Hi All,

One of our application needs to put around 70,000 messages on a queue.

I need suggestions :
1. Is this a right idea to use MQ-series for this type of application ?
2. what is maximum depth of queue I can define on AS/400?

Thanks in advance,
Hira

I can put 70,000 messages on a queue, and only ever have a queue depth of 1.

I just need to keep getting them as fast as I put them.

You surely don't mean leave 70,000 messages on a queue, for several hours or days, right? Because that's what databases are for.

Or indexed flat files.

It depends. Can you explain who is going to consume the messages?

As of 5.3, the max queue depth is 999,999,999. But your disks will fill up long before you reach that #.

From WMQ online help,
Quote:

The value of this attribute is zero or greater. The upper limit is determined by the environment:

On AIX, HP-UX, z/OS, Solaris, and Windows, the value cannot exceed 999 999 999.
In other environments, the value cannot exceed 640 000.

Thanks All,

There will be a listener running all the time to get messages. But my only concern is if somehow listener is not running then it should not be a problem.

I got my answer now.

Thanks again.
