Hi All,

One of my task is to setup a Pre-Production MQ_Cluster environment which is a mimic to my existing Production MQ_Cluster environment per say C1.

Two Full Repositories in Production on AIX machines where Message Broker also running along with their corresponding DB2 Databases.

My question is, íf I setup a MQ_Cluster C2 in my Pre-Production environment, should I have identical Queue Manager, Message Broker, DB2 Broker database, and Application Database names? why and why not.

I guess, from Application point of view, it will be a lot easier if I can have identical names for all above mentioned components.

I will be highly appreciated for your input.

Regards,

Naming the queues the same ... by all means.
Channels should follow MQ naming conventions.
Naming the queue managers the same will be really dangerous. Should you inadvertently try a connection from a pre production qmgr to a production qmgr (I hope your firewall would prevent this) and succeed you can really mess up the production cluster as it has a visceral reation to having 2 qmgrs with the same name in the cluster...

Anyways MQ connection parameters should be different per environment. Use property files, JNDI setup etc... per environment.

Enjoy

Hi fjb_saper,

First of all, thanks a lot for responding to my post. Actually all these queue managers in Pre-Production would be in a different cluster per say C2 where as I have Production MQ Cluster as C1.

Do you think still it is a bad idea having identical queue manager names in two different MQ Clusters.

One more thing, Each machine containing only one Queue Manager.

Again thank you for your feedback.

Regards,

go by the convention T1(testing/SIT) Q1(preprod/QA/UAT) and P1(Prod)

And name the clusters accordingly..
