| Can someone tell me if it is possible to set up a remote queue definition to deliver to two different queue managers and queues. |

| We want to deliver the same message to two different qmgrs -- not alternating. |

| In addition to WMQI, you could use a distribution list to get two sends out. You could also consider pub/sub with the original send being a publish and the two receives being subscribers. Another alternative would be to look at something like the mirrorq sample to make a copy of a message on a second queue. |

Distribution lists sound like the answer. I am searching in the manuals to understand how to use them. I'm struggling to find out how you define the distribution lists. Is it an object you define or just part of a message header?
My users have a program that writes to a queue currently. They are asking for a simple way to write to two qmgrs but they don't want to have to change their program. My guess is that if they use a distribution list - the MQPUT command will be different and they will have to change their program no matter what..
Am I understanding this correctly? |

| even if u use mirrorq, the program needs to changed.i dont think its possible without changing the program whichever way u choose. |

I always chuckle when I hear people say they want a highly specific application to suddenly do something different, without having to change any code... Unfortunately, if you want to use distribution lists, you will have to change your application, as you guessed. As some other people suggested, your best bet may be to use a program like mirrorq duplicate the message once your application has put it to some intermediate queue.

Generally far better to amend the program than it is to complicate your support and maintenance environment.
But yet another way (on 5.3) is the API crossing exit. But I would really only do this if you've lost the source code of the original program. |

If the PUTting application is or can be made to put to remote queues, then this can easily be achieved via a channel message exit. The exit can send a copy of the message to another queue, perhaps the original queue name with a suffix.
So, no changes to the application!
