I am installing a product that utilizes mq series as middleware.

While doing an install test of the third party software - I've noticed that performance is about 15 times slower than at any other installations.

When mq has been taken out of the equation - the third party software runs as expected.

It appears that the third party process 'sleeps' when doing either a get or put - but I'm guessing at best.

Are there any mq tools to isolate this problem?

Thanks,
Robin

Could you provide some details on the system architecture, e.g. what the 3rd party application does, does it block until it receives messages, etc.?

sure ....

the third party software reads messages from queue x, processes information, and then writes to queue a, b, and c.

there's no blocks - at least none i'm aware of.

hope this helps,
thanks!

I'd guess that the 3rd party program is issuing a get with a wait. If a message isn't available, it waits for it to come in which causes the delay that you are seeing. You could try running a large number of messages continually through the system to see if the throughput of the program increases. That will keep the get from sleeping.

true - there is a wait - but right now we're manually kicking the process off after we've loaded the queue with messages.

when i do a 'top' and see my process - it's almost always sleeping. when we've done a truss against the pid there's a lot of lock / waits.

i'm no s.a. (yet) so analyzing truss is a bit of a chore.

any other tools that would help me analyze what mq is up to?
