Hi All,
I am facing a strange situation. I have three QM's in Cluster.
QM1 -FR
QM2 -FR
QM3 -PR
I have cluster queue TESTQ on QM2 and QM3.
The application is connected to QM1 and putting messages on TESTQ.
I want the messages to be sent to two QMgrs QM2 and QM3 in round robin fashion.
I have altered the DEFBIND attribute to NOT_FIXED on both of the queues.
When I put messages from QM1, all the messages are landing on TESTQ cluster queue on QM3. No messages are coming on to QM2.
Can you pls let me know , if the setup I made is correct? If so why are the messages not arriving on other cluster queue?
Thanks

Because the putting application is not using the default binding, and is performing a bind on open.
Or there's a problem with the cluster (e.g. channels not running).

| Or the app hasn't been restarted since DEFBIND was altered and hasn't reopened the queue. |

I am using RFHUTIL to put messages on to cluster queue with Bind option as NOTFIXED

I checked all the channels, they are running.
I have deleted the cluster Queue on QM3 and created a cluster queue on QM1 and tried to send messages. The messages are arriving as expected.
But when I created cluster queue TESTQ again on QM3, all the messages are landing again on cluster queue on QM3.
Thanks

Are you saying here that with a clustered queue TESTQ on QM1 & QM2, the messages are balanced, but with a clustered queue on QM2 & QM3 all the messages are delivered to QM3?
What version of WMQ is in use for the 3 queue managers, and what OS?

Check the cluster attributes for the queue. Working as designed. One of the cluster attributes should be set to [any] for it to work as you think...

Hi,
I checked the cluster attributes and CLWLUSEQ is set to ANY on all the three Queue Managers.
Thanks

Or the channel from QM1 to QM2 is very busy, and the cluster algorithm is working as designed* and putting them on the less heavily used channel, from QM1 to QM3.
*Not a good design in my opinion....
