Hey Guys,

Applications must not write directly to the cluster transmission queue. They write to named queues that resolve to the cluster transmission queue.

whats a reason behind it.

Becuase if you grant permission to the S.C.T.Q for an application, then the application can choose to write to SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE on any machine in the cluster, and thus you have lost all of your MQ security entirely.

This is Bad.

To be more technically accurate, end-user apps should not be able to open transmission queues; rather, they should open an application queue name - most often a QRemote definition - that resolves to an xmit queue as its real local queue.

Similarly, an application should open an application cluster queue definition, and not the SCTQ.

And yes, this is a problem when the apps are replying to dynamic queue names in a cluster. By running all the Cluster Receivers with an MCAUSER that does not have access to the SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE you can prevent remote administration if you must still allow access to the S.C.T.Q.

"Cluster" has multiple meanings.

Briefly, an MQ cluster is a group of queue managers that host the same queue.

applications should not write to the transmission quees because, if they do, they have to provide a tramsmission header (XQH). If that header is missing or if it is not accurate to the sending MCA, then you message will be put to the local dead letter queue.
this is why there are remotequeues. they hold the information that enables mqseries to create a proper transmission header for you, and you do not have to care about all that technical stuff that is in the transmission header.

especially for the S:C:T:Q, there is the cluster workload algoritm that is passed to pick a channel to the target queue. the channel is then placed in the correlid (i hope i am correct here) of the message that is put in S.C.T.Q to be picked up by the proper mca. now, if youj put to the S.C.T.Q directly, you pass the cluster workload algorithm and have to pick up a channel of your choice by your own.

applications should not care about all that technical stuff. thats up to MQ or the MQ administration.
