It's mostly a bandwidth problem. The purpose of all this is to write the BLOB to an EMC Centera box, which is a network attached storage device. It's got massive capacity, but it's not especially fast. But the real problem is that the Solaris machine is bandwidth constrained. It's getting gigs of d

Ok getting the picture. What is slow about the processing on the Solaris end? Are you compressing the data before storing it? Problems storing it in a DB? Are you hitting a CPU limit? An I/O subsystem limit? Does running multiple processes against the queue help? Regards Tim A

Sorry had my blinkers on. As others have said one solution is to send a STOP message, I have done this using a different MsgType but the MQFB_QUIT is probably more valid. Arjan's idea of get disabling the queue is possible if you are prepared to permit +set access to clients and issue an MQSET API

Well, the issue is that we need to get this data off of the mainframe ASAP. It's using up space in DB2 and using up tapes that we need (apparently there's a wroldwide shortage of tapes!).
