Trainee · Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 6:48 am Post subject:

Hi ,

Every time we need we stop Queue Managers with -i (immediate) option in our organization.Later IBM suggested that without -i is good and we try to do it on production while doing migration.

In one incident While stopping the queue manager associated with Broker without -i option it took nearerly 15 minutes and still Quiescing(Offcourese I stopped the Broker already).So then I killed the processes associted with the queue manager and it got ended abnoramally. Does this really harm the queue manager. This queue manager is in cluster also and complined about the cluster sender channel stopped abnormally.

We have 'q' program to move the messages from one Queue to Other Queue on the same queue manager and it is beaing called every15 minutes(crontab entry).

My questions are

1) Stopping the queue manger by killing the processes running againest to it leads any problem.Is there any process which should not kill at all something like that

2) As we have 'q' program to move the messages ..Do I need to stop that q program before stopping the queue manager?

3) Abnormal shout down indicates some thing wrong with the queue manager?
4) Do I need to Suspend the Queue Manager from the cluster as it complined ClusterSender channel got stopped abnormally when I try to stop it..?Queue Manager in cluster will take more time to get it stopped
5) What will happen to the messages in the message flows when I stop the Broker and then Stop the Queue Manager with -i option

Please advice...through some light on it

Thank you
