Hi,
Today I was working in a Windows MQ installation with a queue manager running since 5/12/2006 , 708 days! MQ version is 6.0.0.0
It acts almost as a gateway , few queues , but a rate of 300 npm msgs/sec for each one. |

It should have been taken down somewhere in that 780 days to have fixpacks applied to it.
You should be running at 6.0.2.4 and not 6.0.0.0, even on a gateway queue manager.
Just because it's not broke, doesn't mean you shouldn't fixPac it. |

As bad as that is, the fact that a Windows server went that long without MSFT security patches worries me more.

| You are both right, but apart from technical and recommended procedures I found it like a record, or like an alien system. This system belongs to a bank, using MQ in zOS, As they don't have CAF they send messages to this system to be consumed by MQ clients. I can add this is not a critical system for their business, messages are used to build performance graphics |

That is the longest I've seen a Windows QM up and running. Do you think it will make it to 1,000 days?
