Hello Masters,
I don't actually consider myself as a new bee, since i've been an admin for quite some time now.
But it looks like i must have been missing some very basic information/education, such as....what a level 2 queue manager is.
Can someone please tell me what exactly is a level 2 queue manager? I looked through the info centers and some red books but there is no information whatsoever on the levels of a queue manager. |

Don't let the titles throw you - there are "newbies" in here who wrote parts of the product!

Can you tell us in what context you've seen this phrase?

There must. With luck a passing IBMer will tell us what it is!

Google found this on a search for "MQSeries Level 2":
| Quote: |
Most of these publications, which are sometimes referred to as the MQSeries "family" books, apply to all MQSeries Level 2 products. The latest MQSeries Level 2 products are:
MQSeries for AIX V5.1
MQSeries for AS/400 V4R2M1
MQSeries for AT&T GIS UNIX V2.2
MQSeries for Digital OpenVMS V2.2
MQSeries for HP-UX V5.1
MQSeries for OS/2 Warp V5.1
MQSeries for OS/390 V2.1
MQSeries for SINIX and DC/OSx V2.2
MQSeries for Sun Solaris V5.1
MQSeries for Tandem NonStop Kernel V2.2
MQSeries for VSE/ESA V2.1
MQSeries for Windows V2.0
MQSeries for Windows V2.1
MQSeries for Windows NT V5.1 |
It looks a bit dated though!
Google also found this:
| Quote: |
| This is an intermediate course for technical individuals who require the skills to be an administrator for any of the WebSphere MQ and MQSeries Level 2 ... |
So I would suspect that 'Level 2' refers to pre-version 5.3?
Any passing IBMers able to help?

Right, so we contrast "MQSeries" with "WebSphere MQ".
And we presume that this description was actually written around the time of WebSphere MQ v5.0, when MQSeries 2.x was still supported and available.
So we have "This is an intermediate course for technical individuals who administer any of the WebSphere MQ and MQSeries Level 2"
The associativity of "Level 2" should be with "MQSeries" and not with "queue manager". Note that the additional caveat "except WebSphere MQ for z/OS," is specifically there to cover the fact that version 5 of MQ for zOS came out a bit later than it did for distributed, and that one could achieve many features of MQ v5 (100Mb message limit for example) on zOS by implementing individual PTFs that did not change the MQ version number. (this is still true of zOS)
At least this is my reading.
Yes, it's an outdated description. |

This makes sense. I agree with how you understand it

Nothing to do with version numbers.
The "level 1" qmgrs were the SSI/EzBridge products. The "level 2" qmgrs were the IBM-developed products. |
