Hi everyone, I have checked through the Info Centre for "Changed behaviour between 7.0 and 7.5 but can not see it mentioned.

It looks to me that IBM have changed the strucutre of the queue directory from 7 to 7.5 for local queues but would just like one of you experts to confirm my eyes are not deceiving me

example (AIX)
MQ 7
/var/mqm/qmgrs/TESTQM/queues/TEST.INPUT.DATA/q with data stored on the local queue being in q

MQ7.5
/var/mqm/qmgrs/TESTQM/queues/TEST.INPUT.DATA with data stored on the local queue being in q name ie TEST.INPUT.DATA

More interested rather than it being a issue.


Thank you

I looks like this is an internal change that should not affect any users of MQ. Transparent internal changes are not usually mentioned in the changed behaviour between versions, otherwise there would be dozens of them listed !

All that IBM is obligated to do is to make WMQ behave as documented in the relevant manuals. Exactly how IBM makes WMQ internals behave is proprietary. A classic example is how WMQ stores messages in the filesystem, and the little q/big Q artifact.

The change to using a file per queue, rather than a sub-directory per queue, is related to the ability of some unix systems to host much larger numbers of files in a directory, than sub-directories in a directory.
For MQ systems with very large numbers of dynamic queues the sub-directory per MQ object approach could cause an artificial scalability constraint.
