Greetings all!
About 10 years ago the good people in DB2 land delivered the DB2 MQ Listener. This process runs under USS that listens on a queue and invokes a stored procedure as defined in a control table.
I don't see a lot of open problems against the facility, but hopefully that is because it is so simple and straightforward there's not much to break. Hope is a marvelous thing.
I am looking for responses to a non-scientific survey from those that use this tool. I keep hearing it's widely used, but no one seems to know for certain.
1) Does your company use the DB2 MQ Listener on z/OS?
2) If so, how long has it been in use?
3) What is the approximate volume of messages per day invoking stored procedures?
1) Does your company use the DB2 MQ Listener on z/OS?
yes
2) If so, how long has it been in use?
Over 5 years
3) What is the approximate volume of messages per day invoking stored procedures? They use it to recall archived bills. Around 10,000 requests a day. I'm sure it can be driven much harder than that w/o any problem.
Depending on your organization, make sure you define who is responsible for this software. MQ is a real small part of MQListen. There is much more configuration needed in DB2 than in MQ. The MQListen product comes on the DB2 RSU - to me they should configure and support it.
