Hi,
- is there somebody having experience on the maximum (or great)number of MQClients that can be connected to a such server without having bad MQSeries performance at the server?

- same thing on a Sun Solaris server?

- is there some documentation about that?

Thanks for help.

You can find performance comparisons on the IBM support pages, here is the link to the HP UX one :

You can search through the other ones at :

We have been conducting some tests in the past week on seeing how many JMS sessions we can connect to a MQ single listener running on both Solaris and NT.

The results we obtained were:

NT: 3500 concurrent connections
Solaris: 650 concurrent connections

Both machines had 512Mb of RAM

By default only 100 connections are allowed out of the box, this can be changed by editing the mqs.ini file for the MAXChannels parameters

Various semaphore / kernel settings were also tried to see if we could push the limit higher before the listener broke.

hope this helps

Nik

We did some testing on HP-UX using about 500 client connections 3 years ago. It had no problem handling the connections, but when we pulled the network cable out of the machine housing all of the clients (to simulate WAN failure) the HP-UX box when into a tailspin and never recovered. We left it for 24 hours at one stage with no luck. This happened a number of times.

We had Hursely investigate it and they said it was a problem with HP-UX processes getting deadlocked and that we should run on NT instead. IBM have since told us that it has been fixed (not sure how if it was an HP-UX problem?) but we've never re-tested it.

Don't forget that the maximum number of channel (including client connection) is 100. In order to increase the number of active channel you need to modify the qm.ini file of each Queue Manager /var/mqm/qmgrs/<your queue manager>/qm.ini.

Regard,

JM
