MQMF_SEGMENTATION_ALLOWED Field

2004-08-06 Thread June Lawton
We believe that the aforementioned field's flag is on.  We would like for
it not to be on as we ahve a large message being split up when we don't
want it to be.  We have already increased our channels,
SYSTEM.CLUSTER.TRANSMIT QUEUE and the specific message, sizes to accomodate
the message size, burt it is still  being segmented.

I know this field is in the message descriptor. I am being told that the
information is being obtained from the queue manager. But, I do not agree
as I do not see anything to do with segmentation on the create QMGR
attributes. Is the app providing this info?

Message Length and Channel Sizes.

2004-07-29 Thread June Lawton
Currently out channel sizes are 10 MB. Most of our message lengths are 4 MB
with a few that we had to increase to 10, thus the channel size.
 We have started receiving data from a vendor that will require us to up
the message length of some of our  messages to 15MB. Thus we want to chnge
our channel sizes to 15MB.  Does anyone see any ramifications from this
increase? I feel it is a relatively small jump. Our MQ environment
currently consists of NT and Z/OS.  It is relatively small  --  6 test and
6 prod servers.

Also, I was curious about, not that I was going to make this change, but
curoioius about the 100MB message size limit. How does the mainframe
handle this with it's VSAM limitaion? Does it segment?   Thanks?

WaitInterval on CICS Bridge Process

2004-07-27 Thread June Lawton
For our MQ/CICS  Bridge Process on Z/OS, I  need to modify the Waitinterval
parameter. Following is the script:

 DEFINE PROCESS('CICSTSC3.BRIDGE.PROCESS') REPLACE +
   DESCR('CICS BRIDGE MONITOR') +
   APPLICID('CKBR') +
   APPLTYPE(CICS) +
   USERDATA('AUTH=VERIFY_UOW,WAIT=nnn)

We originally had the waitinterval at 20 milliseconds, but we were
constantly receiving  :

Transaction CKBP not started within monitor wait interval.

It was suggested   that I set the wait interval to -1 for unlimited wait.
The thing is I cannot find in any of the books, specific examples for the
wait  parm.  I woulf like to see where it says -1 is unlimited (as opposed
to 0). I finde references to USERDATA, like its length, etc. but not what
my options are to put in there. For the AUTH parm, I found specific doc in
the Systems Admin Guide.

Can anyone verify for me that -1 is for unlimited wait?   Thank you!

Mysterious Issuance of Display Indoubt Threads

2004-05-14 Thread June Lawton
Question conning MQSeries 5.3. on the mainframe. We have a 'twi-light zone'
situation!  When the MSTR address space is brought up we issue some
commands, in particular, to display indoubt threads.  I know certain
commands like the ARCHIVE LOG command also has the display indoubt threads
embedded in it.

When I browse the MSTR address space during the day I see that the display
indoubt threads command is somehow being issued automatically. No one is
issuing this!  What could be causing it to happen. Could some kind of
condition be kicking it off?

OS/390 JCLPUT

2003-08-14 Thread June Lawton
Several months ago I attended a MQ OS/390 Sysadmin class where in one of
the exercises there was JCL to launch a batch program to put messages on a
queue. Does anybody have a sample of this or something similar?

Thanks!

MQ/CICS Bridge on Mainframe.

2003-06-17 Thread June Lawton
Just finished installing the MQ adapter in CICS on our mainframe. I am
currently working on the MQ bridge in CICS now.  Does anyone have any
experience with the bridge? Specifically,  any user exit customization?
Also, some of our legacy CICS regions have not been converted to LE.
Do any of the MQ/ CICS programs require LE?  The System Set Up Guide
specifies to have the LE libraries in the CICS regions and we cannot do
this yet with some regions.

Thanks!

MQ/CICS and LU6.2

2003-06-11 Thread June Lawton
Can someone give me the steps for the following?

On the OS/390 I want to set up an LU6.2 connection between the queue
manager and one of our CICS regions. I am reading the Intercomminication
and
System Setup Guide, but I am getting a little confused.

I am assuming that I have to define an applid for the channel initiator in
SYS1.VTAMLST  in addition to a conn/sess in CICS. Is this correct?

Thank you! And now, any opinion on the CICS Transaction Gateway? This
application flow starts out on the NT, comes up thru a gateway, runs in a
DB2 stored procedure, EXCI's to CICS.

Re: MQSERIES AND CICS

2003-06-10 Thread June Lawton
I was  thinking more along the lines of functionality, additional coding
requirements, DPL, etc.  For our proof of concept project we want to
replace an application that currently accesses CICS via an EXCI from a DB2
stored procedure.  Currently this request goes directly into an AOR.
However, with our future apps, we may want them to be 3270 initiated via
the TOR.

I guess what I am asking under what will one give you that the other
doesn't? Basically we want to get tinto CICS and just run the existing
programs.

MQ and MQSI on the Mainframe

We are just in the beginning stages of planning to implement MQ in our
environment.  This environment will consist of the OS/390 MF and NT.  The
powers that be have decided to implement the MQ base and MQSI on the
mainframe platform.

I am trying to investigate any performance issues this will provide on the
mainframe. I have downloaded the support pac for Capacity Planning and
Tuning, but I would like to know of any 'real world' experiences that any
of you have encountered.

Thanks!!!!

SYNCH/ASYCN Processing
