Hi all,
I am very much new to this field.I m working on a project which involves workload balancing.
Please find time to go through the details below and suggest me acordingly:-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iam working on [b]WMQ V5.3[/b] under the platform [b]Z/OS V1.6[/b].

Requiement:
I have a local queue whose remote queue resides on UNIX Box which would receive message from front-end online applications.
After messages reach the Mainframe local queue,which is a trigger first queue - will trigger a transaction.
Now the exact scenario is as the frequency of messages coming from front end is very high,I thought of having two draining procesess.
But I need Trigger First only-So what I m planning to do is to define the same transaction in two different CICS regions -both of these cics regions would be connected to the same M/F Queue Manager.

Let us say as queue name : XXXX.XXXX
QMGR name: MQD1
Initiation Queue : MQD1.XXXX.INITQ
CICS Regions : CICSTSD1
CICSTSD2
Process Name : XXXX.TRAN
(Note that the TRAN is the transaction name - PCT's of both regions have this transaction defined)
(I will add the initiation queue MQD1.XXXX.INITQ to the trigger monitor CKTI of both CICS regions)

So the scenario would be both CKTI's would be monitoring the same Initiation queue & compete for the same-whichever succeds will trigger the TRAN in the corresponding region.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So when one cicsregion is down it can execute through other region.This is my plan.

Please advise whether it will work

Expecting many replies from experts
