MA88 V5.2 compatibility with applications built based on JDK 1.1.8 and JDK 1.2.x

2003-02-06 Thread Daniel G. Jones
I am in the process of upgrading some v5.1 machines running the MA88 V5.1
extension to MQSeries V5.2, including the MA88 extension.  Our current
application environment includes applications that were built based on code
generated using older versions of the SDK.  Releases mentioned by the
applications groups include IBM JDK 1.1.8 and Java 1.2.x.  It appears,
according to the documentation that the current MA88 extension requires the
1.3.1 versions of the IBM and Sun SDKs.
Products mentioned that are in use are: WebLogic, Corba, and VisiBroker.

Questions
* Will installing the new JDK per the requirements cause any issues with
the applications?
* Will the applications built based on the older JDKs need to be recreated
or modified in any way to run on the new MA88 product?
* Any other issues that I have not mentioned that I need to consider?


Thanks in advance,

Dan Jones

MQSeries in highly available and fault tolerant/failover environments

2003-01-16 Thread Daniel G. Jones
We are currently working on a project that calls for setting up MQSeries
in, if not a highly available environment, one that is fault tolerant and
provides for failover capabilities.  While I don't believe they are using
such products as AIX HACMP or the Sun equivalent for Solaris, they are
using something called BigIP in an attempt to provide some level of
failover.

In was my plan to use [MQSeries] clustering to provide some basic function
of 'high' availability, however, I don't know how that will behave in some
of these failover environments.

Questions
+ Any experience in using MQSeries in 'high availability' environments?
+ Aware of any documentation [i.e. white papers, redbooks, product manuals,
etc] that could provide me with some useful guidance in providing MQSeries
   'high availability'?



Thanks in advance,

Application using MQ Java/JMS MA88 and PubSub MA0C

2002-12-18 Thread Daniel G. Jones
Background
We have an application group that is trying to build an MQSeries
Publish/Subscribe application, using JMS as the front-end.
Publish/Subscribe is something new for our company and I [MQSeries
support/administration technician] am unfamiliar[though learning] with the
whole Java/JMS interface.
The application program [attached below] is, I'm being told, basically an
IBM sample program.  The developer is right now just trying to get
something to work, which has been a struggle.
Her ultimate goal is to [Java/JMS defines attached below]:
+ using normal queue connection factories and queue definitions, put a
message on a queue [which is
   working];
+ using topic connnection factories and topic definitions, publish the
contents of that message [which
   seems to be working];
+ using topic connnection factories and topic definitions, subscribe to
that and retrieve that message
   [which does not appear to be working].

Environment
+ Solaris machine running the user [JMS] application and the following
software:
   - MQ Client 5.2.05
   - MQ MA88 5.2.05
+ Solaris machine set up with an MQSeries QManager and the MQ MA0C PubSub
Support Pack
   - MQ Server 5.1.07 [Understanding this is an unsupported product -
Upgrade scheduled]
   - MQ MA0C [July 2002]

Current Issue
In reviewing some queues that were previously defined and some that appear
to have been dynamically created, it appears that the Publish has completed
successfully.  However, in reviewing the SYSTEM.JMS.REPORT.QUEUE, I found a
message that indicates the 'RegSub' function is failing [see attached file
for sample] with, MSPSComp=2, MQPSReason=3076, and MQPSerrorid=2085.  The
queue it appears to be unable to find is; SYSTEM.JMS.ND.2002121619391544.
Though that queue does not exist, there are others similarly name;
SYSTEM.JMS.ND.2002 .

Any input on what I am missing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance

Re: Problem with MQSeries Bridge running on CICS TS Version 1.3.0 and interfacing with MQSeries 5.2

2002-05-10 Thread Daniel G. Jones

Stefan,

Thanks for the information.  Changing the 'data' queue to be shareable
seems to have resolved the issue.  It appears that I was confused by the
context of the message CSQC711E.  I had been looking through the manual for
something to verify that I was looking at the right queue.  I interpreted
the ...711E message to mean that the bridge queue was specified in the 'Q='
parameter of the CKBR startup [what I believed to be the CSCQPARM values at
CICS startup]; which it would seem points to what is known as the 'init'
queue.

Thanks again for your help,


Dan Jones

Daniel,
you are talking about your INITQ, which is probably not the queue that the
message "CSQC755E CKBR 0018720 Bridge queue is not shareable, queue must be
defined with  the SHARE option" is referring to.
I don't know much about the CICS bridge but isn't this message referring to
the bridge request queue (what you call the data queue), not the initiation
queue the trigger monitor transaction CKTI is running against?
Just guessing,
Stefan

Problem with MQSeries Bridge running on CICS TS Version 1.3.0 and interfacing with MQSeries 5.2

2002-05-09 Thread Daniel G. Jones

Problem:

A preexisting InitQ was in place and functional with a previous
application.  It was defined with the following share options:
Permit shared access  . . . :  N Y=Yes,N=No
Default share option  . . . :  E E=Exclusive,S=Shared.

 Another group wanted to use the same CICS region, so when I defined the
new data queue, I directed it to the same InitQ and process already in use.
When data was placed on the new data queue, we got the following error
messages in the CICS msgusr DD:
CSQC700I CKBR 0018720 IBM MQSeries for OS/390 V5.2 - CICS bridge.
Copyright(c) 1997,2000 IBM. All rights reserved
CSQC725I CKBR 0018720 Messages on bridge queue are not persistent by
default
CSQC726I CKBR 0018720 Bridge queue backout count not hardened
CSQC727I CKBR 0018720 Bridge queue defined with MSGDLVSQ(PRIORITY) but
should be FIFO for efficiency
CSQC755E CKBR 0018720 Bridge queue is not shareable, queue must be defined
with  the SHARE option

We then tried setting up an additional InitQ in CICS via the CICS panels
and the CKTI transaction.  I defined that queue to MQSeries and changed the
data queue to point to the new InitQ.  This queue by the way was defined
as:
Permit shared access  . . . :  Y Y=Yes,N=No
Default share option  . . . :  S E=Exclusive,S=Shared.

I still got the same CSQC messages shown above

In accordance with the messages manual, I changed the InitQ [same one
defined in the IQ= parm in CICS] that I had directed the data queue at to:
Permit shared access  . . . :  Y Y=Yes,N=No
Default share option  . . . :  S E=Exclusive,S=Shared.

The CICS region was then recycled.

Still go the same error messages.

The QMgr was then recycled.

Still getting the same messages.

Any ideas on what I'm missing??
