Re: MQ Client throughput - 2 questions
The distributed products attempt to avoid writing persistent messages to the log when no loss of integrity is implied, however as far as I'm aware the current 390 product always logs persistent messages. I can't comment on 390 client performance, but as far as distributed client performance is concerned our 5.3 NT client benchmark runs at over 1000 persistent round trips per second where each round trip involves the client sending the server a persistent message, the server gets the request and sends a reply and the client receivies the reply (thus each round trip involves three transactions). At this sort of rate we're running about 60 client applications and the server has 20 threads proocessing the input queue. The equivalent 5.2 benchmark ran at about 350 round trips/sec and should be documented in the 5.2 performance report. We're running a 4 way 700MHz box as the server and another to simulate the 60 clients. Andy.

When set this parameter overrides the default the maximum queue file size, and only affects queues created while the override is in effect. When the queue is created then the attribute is copied into the queue file and in order to subsequently change the maximum queue size the attribute in the queue file needs to be changed (or the queue deleted and recreated in which case the new queue will be recreated with the current DefaultQFileSize attribute). This allows different queues to be created with different maximum queue file sizes (albeit in a rather unfriendly way). Hence when you migrate from 5.0 to 5.2 the maximum queue size won't change unless you take specific action. Andy.

Re: vms process for amqzlaa0.exe over-paging
I assume that if some process is submitting messages then some other process is receiving messages, is the receiving program a user program, or an MQ program ? (e.g. an MCA). The queue manager treats the buffer size provided by the receiving application as a hint as to how big the message is likely to be, this causes overheads if the app specifies a very large buffer size unnecessarily. If the receiving process specifies a very large buffer size then the agent will allocate a buffer into which the message could be read, while if the application specifies a reasonable buffer size then the agent will read the message directly into shared memory from where it can be copied to the application process.

I have an application that is submitting 1000 byte messages, one at a tine, persistent, CMIT after each one. I noticed that while my application is running, an agent process running AMQZLAA0.EXE is regularly soft-paging about 450 pages per second - this coming from polycenter performance graphs generated from data collected realtime, as well as from watching a "show proc /cont". It is not hard-paging. The process consistently uses 31760 virtual pages, with regular jumps to about 32900 and then drops back to 31760. Does anyone have any ideas why the ZAA0 executable is soft-paging so much? We've been writing off as an artifact of the way AMQZLAA0 is handling messages; that it acquires a buffer, copies the messages into it and build control blocks, then releases it again. But, given a message size of 1000 bytes (that 2-3 pages), and a current throughput of only about 1 message per second, I can;t see how that many pages would be acquired and released per second to process a single message.

Re: Client
The implications of MQCMIT failures are not confined to either the client interface, or single phase commit. For example, It's quite possible to get a 2009 response to an MQCMIT of an MQ coordinated transaction involving another resource manager (i.e. MQBEGIN), in which case you don't know if the transaction committed or backed out. You are however assured that the transaction will either backout, or commit and that the resources involved will be in a consistent state. As far as I'm aware disconnect (either explicit (MQDISC) or implicit (termination)) doesn't give rise to any additional concerns. Andy.

Suppose an MQCMIT is requested by the client, there is a window of uncertainty until the response comes back across the channel. If the connection is lost during that window, the client is uncertain if the qmgr processed the request or not. So, I suspect it's possible for an MQCMIT request to fail (i.e. 2009) even though the commit is actually successful. Perhaps Andy or Paul can confirm that. Along similar lines, if the client abends during that window, the MQCMIT may still progress to satisfactory completion. A client that resumes after having missed the MQCMIT response, probably should not assume that it failed. > -Original Message- > From: Robert Broderick [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 8:27 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Client > > TNX Pete, > > I am also looking for any "holes' in Clients vs Server withingthe > transactional arena.

Re: Problem receiving messages from a restarted client applicatio n.
Dennis, The problem occurs irrespective of the bindings mode. The description of MQGMO_WAIT in the MQGMO section of the APRM decribes which app will be awoken when a suitable message arrives and states "if one or more nonbrowse MQGET calls is waiting, one is activated". While we do what the APRM says I agree that this is a problem that should be fixed. Andy.

Re: Problem receiving messages from a restarted client applicatio n.
Pavel, That's a little simplistic, but basically yes, if the MQGET gets as far as waiting for a message and then the get is awoken due to delivery of a message and fails before removing the message from the queue then we won't wake up another waiter to MQGET the message off the queue.

