Hi All,

Our implementation of MQ is limited - but we have used a general approach of a single pair of queues (request/reply) that handle multiple message types. Code on the receiving end, processes all messages, then forwards them on to a appropriate transaction/process.

We wanted to use a similar approach to a new OSB/Oracle client, but the client is having difficulties using a single pair of queues with multiple message types, as the schemas are different (the OSB adapter wants a single schema for the messages - it can't handle multiple schemas easily).

Can I reach out for some guidance on the "normal" implementation pattern, would you:
1. Normally use a seperate pair of queues for each different message type - therefore increasing the number of queues to manage.
2. Normally use single pair of queues per destination, and have a handler to forward on different message types depending on content. - Less queues, but a more complex process on the receiving end.
3. Is it horses for courses, so no particular approach.

Thanks for your help!

Darryl

It really depends on the capabilities of the recipient.
I have seen recipients that required multiple queues (data + trigger) and messages by message type.

Typically you would get either a scenario where you have 1 queue per message type, or multiple message types by queue....

The separation however would be on an application + destination basis and not on a destination basis alone.

Any mix and match of the 2 models really depends on the capabilities of the receiving system.

Enjoy

Queues are usually application-based, and named accordingly.

Are you saying that you use a single queue for different business-type messages, for example: payroll time-cards and inventory transactions?
