Hi,

I am planning to have a MQ Trigger as EVERY. I have few questions,

1. Can we use EVERY option? (we are expecting 7000 concurrent users)
2. Please let me know the step by step process of CICS Adapter which would get triggered for each message and should get the message to start a transaction.
3. If anybody has sample CICS Adapter , please send it my mail id
babujini@gmal.com.

Thanks,
Babu M

There is a trigger monitor delivered with the product.

Regardless of the number of users if you do use trigger every you need to limit the resources available to the transaction in CICS.
Although I am not working with Mainframes I believe it is called Tclassing the transaction...

Enjoy

As saper said, there's a trigger monitor supplied with the standard WMQ package; it's called CKTI, look it up.

Now, concerning the throughput issue - it doesn't really matter how many "users" you have, whatever that means, but how many messages per second and of what average message size. After you've determined that decide whether to use EVERY or FIRST according to these considerations:
1. It's easier to write transactions triggered with EVERY, since they just MQGET once, process, and shut down. No hassle.
2. It's far less efficient to work with EVERY since you have to MQCONN+MQOPEN for each message
3. Also, with EVERY you have to load the transaction each time.
4. And finally, with EVERY you have to MQCMIT for each message, which makes for poor performance.

So, a long story short: If you don't have a performance problem, go with EVERY, if you need to conserve valualbe resources, use FIRST.
Naturally, if we're takling about an already existant program, then you don't really have a choice, now do you?

EDIT: Oh, and you can restrict the resources the transaction takes up, and the maximum number of concurrent running transactions. Approach your CICS admin, he'll know what to do.

IIRC MQCONN shouldn't be an issue under CICS. It is ignored as CICS does the connect at startup and ignores the programs MQCONN....but MQOPEN certainly is going to be an issue.

Woops! Forgot about that, thanks for the correction
