I am a novice of MQ and I need suggestions on how to design a MQ infrastructure for a project.
Currently, we have an application (App1) running in 5 WebSphere instances on pSeries. Each instance has its unique MQM (v5.3) and queues connecting to the backend iSeries for data processing.
From the App1, there will have a link to access other application (App2) running with 2 instances on pSeries. MQ will be used for he communication between these 2 applications.
My objectives are:
1. Any one of the 5 App1 is able to access any one of th 2 App2
2. Provide load balancing
3. The design should be able to cater for other applications
Any suggestions on how to set up MQ to achieve the objectives.
Any recommended books / documents that can provide info on how to plan and design a mq infrastructure?
doesn't sound like something a novice should be asked to do... anyway, seems like your major issue is the load balancing. Well, there are 2 ways to accomplish this: either you use one queue manager and a single queue but have multiple applications reading from the queue (first one to pick up the message will treat it - clustering is accomplished at the time of reading from the queue) or you have multiple queue managers in a cluster hosting the same clustered queue. Each application connects to it's own queue manager and reads from it's own instance... here the load balancing is done at the time of writing to the queue.
