Cressida ReQuest MQ Recovery Log

WebSphere MQ (WMQ) creates log files that allow you to recover queues when there has been a hardware or WMQ failure. Writing these logs is not cheap in terms of system resources, but there are a number of potential benefits to having these logs. Unfortunately WMQ does not allow us to capitalize on most of these benefits.

Future, Past and Present of a Meassage.

Messaging based middleware has come of age and is now used as the basis for both integration of legacy applications and for development of new applications using several design models. It has a great future. This is neither about “The Message” nor about “Messaging”. The focus is on a simple message somewhere in your computer network, perhaps one of millions. It could be insignificant, or it could mean a lot to your business. How do you know? It might not exist anymore, but what happened to it. Perhaps it doesn’t exist yet. If it does exist, where will it go?

Do You Know Where Your MQ Messages Are?

A simple message could be quite critical to your business. It might be the receipt of a SWIFT transfer of funds by a financial institution from another SWIFT participant. Or it could be the transmission of a shipping order to a major supplier. However, the message might not arrive when it should. The message could exist somewhere in your computer network, perhaps one of millions. Or it might not exist anymore, having been already processed. Would you like to know how to quickly access and read the MQ message logs so you can ascertain what happened to a message in a matter of minutes rather than in a couple of hours? Do you know what path a message took or what queue manager it is currently on? Will you be able to prevent future delays?
