MQ queue managers should not be allowed to create CCDT files

February 17, 2011 Roger Lacroix

In my opinion, IBM should drop the feature that allows a user to create a CCDT (Client Channel Definition Table) via a queue manager. Here is my logic to my idea: The queue manager stores the CCDT information in 2 places that sometimes becomes out of sync. This desynchronization makes the CCDT file useless CCDT […]

Why a Default Transmit Queue is a Bad Idea

January 5, 2011 Roger Lacroix

The following is general information on WebSphere MQ (aka MQSeries) message behavior during normal and abnormal message processing. The first thing to understand about MQ is that, it is not a database but a real-time messaging system. It was built on the following 2 principles: Once-only delivery of a message Assured delivery of a message […]
