Over the weekend, we ran the mqarchive process while MQ was processing 1000's of messages through several local queues (one queue is "stuck" at 460,000 messages). First, the admin noticed the command server was down after trying to connect using MQ Explorer. After that, it's been nothing but hiccups. The business insisted in driving over 1 million messages to populate a database. Everything ran ok until the MQ logs filled up the disk. Fortunately, the MQA could run archiving before the queue manager went down. Any thoughts on why this error is happening? The applications that read from the queues are getting intermittent 2009 (broken connection) errors. I think this is related to the high volume of messages.

environment: Running MQ v5.2 csd 04 on Windows 2000 server

No idea on why this happening, but I'd strongly suggest moving forward. There have been numerous performance related fixes and the entire memory manager was rewritten between 5.2 and 5.3.

Here's how I worked around this problem...I stopped the apps that were putting and getting messages from the queue that contains 400,000+ messages. After that, the 2009 "broken connection" errors ceased and I could use MQExplorer to check stats.

Aside from upgrading to v5.3, IBM support stated that high volumes will be a problem. Is this true even in 5.3? If so, then is it just a matter of modifying the "putting" apps to control volume...maybe, max out at 50,000 messages per execution. The app wasn't designed with high volume processing in mind. Any thoughts?

You could also consider, having multiple instances of the same queue in a MQ cluster and distribute the load that way?!
