Re: WMQ MIPS usage on idle mainframe

Francois, I can offer a couple of examples. On an R56, in 42 hrs elapsed time, the MSTR used 143 seconds of CPU, and the CHIN used 38 secs. The CHIN probably didn't do anything, but the Command Server would have been active in the MSTR. OK, so it's not strictly idle. On a Y56, again in 42 hrs ela

Re: arrival time of last message

2003-11-17 Thread Richard Crook
Larry, There doesn't seem to be anything useful in the Queue stats. But there is Last-msg date and Last-msg time fields in Display Channelstatus. For a Receiver channel, this is the date/time the last msg was put to its target queue. You might have to monitor several channels, instead of just one

Re: Sender Channel can not re establish connection after an abnormal end to the connection

2003-11-11 Thread Richard Crook
Bill, If the Receiver channel doesn't see the error for some reason, then it can be left in a RUNNING state. And in that case, you'll have problems re-connecting. I can't answer the question of why the connection is dropping, and why the RCVR doesn't see it. But can you set the ADOPTMCA parms in t

Backout Queue name

2003-09-14 Thread Richard Crook
OK Listers, an easy question to start the week. This is on OS/390, although I don't think that matters. When I define a local queue, I can define the BOQNAME (Backout requeue name) and BOTHRESH (Backout Threshold). The FM says that the Qmgr maintains these values, but takes no action based on the

Ernest, 2058 is a Q_MGR_NAME_ERROR. Is your IDMS connection using the defaults module CQSBDEFV to get the Qmgr name? If so, did you update this with the 5.3 install? Just a thought. Richard. earMERC Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@AKH-Wien.AC.AT> on 12/09/2003 08:21:27 Please respond to MQSerie

Re: MVS msg exit (MQPUT) processing causes increase in MSTR region size.

2003-09-02 Thread Richard Crook
Dax, I presume that TEST.EXIT.QUEUE is a local queue in both of the Qmgrs. OK, if you send 1000 msgs in each direction, then the exit will be invoked 2000 times at each end. If I've added it up correctly, each msg that you put to the queue is 1.5K plus header. So 1.8K * 2000 is 3.6Mb - which is

Re: OS/390 system scope

2003-07-09 Thread Richard Crook
Edward, This shouldn't be a problem. Our system is defined like this, and we use it to move the Qmgr round MVS images as we IPL the various systems. The only other thing we do is to move the VTAM ACB (because we use APPC for some of the channels), but that shouldn't prevent the Qmgr from starting.

Pablo, Yes, this is normal behaviour. The manual (can't remember which one at the moment) says that expired messages count towards the queue depth, even though you can't read them any more. Queue depth will go to 0 then the messages are deleted from the queue - this happens when the first non-brow
