You've forgotten the DLQ. You also may need to update CCDTs.

More memory will be used for application and queue manager buffers. I assume these are persistent messages?

Log space used may increase depending if they are syncpointed and how many are processed concurrently.

Any message browsing or manipulation tool may struggle to cope with these size messages, making support harder (and a MQ client setup using such tools will also need their svrconn channel sizes changed, if the tool can cope).

The easiest thing to do is try it out.

But, you can calculate with some degree of precision.

Actual message size (length), not the MAXMSGL attribute value, impacts disk space, i/o transfer time, and processor utilization.

Of course you will see a performance impact.
Start with memory allocation (you'll need way more) go to message time transfer (don't forget the handshakes and CRC checks ) etc ... channel response times etc...

Have fun

You will need to consider both disk and network i/o transfer in the great Service Level Agreement (SLA) equation, too. 100MB takes a bit longer to transfer to and from than 4MB.

The WMQ client is not the stellar network performer that WMQ point-to-point channels are. Client apps impose additional flows for CC/RC across the network. Consider network bandwidth in the equation, too.

Presuming that the hardware platform is sufficiently provisioned, and that you are not suddenly increasing all msgs to 100MB, you should be able to manage.

Just setting MAXMSGL? No.

You will only see performance issues or impacts if you start *using* large MQ messages. Apps and MQ will need to use larger memory buffers and perform more disk i/o, require larger queue and log files, and increased network activity in proportion to the size of the messages. The MQ Performance Reports will give you an idea of what to expect.

The question is really, for a given amount of persistent message data, will using a few large messages be less efficient than using more small ones?

I would say no overall, depending how the application processes these messages.

It will make any syncpoint have more data in a single unit of work. So if the channel was having to re-send messages due to network unreliability then it would take longer. So not ideal for slow, unreliable networks.

There will most definitely be an impact. Think about a network using mostly messages < 4 MB having suddenly to process messages of 100 MB.
If your normal SLA is less than 1 sec, this change will most definitely break the SLA.

What you need to look at is to create different channels for the slow movers etc... It's all down to earth common sense.

Fewer larger messages will always be more efficient that more smaller messages. With fewer messages there is much less overhead wasted in processing the MQMDs, storing, marshalling and syncpointing all the messages.

These days, networks tend to be very reliable and are faster. One 1MB message will be transmitted faster than one hundred 10KB messages.
