dictate what you do.
We’ve left the old 1.2 thqual.SCSQAUTH in our linklist and steplib to the new thqual.SCSQAUTH
for those programs running 5.3 MQSeries. For Clists I picked up a little
utility called STEPLIB to allocate the appropriate SCSQANLE SCSQAUTH libraries
based on the release we’re connecting to.

 

Hope this helps

Subject: Running different
versions of MQ

 





Am I correct in my assumption..? 

We have a client who has stated that they
would like to be able to run MQ 1.2 and MQ 5.3 simultaneously on the same
LPAR.  I had read about this in the MQ 5.3 Systems Setup Guide, and I just
reviewed it again.  This requires that the Early Code of the latest
version be added to the Link List first, and then execution of multiple
versions should be possible.  However, the 'SYS1.SCSQAUTH' library is
currently in the Link List.  It appears this will have to be removed from
the Link List and added to every batch region that accesses MQ.  I believe
it is already in all of the CICS regions.  If I understand it correctly,
the two libraries that represent the Early Code are 'SYS1.SCSQLINK' and
'SYS1.SCSQSNLE'.  'SYS1.SCSQAUTH' is dynamically allocated within the
clist that runs the ISPF MQ panel.  However, due to other MQ programs
called while using ISPF, I think 'SYS1.SCSQAUTH' will need to be added to the
STEPLIBs of all the TSOPROCs also.

Thanks in advance 

Stewart 








Re: Data conversion on mainframe

2003-03-21 Thread Darren Douch
Ruzi

the connection handle in a CICS app isn't a 'normal' connection handle - it
is actually the CICS region itself is connected to the qmgr, CICS just lets
the application use one of these handles.  The contents of the handle are
0 - before and after - and that is normal.

I really think this is a problem with the MQXCNVC support (like maybe it
isn't supported from C/CICS) rather than it being an application problem.

Thanks
Darren.

Re: Candle Command Centre and MQSeries

What do you have specified as the interval for the situation?  We very seldom see in-doubts thru CCC, but we set the interval to 1 minute.

        cc:        
        Subject:        Candle Command Centre and MQSeries



 

First let me explain that in the MTSP QMGR we have MQ channels going out to:

 

AAR_MTSP.AAR_AARP  

AAR_MTSP.AAR_MTST  

AAR_MTSP.CCRA_TITAN    

AAR_MTSP.CNR_MCP2  

AAR_MTSP.CPR_MQP2 

MTSP.TO.MQOHUXP1.BIN  

MTSP.USCS_MQB1    

SGRC.MTSP.ZCC1 

 

 

  All except the top 2 are in remote networks.  These are all SNA except for the Sun Solaris.  I have the batch size set to 500 for the channels to the other in-house QMGRs as the volume is very high.  The volume to MTST is not high, though.

 

  If you look inside the CCC task CANSCMSA at the DD RKLVLOG, you can see the activity.  The issue is that the CCC is sending out false channel indoubt alerts, and I think they are always for the high activity channels between MTSP and AARP.

 

  Sometimes the indoubt period is perceived to be short, but here is one that is not:

09:48:09.14 KO41041    Enterprisesituation MQSeries_Channels_Indoubt:MTSP:ASYS:MQESA is true.   

09:53:09.11 KO41042    Enterprisesituation MQSeries_Channels_Indoubt:MTSP:ASYS:MQESA is no longer true. 

 

  From this message, you cannot know which channel it MTSP it was.  These are showing up as red button alerts on the CCC monitor.  When one of these long ones occurs, you can look at MQ with the MQ panel, and the channel is NOT in an indoubt status.  I have turned off the channel events going to 'SYSTEM.ADMIN.CHANNEL.EVENT', which the CCC reads, but it is gather this info by observing the QMGR in a non-intrusive way.  That's what Candle calls it.  

 

  So, this is the issue.  Operations is being bombarded with channel indoubt alerts, which in my opinion are not actually occurring.  

 

  Has anyone had a similar experience or any ideas?

2003-03-21 Thread Thomas, Don



Stewart,
    I've also seen Candle throw out
alerts about the channel in doubt status. What I learned was that everytime MQ
attempts to start a channel there is small period of time when the channel will
be in doubt. This occurs as the MCA's work through their hand shaking. I was not
able to figure out though why Candle seemed to catch some of these situations
and not others. The only effective way I found to stop Candle from sending the
alerts was to disable the situation in Candle . I still have the Channel Stopped

First let me explain
that in the MTSP QMGR we have MQ channels going out to:
 
AAR_MTSP.AAR_AARP 

AAR_MTSP.AAR_MTST 

AAR_MTSP.CCRA_TITAN   

AAR_MTSP.CNR_MCP2 

AAR_MTSP.CPR_MQP2

MTSP.TO.MQOHUXP1.BIN 

MTSP.USCS_MQB1   

SGRC.MTSP.ZCC1

 
 
  All except the
top 2 are in remote networks.  These are all SNA except for the Sun
Solaris.  I have the batch size set to 500 for the channels to the other
in-house QMGRs as the volume is very high.  The volume to MTST is not high,
though.
 
