All,

We have a 3 tier architecture, where program from the IMS puts to a queue, broker sends to the java app on the AIX platform and send a response back.

When we are running the IMS pgm in single thread we are getting good response times. But when we send in multi thread (using multiple IMS regions) the response time is horrible. When we run single thread, we get an average 300 ms response time and with multiple (10 message region) it is well over one second.

The IMS program after putting the message in to the request queue, listens to the response queue with a timeout period set to 3 seconds. Is there any limit to the number of pgms concurrently listening to a queue? Is it possible for all the 10 programs to actively wait for a get on the response queue? We have alredy noticed lot of CPU time going on during the gets. I am just wondering whether 10 programs trying to do a get is slowing down the entire process. I would appreciate if anyone can help me to understand what is going wrong here.

Regards,

This question maybe belongs in the mainframe forum - a moderator will perhaps move it.

You do have a very interesting 3 tier architecture - as it's entirely run in reverse to what most people think about as a 3 tier architecture these days! Most people see 3 tier as web(unix)->broker->mainframe->reply.

I'm guessing this is strictly an IMS configuration issue - that you're not setting it up properly to multithread the GETs. But I'm really really not an IMS or mainframe person.

During the long wait time, what does the queue manager show for the IPPROCS on the reply queue?

Also, you can try configuring the ReplyToQueue as a dynamic queue, instead of sharing a single fixed queue between all the threads. This might, I say might give you better performance.

I was thinking like MQ on zOS may be having any restriction on the concurrent "GET"s. The opprocs was always less than 3 during the execution. Is there any setting which limits the number of concurrent gets??

We are using multiple message regions and I think it is working fine (Though the transactions waiting to be executed might be adding to the delay).

We will be using a clustered queue in Production with three queue manager part of the cluster and will be using ReplytoQueues. But in test we have only one queue manager in zOs. But we wanted to do the stress testing with only on queue manager.

Regards,
RB

Would you mind posting output from a DISPLAY QMGR command on your z/OS system?

Just realized that you mentioned only 3 concurrent GETs, yet you referenced OPPROCS. OPPROCS indicates handles that have the queue open to PUT, not GET. How many IPPROCS are open when you run your test? That would tell you how many concurrent GET handles you have. Sorry if this offers little insight, just something I noticed. Good luck.
