Hi all,

I know the general concept of linear/circular & adv's/disadv's etc. of each.

I'm trying to calculate the amount of logging space required. I know there is information in the Sys admin guide and a good page on mqseries.net where someone has done something similar, which is exellent reference for me.

The thing i'm not precisely sure about is when/where the logging of msgs take place when using linear or circular. Couple of scenario's:

1 - QM1 (MQ Server) to QM2 (MQ Server). App on QM1 puts to a cluster queue which physically exists on the QM2.

2 - MQ Client (on a PC) does a remote put to an MQ Server via a Gateway Queue Manager. e.g. Client Connects to Gateway QM, but Puts to Remote MQ Server QM and Queue.

I suspect, the messages are logged several times when taking into account of xmit queues, etc. but am not 100% sure.

Thanks,
Dharmesh

Persistent messages are logged at mqget and mqput before the message is actually put/get from the queue.

So, it is very likely that a persistent message will get logged multiple times in its lifetime.

Program A puts a message to a local queue - it is logged. Program B gets this message from the queue - it is logged again.

Program C puts a message to an xmit queue (by opening a QR definition) - the message is logged. The sending MCA mqgets the message from the xmit queue - it is logged again. The receiving MCA mqputs the message to the destination queue (or dead letter queue) - it is logged again. If the message multi-hops qmgrs - same thing.

There is no difference in this behavior between circular and linear logs.

Bruce,

Thanks for your response. Your 3rd scenario (Program 3) is very useful as this is what I wanted to know when crossing qmgrs.

Does the same rules apply to messaging when using MQ clustering? I'm thinking it is!

Thanks,
Dharmesh