  If you look
inside the CCC task CANSCMSA at the DD RKLVLOG, you can see the activity. 
The issue is that the CCC is sending out false channel indoubt alerts, and I
think they are always for the high activity channels between MTSP and
AARP.
 
  Sometimes the
indoubt period is perceived to be short, but here is one that is
not:
09:48:09.14
KO41041    Enterprise situation
MQSeries_Channels_Indoubt:MTSP:ASYS:MQESA is
true.  

09:53:09.11
KO41042    Enterprise situation
MQSeries_Channels_Indoubt:MTSP:ASYS:MQESA is no longer true. 
 
  From this
message, you cannot know which channel it MTSP it was.  These are showing
up as red button alerts on the CCC monitor.  When one of these long ones
occurs, you can look at MQ with the MQ panel, and the channel is NOT in an
indoubt status.  I have turned off the channel events going to
'SYSTEM.ADMIN.CHANNEL.EVENT', which the CCC reads, but it is gather this info by
observing the QMGR in a non-intrusive way.  That's what Candle calls
it.  
 
  So, this is the
issue.  Operations is being bombarded with channel indoubt alerts, which in
my opinion are not actually occurring.

MQ Multithreading

2003-03-21 Thread Dean Montevago
Hi,

We have a CICS (S390 <==> AIX) LU6.2 application that is multithreaded with
up to 8 tranactions. This is being converted to MQ. Can you do
multithreading with MQ ? If so, any ideas on how to go about it.

TIA

Re: Candle Command Centre and MQSeries

2003-03-21 Thread Rick Tsujimoto
I defined a situation that traps the INDOUBT event and assigned it as a
warning (yellow), so Operations basically ignores it.  I suppose you could
assign it as a "Not Monitored" situation via the MQSeries Manager template,
or delete/stop the situation if you do not wish to get any alerts at all.

BTW, I think you should change your background color (gray) to white.  It's
a little tough to read.

Re: Anyone tried putting large messages with Paul Clarke's "Q" program?

2003-03-21 Thread Paul Clarke
>You seem to be passing in 'q' as an argument to the -f switch, does that
mean you're trying to put the contents of the 'q' utility on as a MQ
message?  What is the -=999 parameter for?

Kulbir,

The '-=' parameter tells queue to accept truncated messages larger than
this value, this is used when getting messages from a queue. For example q
-IQ1 -=1 will remove messages from a queue and truncate every message after
the first byte. This can be useful if you want to clear a queue, ie. q -IQ1
-=1 -q but don't want Q to have to allocate megabytes of storage just to
read your large messages into. Note that whenever you are truncating
messages you are effectively throwing away data though.

Re: MQSI 2.1 aggregate reply looping when error downstream

2003-03-21 Thread "Rodríguez Alvarez-Querol, Manuel Carlos"
Hi Pierre,

While reading your email the error looks familiar but when I saw the code
everything looks fine. But when I took I closer look I saw in your code a
really small detail which I think, could be the wrong thing.

In your compute node you are building a wrong XML message. I noticed you
wanted to add the XML declaration before your data.
This is the correct ESQL code to add the xml declaration.

--Create an XML Declaration
SET OutputRoot.XML.(XML.XmlDecl)='';
--Set the Version within the XML Declaration
SET OutputRoot.XML.(XML.XmlDecl).(XML.Version)='1.0';
--Set the Encoding within the XML Declaration
SET OutputRoot.XML.(XML.XmlDecl).(XML."Encoding")='UTF-8';
--Set Standalone within the XML Declaration
SET OutputRoot.XML.(XML.XmlDecl).(XML.Standalone)='no';

To complete your code you could take a look to section "Referencing
information in XML message" in Chapter 2 in the ESQL reference manual.

I hope this could help you.

Manuel Carlos Rodriguez

Ok, and how do I tell my MDB that the onMessage() method should
wait for a message on a given MQ queue?

In other words, where do you specify what kind of source (socket,
MQ queue, whatever) do you want to poll for incoming data? Is
this using JMS? If yes, does this support MQ "out-of-the-box"?

Finally, and stretching my luck a bit, could you provide a
pointer to a source code example? After all, I'm sure this has
to be a very common use case.

AW: Backup CFstruct

2003-03-21 Thread Raabe, Stefan
Hello, 

here is a sample what you could do using netview or any
other proper automation tool:


do every hour
  if qmgr a available
 issue dis cfstruct(*) on qma
  else
if qmgr b available
   issue dis cfstruct(*) on qmb
  endif
  issue backup cfstruct for every structure on proper qma/b
end do


anyway, it depends on your amount of data and the way the
application works. messages should not reside in queues
for hours , especially if these queues are shared queues.
it also depends on how busy your queuemanager is and how
many logdata has to be read in case of a recovery
situation. 
anyway, try keep backups small (try to keep queues empty)
and try to do frequent backups to minimize recovery time
(especially for production systems)

maybe it makes sense to do backups depending on
queuemanager (or beter, qsg) activity, e.g. depending
on the number of active log switches. just an idea, i did
not think much about it yet.


regards

stefan
