Hi..
To know, how many connections client applications/interfaces have on mq queue manager, I have put the command ( on server where the qmgr is running )
netstat -an | grep 1414
and this gives the O/P under following head..
| Code: |
| tcp 0 0 *.1414 *.* LISTEN |
| Code: |
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 b.b.b.b.27160 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1652 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1653 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1654 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1655 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1661 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1662 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1674 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1675 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1677 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1678 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1682 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1692 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 a.a.a.a.1693 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 c.c.c.c.56401 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 a.b.c.d.1414 d.d.d.d.39652 ESTABLISHED |
where a.b.c.d is the IP.1414 on which qmgr listens. Connection count is 16.
And now they want me to also find out 'how much they are using memory' and for how long they are connected to the qmgr !!
How can I get that details ?

Good Question, hmm... it starts with Server, CPU and Memory Cost about which Management is concerned., applications say that they are holding the persistent connections ( in terms of network) and they have tcp alive on network.
They wanted to know how many connections an application is holding over a queue manager and for how long !! and in-turn they wanted to know How much they are consuming the Memory & CPU by doing that !!
They were facing issues like 'out of resource' and now they are building a new server so they wanted to bring up this fact too.
so thats why I wanted to know 'Memory Consumption' here.

1. So how many applications connect?
2. How many threads each do they spawn?
3. How are they limited from overwhelming the queue manager?
And just because when you checked you had 16 does not necessarily mean that it is only ever 16, just that it was that many at the time of checking. Enlist the aid of your Sys Admins because to get the information management seeks, you may have to go down quite deep.

= They are not up all the times so didn't get the snap of all those appls. ( shown 3 appl. IPs at that time a.a.a.a, b.b.b.b, c.c.c.c)

I understand this.
My concern is, if I can find out the Memory consumed for One thread then I can multiply that amount of memory/Size/Bits/Bytes/Blocks/Pages with 'No. of threads' , which would give me the total consumed memory !!!!

Which will count for what? So you build a new box, with a bit of extra capacity just-in-case, and then what happens when another n applications are added to the pool? You'd do better to load-balance your clients over a number of servers if resource is an issue.

Total memory consumed (at a point of time) = [ No. of Threads of connection X memory consumed in Bytes per connection ]
where 'X' = multiplication
Stats on the old server can help them while building the new server !

True, I have suggested them that too.

And just to put my mind at rest...
What is the settings of MaxChannels / MaxActiveChannels on the qmgr in question?
Out of resource may not necessarily mean the box... it might just mean out of configured resources

Under Channel stanza , its not mentioned at all.
Even I suggested them that, under ulimit -a 'Data and Stack segments' are not set as unlimited on the old server. They ignored it. Whereas its the prereq of mq before installation. These servers are new to me and do not know who did the setup on it.

Yes, absolutely true. But instead of analyzing the server they heading towards the new server. they are simply stupid.

There is nothing simple about stupidity - some people work very hard at it, and make a full career of it!

That would mean that the default limit is 100 concurrent active channels. This may be way too low for your needs. We have some qmgrs that have 2,000 set as a limit...

I agree with you both !
The thing is, when I asked the management why you are going to build the new server with new storage capacity then they just said "we had problem in the old server of 'out of resource' " , I don't know ..It could be because of anything not just because of MQ and that I'm proactively working on to search out what could be the cause !!
anyways... do we have answer for this ?
Total memory consumed (at a point of time) = [ No. of Threads of connection X memory consumed in Bytes per connection ]
where 'X' = multiplication

AFAIK functions do not occupy space/memory but the variables/arguments do (depending on the nature of that variable, is static/global/local).
as far as I understand..by looking at the following link of MQCONN().
| Code: |
| http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tpfhelp/current/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ztpf-ztpfdf.doc_put.cur/gtpc2/cpp_mqconn.html |
"If the completion code is MQCC_OK, the reason code is MQRC_NONE, which indicates a normal return."
AND
"pHconn : A pointer to the location to store the connection handle, which represents the connection to the MQSeries queue manager. You must specify the connection handle on all subsequent message queueing calls issued by the application."
It depends whats the size of those Pointers.
"MQHCONN - Connection handle : The MQHCONN data type represents a connection handle, that is, the connection to a particular queue manager. A connection handle must be aligned on a 4-byte boundary. (I believe its signed integer)"
"MQLONG - Long integer : The MQLONG data type is a 32-bit signed binary integer that can take any value in the range -2 147 483 648 through +2 147 483 647". An MQLONG must be aligned on a 4-byte boundary.
and we got from this, 4Bytes for MQCC, MQRC, HConn each, would give 12 Bytes of memory usage for a Connection. (excluding the name of the 'Qmgr' in a Character Array : 'n' characters = 'n' bytes)
i.e. 12Bytes + 'n' Bytes of CharArray of Qmgr Name

how's this
1. stop your queue mgr
2. take stock of you memory now.
3. start your queue mgr
4. repeat step 2
5. start your client apps to get your client conns
6. repeat step 2
diff between step 6 and 4 would be your mem usage divided by the number of conns. This works? |
