Re: MQ 5.3 CSD05 is now available

2003-10-26 Thread Kenneth M Viney
Can anyone tell me whether CSD08 for v5.2 will be created?  I am trying to formulate a proposal to our client for upgrading to v5.3 with the latest CSD (now CSD05) and if it appears that CSD08 for v5.2 will not be created then I will have a foolproof argument for upgrading.  Would appreciate comme

Seeking advice/comments on upgrading from v5.2 to v5.3

2003-09-04 Thread Kenneth M Viney
Hi all Currently my site is using MQSeries v5.2 on both a distributed ( Windows NT) and MVS Mainframe.  With the LAN side of things we have not implemented any CSDs associated with v5.2 due to all sorts of reasons - including the fact that there never seemed to be a window of opportunity to inter

We've been trialling BPI at our site and it does all the things that we require with a minimum of fuss and easy to use.  And one added bonus is that it doesn't have that extra functionality that no-one ever uses but some commercial tools seem to add in an attempt to impress.  Try this one ... it's

Re: How Often Do You Reboot?

2003-07-01 Thread Kenneth M Viney
We like to try and reboot our servers on a fairly regular basis mainly to maximise clearing of dirty bits of memory that somehow always seem to hang around even if applications are closed cleanly.  Most of our servers would get booted weekly (at weekends outside of normal business hours for us).

We recently did an upgrade to 5.2 and it went as smooth as a baby's bottom.  A little careful planning and having thoroughly tested your implementation plan on a Dev environment as Tim suggests and you should experience no problems. Ken Tim Armstrong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: MQSeries L

Tejinder  Good luck with the exam.  The trial questions will give you a bit of a hint about what to expect in the real exam.  Unfortunately IBM doesn't offer much else in the way of preparation.  A bit of a lack of customer support if you ask me.  Oh ... be warned ... hopefully when you sit t

Re: Backing up a running Queue Manager

2002-10-31 Thread Kenneth M Viney
I agree with Philip.  I cannot see why you'd want to back up the Queue Managers whilst they were active as that might cause all sorts of problems with sync points and database updates 'ad infinitum'.  I would have thought a database backup would have been much more useful for such occasions as Dis

Question regarding implementing CSD05 for v5.2 on Client and Server

2002-10-22 Thread Kenneth M Viney
Hi all Probably a dumb question I know but here goes At our site we are running version 5.2 on a Windows NT environment but currently without any of the CSDs implemented at all.  We've decided it is now time to join the 21st century and implement the latest CSD - ie CSD05.  But I was wonder

Cost me a heap more than US$40 to sit the exam in Australia.  Be aware though that the advertised pass mark is not the same as what they finally grade you at.  I have had an on-going battle with IBM over this point.  Things are not as they may seem! Ken Amit Gupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent

Hi Tim "Moving" an existing Queue Manager to another location shouldn't be too heartbreaking with just a little care and forethought.  But I think your safest and best bet would be to keep the existing QM where it is for the moment.  Creating a duplicate QM at another location from a text config
