We have a MQ server running on Linux.
We would like to expose a few of the queues on this Queue Manager to other systems for put operations.
We have identified two approaches for this
1) To define a remote queue definitions on MQ server on the client system and
having direct client connections to our MQ server
2) To have a Java/C client using the MA88 support pac to have connectivity with our Queue Manager.
Our queries are
1) Which of the two is preferable from a client channel utilization point of view
2) Have we missed out on an approach which is better or more preferable than the above two.
3) Is it possible to restrict the number of clients connecting to our MQ server. We do not want an unintentional piece of code hogging all the channels, preventing other users from even connectiong or normal operations from being impaired.
MA88 is obsolete, and the java API that is a custom install option in 5.3 or later should be used instead.
1) To know if some approach is better than another would require knowing a lot more about your business requirements for the processes in question.
2) see #1
3) Out of the box, it is possible to restrict the total number of client connections available. It is not, if I recall correctly, possible to restrict the number of connections that a particular client can use. BUT, again only if I remember correctly, the free BlockIP2 exit can be configured to do this for you. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general.
