better option is to buy some monitoring tools.

which helps you to get the alerts.

messages remaining in the queue should be various reasons
if target is not ready to pick up the messages.
Trigger
Channel etc etc.

You have to troubleshoot on this matter and find out it.

I use Qpasa to montior our queues. I receive a lot of false alerts as when i do look at the queues, the messages are gone.
When constantly watching the queues, this is when i noticed the messages remain for 40 sec before moving on.

I just thought there are some parameters i can check to speed things up.

When you say the messages are not "moving on", are you referring to messages in a transmit queue?

If the messages are not "moving on" from a local queue, the delay is most probably an issue with the application that is getting the messages.

You can avoid false alerts in QPasa several different ways, depending on what reflects a situation about which you are concerned. For example, you can put a delay in the alert itself, so that it only fires if the queue remains at a certain depth for a specified period. Or, you can alert if the queue reaches a specified depth and the IPPROCS are a specified value. Or you can alert on IPPROCS only, if you always expect there to be handles into the queue.

These are just examples; you can do about anything with complex QP alerts.

Are you saying that all messages sit in the queue for 40 seconds before the getting application comes to life and gets the first message? Or are you saying that it takes 40 seconds to consume the last message in the queue?

If there are millions of messages, it might take the getting application a while to process all of them.

What are the differences between the MQs that you believe to be slow and the MQs that appear to be faster? What hardware platfforms? What speed processor(s)?

WMQ v6 has some queue attributes that will tell you about the oldest message in the queue, and how long it's been there.
