I am interested in how many application queues are typically found on your queue managers (non-mainframe) on average (in production).
Excluding transmit, DLQ and any system queues (or system management). |

How do I vote for "All of the Above"?
Most have around 250. Some have < 10. A couple of have >1750.

Hi,
I always recommend clients to assign 1 queue manager per Business Unit (BU). If a BU has only 1 application then it is 1. If a BU has 50 application then it is 50.

zpat,
my philosophy is: One QMGR per server. On small Unix boxes I set up QMgrs with few Qs (<= 10). But I also set up QMgrs with many Qs (> 500).
My vote would be "<= 50" (I cannot select one of your given values).

The answers suggest that QMs will less than 100 queues might well be considered underutilised. Certainly if less than 50.
I am a strong believer in concentrating queues on as few QMs as possible but am currently working at a site where this has not happened at all. |

A QM with 49 queues might have 1000s of client channels moving thousands of messages a second, triggering lots of things, use MQ Pub/Sub, etc, etc.
So the # of queues alone is not enough to determine if a QM is underutilized. But I'm with you, QM sprawl is a bad thing, and newbies tend to think you need 2 QMs to seperate things more often than is necessary.
Our average # of queues per QMs slowly rises, and the # of QMs we have is holding steady and occasionally dropping as we identify apps that don't need a local QM and can do just fine using MQ Client into the shared MQ Farm.
