We just migrated from V6.0 to V7.1 on z/Os. We are using QSGs.

When using reset Qstats for a shared Q (for each QM of the QSG) I got the Deq and Enq figures, but when using a ReqRep scenario with putting a message from IMS and getting the message by a listener at the same time, no messages are shown in the Enq or Deq figures. This problem occurs on V7.1 but not on V6.0.

I hope, somebody can help.

Be more specific as to your version (including fix pacs).
I suspect the message is being passed in MEMORY and never "hits" the queue. You need to make sure you read the right stats... at the right software level!

The first application puts a message to a request queue and the second application gets it off the request queue, processes the message and puts the reply onto the reply queue where the first application gets it from the reply queue.
Both queues are shared queues in a queue sharing group. Message length is < 63k, so the messages are held in coupling facility. I have tested one time with persistent queues and another time with non persistent queues, but the results are the same.

What do you mean with "read the right stats... at the right software level!"
Are there different levels of the
RESET QSTATS ?

Are message producer and consumer apps on the same z/OS instance? Are both in the same STGCLASS?

For the request message, the message producer is an IMS transaction on z/Os. The consumer is a java application on my pc. For the reply, it's vice versa.

The Queues are on the same Queue Sharing Group.
The storage class isn't relevant, because the CFStruct parameter determines where the message is held.

Here is the DISPLAY QUEUE of the request queue:

Code:
DISPLAY Q(TEST.QUEUE.HWV.REQUEST)
CSQN205I   COUNT=       3, RETURN=00000000, REASON=00000000

Yes and no.

Are the IMS instance and WMQ instance in the same z/OS instance? I ask because it is possible that the message never gets propagated to the CF, as fjb_saper suggests. It would make no sense for WMQ to force inbound/outbound message to the CF if the producer and consumer apps can be satisfied with messages from in-memory buffers.

Yes, the IMS instance and the WMQ instance are on the same z/OS instance. I didn't know that messages could be dealt solely by in-memory buffers.

I had defined the queues with persistance and hadn't realised that the application puts the messages with non persistance .

Now I changed the application:
Code:

//   mp.setDeliveryMode(DeliveryMode.NON_PERSISTENT);
                  mp.setDeliveryMode(DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT);


And guess what, the message count works.

So I think, I can't rely on "RESET QSTATS" for non persistant messages on WMQ V7.1 when instantely consuming the messages.



Thanx a lot for helping.

Queues are neither persistent nor non-persistent.

There is a queue attribute that will set persistence of this message IF the application specifies _PERSISTENCE_AS_Q_DEF (persistence as defined at the queue).

o.k, more precisely, the queue can be defined on a non recoverable CFStruct.

When I try to put a persistent message on this queue I get a
Code:
2048 (0800) (RC2048): MQRC_PERSISTENT_NOT_ALLOWED


When I try to put a non persistant message on a queue which is defined on a recoverable CFStruct , this is o.k. So, this was what I had done.

WMQ for z/OS shared queues are artifacts of real local queues, and have the same kinds of restrictions. Messages destined for shared queues are propagated (if necessary) to the shared instance in the CF.

A non-recoverable structure behaves pretty much the same thing as a temporary dynamic queue, in that an attempt to put a persistent message would fail with an RC 2048. So, non-persistent messages only.

A recoverable structure allows for both persistent and non-persistent messages - just like permanent dynamic or other real local queues.
