Hi,
Is it possible to mix LU62-only node and TCP-only node in the same cluster?
The FR will support both transport type .

Can they communicate with each other?

What does the IBM documentation have to say about this?

Queue managers communicate by using WMQ channels. They don't know what protocol the channel is using, and don't care.

As I re-read the OP, you are asking if a qmgr that only supports tcp/ip can establish a channel to a qmgr that does NOT support tcp/ip.

Is this your question?

The Intercommunications documentation describes channel attributes that must match at both ends of a channel for the channel to successfully start.

Just want to confirm cluster won't do message relaying with multi hop.

Why do believe this to be the case?

Do you understand what channels are, and what they do?

Do you understand how messages are routed across mq networks?

What has this got to do with your original post? That was talking about comminucation protocols?

You link queue managers together, in a cluster or not, with channels. These channels use protocols common to both hosting machines. This ends one part of the story.

You then group these queue managers into a topology of your choosing, based on your criteria. One such topology is a cluster. This has nothing to do with the underlying communications. This is basic WMQ.

Another very basic concept is that all the members of a WMQ cluster interconnect with all others and all message tranfer is direct. The location of an FR is irrelevant to this.

Re-read the clusters documentation, carefully. If you have a need to multi-hop clustered messages because of network (for some reason) then you should be thinking about overlapping the clusters.

I do not believe that there is anything that stops a queue manager from defining two different CLUSRCVRs that use different network protocols, provided the queue manager is running on a machine that physically supports two different network protocols.

I don't believe that anything stops that either. I was just pointing out (given the OP talked about multi hop) that the clustered equivalent of a multi-hop is an overlap.

I suppose it depends on what you exactly mean by "overlap".

But, yes, a cluster multi-hop is when qmgr A sends a message to qmgr B over cluster CLUSTER1. Qmgr B is a member of both CLUSTER1 and CLUSTER2. When the message arrives at QmgrB, qmgrB discovers that the destination for the message is actually a queue on qmgrC that belongs to CLUSTER2, and sends the message to qmgr C.

EDIT: My point about the ambiguity of "overlap" is that in the above, qmgr A *only* belongs to CLUSTER1 and qmgr C *only* belongs to CLUSTER2.

Multi-hopping (how many p's?) is possible across (through) both cluster- and non-cluster qmgrs. Still not sure why the OP believes this is not the case.
