I am trying to find some information on best practices on transfering large amounts of data via MQSeries. I understand the concept of segmentation, however, I would like some additional information not available in the manuals for the product

For example, I have a customer that is trying to transfer 4 GB files via MQ.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

It so big
I have expirience of transfer 70 MB without problems.
Any way, QMgr limit is 100 MB.
I think transferring compressed file will be usefull for you.
If you have 4 GB in text format - Zip will compress it to 25 MB, Rar - to 9 MB !!!

Segmentation might be a good idea. But also consider using reference messages.

Transferring 4gb files will require segmenting the message due to the single 100mb message limit however there is another limit to consider,
for distrubuted systems the Queue Data is stored in a regular file which
prior to version 5.3 was set a 2GB, v5.3 will allow > 2gb Queue File size
if the OS/FileSystem support it. If you are going to use version v5.2 or older you will not be able to use a single unit of work, so you will need to provide some form of checksum to insure the complete file is sent.

There's a RedBook, SG24-5849, MQSeries 5.1 Administration and Programming Examples that contains a pair of working programs that will take a file of any size, slice it up, ship it via MQ, and then rebuild it.

But, beware, there's NO error checking. So you would have to do some work to make it robust.

Cheers,
