Hi,
FYI, in our work environment (Test and Prod), we have 1 QMgr and 1 Broker setup in each of the two AIX servers.
Both, the Config Manager CMGR00 and the Message Broker are using the
same MQ Queue Manager in each server.
AIX- V5.3
Data Power- 3.7.3.4
WMB- V6.1.0.9
WMQ- V6.0.2.5
Now DataPower machines A & B send requests to both the MQ QMgrs which the Broker picks up and processes. Above the DP is the Load Balancer which distributes the traffic to each of the two DP servers.
There is also the log4j application hosted in WebSphere Portal server that communicates with WMQ. So log4j, DP & WMB communicate with MQ.
Issues of concern:
1) Now the existing version of DP will not support MQ 7 if migrated. (I am not familiar with DP concepts.) I see that DP 3.8.0 will support some of MQ v7 features although Multi-Instance (HA) is not supported. I also read that MI is a better option compared to HA/CMP. Can I get any suggestions regarding the compatibility of the DP version when I migrate MQ and MB to V7? Is there a higher version of DP that we can get it upgraded to?
2) And it seems that the configuration file of log4j always points to only one of the MQ Qmgrs (hard-coded within) which raises concern. So there is always a single point of failure (which is the case as of today). Is there a way to configure this portal application so that it can point to more than just one QMgr for sending transactions/requests?
P.S.: Ours is a simple setup of MQ/MB; there are no pub-sub or SSL/security yet done. So migration should be a rather simpler task.
Thanks a lot. Regards.

Hi,
In case it's of any help, I have provided below the configuration file for the Log4J application:
/>more /usr/WebSphere/PortalServer/installedApps/ESPPRegistrationXXXXX.ear/ESPPRegistrationXXXX.war/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties
# Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to A1.
#log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A1
# A1 is set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
# A1 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.logger.IdentityManagementAuditSrc=DEBUG, A1, MQAdutingAppender
log4j.appender.MQAdutingAppender=XXXXXX.system.logging.MQAppender
log4j.appender.MQAdutingAppender.channel=SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN
log4j.appender.MQAdutingAppender.queueManager=GSBBUSP01
log4j.appender.MQAdutingAppender.queueName=XXXX.MAIN.QUEUE.LOCAL
log4j.appender.MQAdutingAppender.hostname=<hostname of GSBBUSP01>
log4j.appender.MQAdutingAppender.portNum=1414
