Hello MQ Experts,

I have number of client applications connecting to a queue manager. The number can go upto 100 instances at a given time.

My question, would there be any performance improvements for the client, if they are given different set of Server connection channels to connect. Say I restrict 20 instances per channel. ie 5 different channels distributed among the application for 100 instances of connections to the queue manager.

Do any one have any suggestion or experience around this with respect to performance, one channel with 100 instances or 5 with 20 each.

Thanks

I can't think of a reason why the actual number of CLNTCONN or SVRCONN definitions should make a significant different to performance.

What can make a significant difference is the amount of conversation sharing between the channels instances. In other words the ratio between Channel Instances and TCP/IP sockets. Less sockets can mean less over-head of SSL Handshakes and less resources but it will also mean more context switching and locking. If you are just looking for best channel through-put then having no sharing is probably best. However, this has been discussed many times on here before so I won't go over it again,

Cheers,

Paul.

One channel def with 100 instances, will perform the same as 5 channel defs with 20 each, assuming they are coming from 100 separate client programs. As PaulClarke says, the story is a little different if connections are being shared.

The SVRCONN channel definition is just a template for when an actual channel instance needs to be started. As Paul and mvic have stated, makes no diff if you start your 100 channel instances off one "template", or off 5 different ones, or off 100 different ones.

Define additional SVRCONN channels as needed, for when you need different attributes for different instances.

The exception to the above is Shared Conversations, again as Paul and mvic mentioned.