Re: Problem receiving messages from a restarted client applicatio n.
Dennis, Truncated msg failed doesn't change the queue state and so there's no backout action for this hConn (typically the UOW won't even have been created). As there's no backout action we don't consider waking up another MQGET when we discover that the first client ends. rgds Andy.

Rick, I'd anticipate treating the apps with small buffers as non destructive getter's and waking them all in the event that I couldn't find a true destructive get for the message. Andy.

The difference between the two is one had crashed so only the surrogate was left around. The instance that was started to replace it was waiting with the same initial buffer.

Re: Problem receiving messages from a restarted client application.
Rick, I've discussed this with the mainframe developers (I'm one of the developers on the MQ distributed products) and understand they have fixed a number of problems in this area recently (I assume 5.3). The 390 product has a couple of additional complications in this area (mark skip backout & get with signal), and I think that all that might be required on the distributed platforms is to avoid only waking a single waiter if the waiters buffer is too small and doesn't want to accept a truncated message. It might be sensible to awaken a waiter with a big enough buffer in preference to waking both the waiter with a small buffer and the waiter with a big buffer in my earlier example, but I'll make that decision when I look at the code in detail. It's now too late for this change to get in the first distributed 5.3 deliverable and I'd expect it to appear in the first 5.3 CSD. If you want the fix earlier then you'll need to raise a problem with the support center and the service team should be able to port the fix back to 5.2. Andy.

This application was simply using an indefinite wait. As I said we have convinced the application developers to make a number of changes that with provide a better design for their business problem. These changes have greatly reduced the frequency that the application will be exposed to this problem. However the problem still exists and is the type of issue that is going to hit you and not necessarily be easily identified. The exposure risk is going up with more java development with unspecified message lengths. As Andy says (and testing proves) the message isn't locked or considered part of a unit of work. It is available to any get that comes along. It just will not be delivered to a get that is already waiting for it, unless there is another message that becomes available to tell the queue manager to wake up the get that is waiting. I'm well aware of receiving the portion of the message that fits in the buffer as Dennis mentions and even questioned the idea of the message being locked myself, but its just not the case. It sounds like Andy understands both the issue and why the internals of the queue manager code is causing this behavior. I'm assuming, from your many past posts to this list Andy, that your one of the IBMers on this list with detailed knowledge of the internal code-base of the mainframe queue managers. Thanks Pavel, Dennis, and Mike for you comments. Andy I'd like to hear any further information on what will be done or what is to the expected behavior of the queue manager and the surrogates in this situation.

Re: Problem receiving messages from a restarted client applicatio n.
MQCC_FAILED/MQRC_TRUNCATED_MSG_FAILED does not result in the message being explicitly locked. I'm not sure if If I'm interpretting this discussion correctly, are we discussing the following situation: App1 issues MQGET+wait with buffer length X App2 issues MQGET +wait with buffer length Y App3 issues MQPUT for message of length Z where X < Z < Y As a result of the MQPUT App1 is woken with MQRC_TRUNCATED_MSG_FAILED, but does not reissue the MQGET with a bigger buffer. App2 is now waiting when the message it's waiting for is already sitting on the queue. I would agree that this doesn't seem like a completely correct implementation, although it does improve the chances of the message being available if/when App1 reissues the MQGET with a correctly sized buffer, and I think it is in accordance with the documentation of MQGMO_WAIT in the APRM. I'd be concerned that if I fixed the queue manager to wake up another waiting MQGET under these circumstances then some existing apps could break. Any comments ? Andy.

If a get under syncpoint fails, does the candidate message become available to other processes immediately or is it reserved until completion of the UOW. (By "candidate", I mean whatever message would be returned if the MQGET had been successful). In the case of a RC=2080, at least, the MD gets filled out and you get part of the message back, despite the failure. Since, it's common place to obtain a larger buffer and try the read again, I expect MQ withholds that message from other processes until it's "freed" by completion of the UOW.

Re: MQSeries PUB/SUB
Stephen, I'd prefer it if you would correct the problem with the DCE mismatch first. If the problem persists once this is fixed then please send me the FDC. Are you dependant upon the MQ DCE threads support ? If you're not using DCE threads support (e.g. if you simply installed everything (including DCE support) without considering the consequences) then you'd likely see a significant performance improvement by removing the MQ DCE support. Of course if this is not a new installation then you'll need to consider the implications of this change. If you are using DCE threads then you'll need to install the version of the broker which also uses DCE threads. Andy.

Re: Expiry
Yes the timestamp is separate to the MQMD put date/time fields. In this respect the MCA is just another MQI application. The queue manager has already adjusted the remaining expiry time for the time the message was on the xmit-q by the time the message is returned to the MCA (as documented under the description of Expiry in the MQMD section of the APRM). The MCA then propagates the new expiry interval to the partner system. Andy.

