Re: QMGR names when using MQSI
One issue that is worth considering is uniqueness of message identifiers. I remember hearing (somebody from IBM correct me here if it is otherwise!) that the message identifier is generated using the queue manager name, time and date. If this is an issue, it follows that it is necessary to have unique queue manager names in a mq network. Also, it is relatively straightforward for a script to get the queue manager names on a host. I have developed a saveqmgr script for a client that will invoke saveqmgr for the queue managers on a specific host.

Re: JMS subscribers
Stu, Reason 2033 is "MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE". In other words, there is no message on the queue. For more information on MQ reason codes, have a look at chapter 8 of the following manual: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/html/amqzao04/amqzao04tfrm.htm Regards, Tim Crossland http://www.solent-consultancy.com Stu Barrett cc: Sent by: MQSeriesSubject: JMS subscribers List November 13, 2002 01:49 Please respond to MQSeries List Thanks James for the response. I feel silly for not reading the "welcome" notice that explained the acknowledgment protocol. But I got that working to fit my needs now. I'm not that experienced in low level MQ stuff (JMS hides that), but I do have the Windows MMC plugin that I can use to monitor a queue manager and it's queues. I can use the MQ commands via runmqsc. Still, I'm not sure how JMS subscriptions (non-durable) are actually implemented within MQ. FYI, I'm using sync receivers, no SQL selectors. The only exception I get is when I attempt to close the subscription after its deemed to be broken: com.ibm.mq.MQException: Completion Code 2, Reason 2033 javax.jms.JMSException: MQJMS3013: Failed to store admin. entry at com.ibm.mq.jms.services.ConfigEnvironment.newException(ConfigEnvironment.java:418) at com.ibm.mq.jms.MQSubAdmin.removeND(MQSubAdmin.java:1045) at com.ibm.mq.jms.MQTopicSubscriber.close(MQTopicSubscriber.java:452) Any hints on how to "lift the MQ hood" and see what is happening with the JMS subscriptions?

Your posts are gettng out fine, but I guess none of us have much idea what might be going wrong. We need to identify something that indicates why the subscribers stop receiving messages - anything in the MQ logs, or any exceptions raised? Are you using synchronous or asynchronous receivers? If it's asynchronous have you registered an ExceptionListener? Are you using SQL selectors on the subscriptions? Cheers, James.

WMQI 2.1 and New Era of Networks product code
I have installed WebSphere MQ Integrator at a client site, with the broker running on Solaris. Message flows work fine, as long as they do not include any NEON nodes. The "WebSphere MQ Integrator Deployment and Migration" redbook states that "You need to install the New Era Of Networks code before installing the WebSphere MQ Integrator product itself. Otherwise, you cannot select the New Era Of Networks integration package that is part of the WebSphere MQ Integrator product." Having issued pkgadd from the NNSY/nnsy directory first, the options available on the pkgadd from the wmqi directory include the "WMQI NNSY Interface". Is this the same as the New Era of Networks integration package or is there soemthing else that needs to be done to make this option available? The software version is WMQI 2.1. CSD 3 was applied to NNSY and WMQI after this step. The message flows can be deployed with a Neon node. However, a core dump is produced whenever a message is passed through the flow (with very little extra information). Has anybody experienced this?

file systems
One of the system administrators at my client has insisted that there is not a requirement for separate file systems for MQ and MQ Integrator. We are now suffering performance problems. I have been unable to find any documentation that specifies that the performance problems may be caused by using one shared filesystem on a Solaris server. Also, as this is a development machine, there is only one physical disk. Can anybody point me to any evidence that using multiple filesystems will improve performance?
