Re: MAXHANDS Attribute on the QMGR

2004-11-22 Thread Lawrence Coombs
On Friday we received a max channels error message. Instead of changing the
qm.ini file and adding the CHANNELS stanza with the
MaxChannels/MaxActiveChannels (we were using the default), the MQ admin
simply increased the MAXHANDS attribute of the queue manager.

This did resolve the problem. However, I am bit puzzled because while I can
understand making more handles available to a queue manager might allow
more Client channels to be started, why would MQ ignore the limits in the
qm.ini file? Furthermore I thought MAXHANDS only applied to a single
process.

Any thoughts?

PS: The version of MQ is old, 5.x (where x is less than 2).

AMQ9513: Maximum number of channels reached.

EXPLANATION:
The maximum number of channels that can be in use simultaneously has been
reached. The number of permitted channels is a configurable parameter in
the
queue manager configuration file.
ACTION:
Wait for some of the operating channels to close. Retry the operation when
some
channels are available.

Re: DefaultQBufferSize and DefaultQFileSize

2004-11-15 Thread Lawrence Coombs
Does any know if these parameters are valid for MQ 5.3? If I specify
DefaultQBufferSize, do I need to specify a value for DefaultQFileSize ?

With a very high throughput of persistent messages (200 msg /sec), does
anyone have a checklist of things to tweak for a queue manager?

Re: MQJMS2007 Message

Can anyone shed any light on the following scenario:

We are doing a stress test with a JMS application and are getting a strange
error message without any stack trace. The program works with a message
length of 10,000 bytes but when we increase the message length to 315,000
we get this MQJMS2007 error message after putting 7 JMS messages to a
destination.

Has anyone seen this before?

Re: MQ Clustering Question

2004-10-18 Thread Lawrence Coombs
At the 'Application' level  means the server in my scenario. What I am
trying to achieve is this:

If a back-end service running on a server is knocked out of the rotation
(even though MQ might be OK), I want to:

1. Not send anymore messages to that instance (from the client)
2. Move the "stuck" message on that instance to another instance that is
being serviced.

I cannot afford for messages to get stuck for any period of time.

PS: If a cluster queue is set to PUT(INHIBITED), on the server, will the
WLM exit that IBM supplies recognize it when the client does the MQPUT
(assume DEFBIND is NOT-FIXED)? Or, will the message travel down the channel
to the cluster queue instance that was chosen, then the MCA will detect it
when it tries to put the message to the chosen cluster queue? I know it
will reroute it to another instance of the cluster queue, if one exist.

Re: MQ Clustering Question

2004-10-15 Thread Lawrence Coombs
Thanks for answers to my prior question, especially Paul Clarke from IBM. I
will definitely test out your suggestion

Background
In a cluster I can have cluster queues with the same name on multiple
cluster queue managers. I need a way (at the application level) to NOT send
messages to a specific cluster queue if the application servicing that
instance dies/stops running etc. I don't want to write an exit.

Question:
 Has anyone developed an elegant solution to this problem and would care to
share it, on-line or off-line? My application cannot tolerate "stuck"
messages.

Re: Trigger a Shell Script that starts a Java Program

2004-07-02 Thread Lawrence Coombs
I did some more testing and the queue in question is an error queue that
can be written to by several applications.  I tested a scenario whereby I
used MQExplorer to put one message to the queue to trigger the script, then
ran the other applications to generate additional error messages. In this
scenario, only one instance of the Java program was sever started
(IPPROCS=1).

However, whenever triggering occurs because of error messages being
generated by the applications themselves, multiple instances of the Java
program gets triggered (IPPROCS > 1). This happens consistently.

Re: Trigger a Shell Script that starts a Java Program

2004-07-02 Thread Lawrence Coombs
We are running MQ 5.3 with CSD 6 on AIX. We have a scenario whereby we
trigger a shell script  then runs a Java program. The Java program has a
wait interval of 1000 milliseconds and polls 50 times when the queue
becomes empty (don't know why).

If you put one message at a time on the queue, the started Java process
will process all messages.

However, if you were to put 60 (this is just an arbitrary number we are
using at this time to recreate the problem), multiple Java processes are
triggered off (the number is arbitrary). I have the TRIGINT set to 6
Milliseconds. This seems odd. I thought that if a queue had at least one
process (Java or otherwise) that had it open for input, MQ would not
generate another trigger message.

Can anyone shed some light on what I am seeing?

  Please respond to

I do not know JMS but our developers are trying to use the ReplyToQueue
and ReplyToQueueManager feature.

I can explain how it is supposed to work using the procedural terminology.
The program does a MQOpen using the reply to queue and queue manager
and MQSeries figures out it need to open and generate messages to a
transmission queue with the same name as the ReplyToQueueManager.

The problem is they are having problems translating that into object based
JMS. They are calling some Sender method passing Destination or
something.

Any information on how JMS handles reply messages?

Re: AMQ7467 & 8 every 30 min

2003-09-12 Thread Lawrence Coombs
Part of the MQ logging algorithm is to take a checkpoint every 30 minutes,
every 10,000 writes to the log file etc. So even if a queue manager is
idle, I assume that a checkpoint would be taken every 30 minutes after the
last checkpoint.
