I understand what the mqoo-fail-if-quiescing option does and its purpose.... but I'm struggling to understand the reasoning for using it.
What is a use case that I would not want to use it?

Thank you. |

- you have a badly designed application that absolutely has to finish a large amount of processing (e.g. a file) once it's started because it can't be restarted / rerun
- you really dislike the MQ Admin at your site and don't think he should have complete control over the queue managers he's responsible for
- you think it's fun to have applications in an inconsistent state following a forced closedown and watch everyone trying to recover (and blaming the MQ Admin - see also above)

All the time. On all MQI calls.

Quite simply, if the sysadmin issues the endmqm command, do you want your application to be notified - so that it can gracefully end its processing (complete units of work) ?

If it doesn't fail, what happens to the message? Will end stay on the queue (assuming persistence) when the qmgr comes back up or will it (could it) be lost. |

Fail if quiescing means that the MQI call will receive a reason code and completion code telling you ONLY that the qmgr is quiescing.
Your program should complete UofW's (either MQCMIT or MQBACK, as your business rules dictate) and end the program.
More specifically, if the qmgr is quiescing, AND an MQGET call with MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING will NOT deliver a message from the queue. An MQPUT call with MQPMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING will not put a message to a queue. So, no message(s) will be 'lost'.