It was probably a bad example so I'll try again...

Re: Expiry
John, When the message is MQPUT we remember the time at which the put occured, when an MQGET occurs then we take another timestamp and subtract the time the message has been stored to calculate the remaining expiry interval. This remaining expiry interval is then transmitted with the message to the remote system. There is never any comparison of clocks from different machines. Andy.

It was probably a bad example so I'll try again... If two machines think they are in the same time zone, but the receiving machine is 10 minutes ahead because clocks aren't sync'ed, how does MQ know that even though the message was put at 17:00 GMT that from the "ahead" machines point of view, the message was originally put at 17:10 GMT (17:00@QMGR_A === 17:10@QMGR_B)?

Re: Expiry
John, If you "move the clock forward one hour" then we're not talking about the relative time zones and time synchronization of two machines in an MQ network, which I believe was the context of this thread. Certainly if you start messing around with the system clock you can get messages to expire in less wallclock time then the interval specified in the MQMD. Andy.

OK, if I put a message at 17:00 GMT with a 1 hour expiry interval, and then move the clock forward one hour and try to read the message, what happens? I would expect the message to be expired, because the time "elapsed" is >1hr. What is the expiry interval compared to (internally by MQSeries) when a message is read from the queue before it is deemed expired (or the expiry interval gets reduced accordingly)? I assume that the expiry interval does not reduce automatically while the message is on the queue, only when MQSeries removes the message from the queue. Does MQSeries keep it's own version of elapsed time rather than relying on the system clock or something? > If you can get a message with a 10 minute expiry to > expire in less than 10 > minutes on the distributed platforms then please > send me a trace and I'll > look into it. > > Thanks > Andy. > > John Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@AKH-WIEN.AC.AT> on > 05/27/2002 10:30:27 AM > > Please respond to MQSeries List > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent by:MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > cc: > Subject:Re: Expiry > > > > --- Jon Shearer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > I'm seeing behavior that suggests the > expiry > > interval is not simply a > > > I want to know: > > 1) why does the message expire before 10 minutes > has > > elapsed? > > I always thought (i.e. this is my theory to date) > that > the put date/time would be stored in GMT (UTC) in > the > MQMD on the queue.

Re: Expiry
Expiry is transmitted between machines as an interval. Consequently the relative timezones and clock sync should have no effect on the expiry calculation. If you can get a message with a 10 minute expiry to expire in less than 10 minutes on the distributed platforms then please send me a trace and I'll look into it. Thanks Andy.

I always thought (i.e. this is my theory to date) that the put date/time would be stored in GMT (UTC) in the MQMD on the queue. It is then converted to your local time (BST/PDT) when accessed, depending on the time zone of the machine. I would confirm that the machines are time-synced with each other. This means that if it really is 17:00 GMT and 10:00 PDT, the machines reflect this at the same point in time. If the machines report 17:09 GMT and 10:00 PDT, then the mainframe could think that 9 minutes have passed since the message was put. It's a bit like having two machines in the same time zone, but their clocks are out by 10 minutes. Machine A puts the message at 17:00, but when machine B loads it, it thinks it is 17:10, and determines that the message has expired. > 2) why are the messages that are processed rather > quickly not expired? I guess that expiry is not an exact science, or that your machines are just less than 10 minutes out in UTC terms. Regards John. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: find lost msg in active log
Glen, Sorry I can't explain this, this message certainly appears to have been put at approx 8:15 pm on 5/14/2002 (GMT) (there's an internal time in the AQRH which is independant of the PutDate/PutTime in the compressed MQMD in the log record which confirms this).

I don't think you specified what platform you're using, if it's AIX, HPUX, AS400 or LINUX then you need to ensure that you link threaded applications with libmqm_r.

So I have a client which is connecting to the CORBA server and calling this 'balance()' method. Now if this client calls the server just once..I get the results as expected. Then I tried accesing the same server thru a pthread in the client. This time the access to the server from the client happens within a thread. When I do this once..everything is fine. Now I tried putting this in a loop so that the same client has about 10 threads trying to access the server..This time te results are funny..I keep getting 2059, 2195 error codes saying that there is some sort of access in progress and all. And I get a few successful calls in between for a few threads. Any idea on why this can happen? Or has anyone faced any problems like this before?

