Could anyone please let me know whether application code contains any backout logic for the backout queue?

As per my knowledge when the backout count exceeds the backout threshold, the MQ Queue Manager object moves the poison message to the backout queue. It happens because we manually map the local request queue with the backout queue with backout threshold. So I don't think any backout logic needs to be defined in the corresponding application program for the backout queue.

Hello,

The backout queue is a mechanism designed to assist the application programmer when dealing with poisoned messages ,or speaking in other way to examine and analyse the data contained in these messages in order to detect the reason of handling failure, by your application logic .
Then you can correct the data in the payload of these messages ,and requeue them to the relevant application queues ,for the appropriate
reprocessing .

MQ does not move the messages. The application has to inspect the backout count of each message and move it when appropriate.

The queue attributes are just a place to store the values for reference.

Whether your application (CICS or whatever) has some logic to do this is something I don't know. WMB has such logic.

Your knowledge is wrong. The queue manager records the backout attributes but doesn't act on them. It's the responsibility of the application to honour them. WMB/IIB does this in it's guise as a well-behaved WMQ application, WAS does this on behalf of the WMQ applications running inside it's container and other similar containers may do as well.

To the best of my knowledge, CICS doesn't do this but my knowledge may be as flawed as yours. A simple experiment will show you if it does or it doesn't. I'm assuming CICS as you've posted in the Mainframe section....
