Hello wise and gentle folks ... wondering if your vast knowledge of MQ and MQ related includes exeprience with or knowledge of MQFTE z/OS deployments where 200+ FTE Client Agents access via ServerConn channels one FTE Agent Queue Manager (and if the Coordination Queue Manager and the Command Queue Manager are deployed on z/OS also). Any comments on the topology would be greatly appreciated.
Much obliged for your time

Forgive me my lack of zOS knowledge but I thought that zOS FTP was more resilient than distributed and as such guaranteed the full file transfer?
So I guess the only usage you would have from MQFTE there would be logging and audit trail right?

In many cases "more resilient" is not good enough. FTE is in a completely different league to FTP and provides full transfer tracking and asynchronous delivery. FTE rides on MQ. What more can I say?
I know of FTE deployments with 1000+ FTE agents using MQ Client connection to one central Agent & Command queue manager on UNIX (in a HA cluster), so this many agents should be a walk in the park for z/OS.

Except for the licensing fees for the CAF to allow the zos qmgr to receive this many incoming client connections. |

Thank you: you confirm what we thought ... BTW, the CAF is covered already by our monthlies so it is not an issue here.
