[b]The setup:[/b]

Broker: 6.0.0.6
MQ: 6.0.2.3
DB2: 8.2.9
Env: Windows 2003 SP1(Cluster)

[b]The problem:[/b]

We recently moved to a new server and since then noticed a drastic reduction in performance for SOME (not all) message flows which cater to high volume of messages.
Please note the message volume has not changed much. And of course, we haven't modified the code.

The following has been done, but to no avail:

1.) Runstats on the DB2 table and rebind packages. Also did a rebind on packages which were marked as Invalid.
2.) Exclude virus scans for trace folders etc.
3.) Our storage group has also confirmed that there are no disk related issues, and the i/o response time is low.
4.) Our administrators have taken broker statistics, which is ok.


Appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

Cheers,
Hari

Do your flows involve DB access?
Was the time spent on the DB ever measured?
What is that time today?

Yes, it involves DB access.
Yes, the DB times are good, within milliseconds...

Thanks.

How do you know? What is the time spent on the DB, the time spent on the roundtrip (DB + Network)?

If only some of the flows have performance problems, it could be an indication of a too small queue cache size. Especially if it is not always the same flows. You or somebody else may have tuned open handle caches on the old broker, or you have migrated it from version 5 that had a larger default cache size. But execution groups on the new broker will have the default queue cache size, which is 10 for version 6. If you have several flows in an execution group it is quite possible that some flows may have to wait for a free open queue handle.

Try increasing queue cache sizes of your execution groups like this:

mqsichangeproperties YourBroker -e YourExecutionGroup -o ComIbmMQConnectionManager -n queueCacheMaxSize -v YourNewCacheSize

thanks [sic] to our original DBA who said that everything look good at the database end....

so finally we were able to resolve the problem and the culprit:
DB2 parameter DB2NTNOCACHE was turned ON.

Thanks for the update Hari. This shows that sometimes a little doubt can go a long way, or it always pays to doublecheck...
