Re: MQSeries in highly available and fault tolerant/failover envi ronments

high availability seems more of an infrastructure exercise to me. You mention HACMP, HP ServiceGuard, MSCS also fall into these categories, and the how to's of MQ config in these enviroments is generally available as a support pack at http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/txpm4.html .

Have you tried command line commands (amqsput) to put the remote queue?  If the environment works at that level and your message shows up on the other end, your JNDI implementation should work.  I'd eliminate this layer and start moving up to higher levels (context, syntax, etc.).  Are you throw

There is no problem that I've seen running WMQ and Weblogic together. We have MQ 5.2 and WL6.1 running in an weblogic cluster. Weblogic supports services which use JMS, and MQ as the underlying provider. Everything is vanilla JMS, no MQ implementation of anything, just straight spec. We've had

Keep in mind if you don't have the required version, you can still break apart messages and send to MVS. It would be an app-specific algorithm, but between get-by-correl id and knowing how many messages made up the unit of work, it's not too difficult to code yourself. Also could use AMI send / r

I agree. You can go a long way in reusing code, reducing support, speeding time to change, reducing errors, etc. by putting some thought into this. That's not to say that the detailed knowledge shouldn't be shared, but there's a risk in proliferating code that basically does the same thing w/ slig
