Hello,

I'm following this doc to create a hub & spoke model.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_9.0.0/com.ibm.mq.con.doc/q017440_.htm

I have a question in step 6.
I'm creating CL1.QM1 and CL2.QM1 on gateway qmgr as cluster-receiver but the documentation doesn't say anything about creating a cluster-sender. Is this still true ?

Thank you

Apart from these cluster senders you mean?
Code:

*... On QM1
DEFINE CHANNEL(CL1.QM2) CHLTYPE(CLUSSDR) CONNAME('localhost(1412)') CLUSTER(CL1) REPLACE
....
DEFINE CHANNEL(CL2.QM3) CHLTYPE(CLUSSDR) CONNAME('localhost(1413)') CLUSTER(CL2) REPLACE
....

yes. I should create CL1.QM1 and CL2.QM1 as cluster-senders somewhere correct ?

No.

Members of a cluster have one cluster sender channel that points to a full repository. That's the point of a cluster.

Try reading the rest of the cluster documentation rather than just the list of instructions for what you think you need to do.

(and I'd not describe that link as a hub and spoke)

If this is not the link for a hub and spoke design, do you have a recommended documentation ?

Pretty much all of the rest of the documentation.

A hub and spoke is a series of queue managers in a point to point configuration. So you designate one queue manager as a hub, then work your way through all the spoke queue managers linking them to the hub.

This is probably a good point to emphasize once again that an MQ cluster is not a hub and spoke configuration but a collective of equals with 2 queue managers nominated as record keepers. Messages pass directly between all members of this collective and do not dogleg through the repositories.

"all" is a bit confusing. Messages flow point-to-point from the single qmgr where the msg was created to the single qmgr that owns the destination queue.

You've been possessed by the spirit of my old English tutor. Douse your body with holy water, get some sage burning and order some crystals from Amazon. In the event of projectile vomiting call your local church.

Figure 1. Client-server application deployed to hub and spoke architecture using IBM MQ clusters

I wish IBM would remove 'hub and spoke' from that caption. It is the only place it is mentioned on the page, and it is misleading. The correct terminology is 'overlapping clusters', as appears in the page title.
As alluded by a previous post, 'hub and spoke' is a different MQ architecture that uses point-to-point distributed channels, not cluster channels.