Re: MQSERIES Digest - 8 May 2002 to 9 May 2002 (#2002-134)
Dave, You can't always do that, it doesn't work like that all the time. The relationship between the queue file and the log is fairly simple, but is NOT a guaranteed part of the queue manager externals, consequently I try not to explain how it works for fear that customers will take advantage of the current implemntation in a way that will not guarantee future compatibility. For example there are a large number of changes in 5.3 to try to avoid writing messages to both the log and the queue file. If you shut the queue manager down in a completely clean manner then one of the things that the queue manager will (currently) do is to synchronize the queue file and the log. Similarly when you restart the queue manager following a completely clean shutdown then there's no log replay or backout to perform (but you do need to be aware of any indoubt messages). Under these circumstances the queue manager can usually be fooled by replacing one 'clean' queue file with another similar queue file. Personally I'd be tempted to investigate further the performance of using the MQI to backup/restore the contents of the queue rather than building upon undocumented observed behaviour. One option that you should consider using to speed up the process is batching (say 100 messages per syncpoint). I ran a simple test on my NT desktop (2 way 800Mhz) running MQ 5.3 to load a queue with 35000 messages each 4K bytes long. It took 75 seconds when the log was on a fast device (non volatile write cache) and 87 seconds with the log on a standard SCSI device. By contrast putting the messages individually (outside syncpoint took 76 seconds with the fast device and 437 seconds with the slow device. Andy.

This is while running MQSeries 2.2.1 for VAX/VMS. Now, get this!! this same technique worked on MQSeries 5.1 for Windows NT4. Yup, now I also replay 35000 messages through my target application without having to go through the channel. I never would have though this to work, given everything I've read and the opinions of others that all persistent messages are backed in the log files and not in the 'Q' files. I was surprised I did not receive a single response from anyway in IBM saying "You can't do that", or "it doesn't work that way". Thanks for all the responses.

Re: Version Number
In general the default version numbers are set to 1 so that a simple recompile of the app, or a part of the app, should not cause the application behaviour to change or cause the queue manager to refer to fields in the structure which may not be initialized, or even allocated in memory. For example, on the distributed platforms, a message put with a V1 MQMD is not subject to the queue manager checking the validity of the MQ headers in the payload, while a message put with a V2 MQMD is subject to the queue manager checking the validity of the MQ headers in the payload. At V5.0 (when the MQMD V2) was introduced we decided that it was better to discover an invalid header at the point the bad message entered the MQ network, rather than when the data was used, and added this checking. To ensure compatibility we only enabled the checking if the version number was 2, thus ensuring compatibility with all existing apps even if they were recompiled. Andy.

Re: Log files
Lizette, You can change the number of log files after a queue manager has been created, but the log file size is fixed at queue manager creation. While the 2003 could be due to too small a log it is also possible that it is due to a poorly written app. Have you ensured that the application suffering from the 2003 is working as designed, and in particular is calling MQCMIT when it should ?

Re: MQSeries using C++..doubt
On the distributed platforms it is a really bad idea to issue an MQGET with a very big buffer unless you expect to receive a really big message. It is good practice for performance sensitive applications to track the message sizes and dynamically resize the buffer as appropriate. For messages below about 8K this isn't necessary. Andy.

You can also consider creating a buffer that is the same as the maximum message size for the queue - depending on resources of your server using MQINQ to get the maximum message size. The latter is faster since there is less memory management and API calling .

Re: 2059 Intermittent Error
Jeff, Are your apps using the server or the client bindings ? What do you mean by " The queue manager has maximum threads set at 256" ? Using the server bindings there's scope for some contention during high connect rates, but while that might cause some of your connects to slow down it would not cause a 2059. Thanks Andy. Jeffrey Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@AKH-WIEN.AC.AT> on 05/03/2002 03:46:22 PM Please respond to MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by:MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:2059 Intermittent Error Hello, I am getting this strange error and I am hoping that the theory behind it is true. Maybe somebody out here has experienced this. I have an application team running AIX 4.3.3, MQ 5.2. The queue manager has maximum threads set at 256. Fifty instances of a program, all hitting one queue, are fired off at once. At the same time, another program, for each putting, is fired off getting the messages off of the queue. Every now and then, for one of the 50 putting the message on, a 2059 error comes back. That error is Queue Manager Not Available. For example, application instance 32 comes back with the 2059, instance 33, 34, 35 process fine. Instance 36 comes back with a 2059. These instance numbers are examples because there is no pattern to it. If the application only does 40, instead of 50, it works without the 2059. It sounds like there is contention for the queue manager while attempting the MQCONN. The thing that confuses me is that only a maximum of 100 applications are hitting the queue manager at one time. There are no other applications running against this queue manager. Has anybody ever seen anything similar to this before or have I totally confused everyone? Thanks, Jeff Jeffrey D.
