We have an application that uses WCF to connect to MQ. This seems to be like a .NET unmanaged connection.

The version of MQ client is 9.0.5. QM version is 9.0.0.0 (z/OS)

It seems that each of the WCF hosts gets 5 active SVRCONN connections and that SHARECNV is shown as 1 on channel status (even though defined as 10 in the QM channel definition).

Anyone know if there is a connection pool size default in WCF and where to set it?

Also would enabling shared conversations in the code (setAllowSharedConversations) be a good idea to reduce the number of connections?

If shared conversations is not enabled at the client side, then you will never see more than CURSHCNV(1) on the SVRCONN. If you want conversation sharing to reduce the number of channels, I suggest it would indeed be a good idea to enable shared conversations on the client side.

Thanks.

There does not seem to be any exposed method in WCF to enable shared conversations.

I've opened a PMR to see if IBM support have any suggestions on how to do it.

Would still like to know where the 5 connections comes from though.

Presumably it does 5 x MQCONN(X) calls.

You could use DISPLAY CONN to see a bit more about them, which objects they use etc.

Or you could go further and use Application Activity Trace to view exactly what they do.

Cheers,

AAT not on z/OS.

So many things are missing from MQ on z/OS - it's beyond a joke.

Sorry, I missed the note that the queue manager was z/OS. Suggest you capture MQI GTF trace (available long before AAT and solves the same problem).

Cheers,

GTF trace - sounds very cryptic.... there is a RFE to add AAT to z/OS MQ

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=56321

Please vote early...

MVS GTF (Generalized Trace Facility) was once described as the universe’s most complicated (feature-rich) Swiss Army Knife.

If there's something missing from z/OS:

- you don't need it
- you wouldn't want it

I thought about, and decided I'm not going to touch that one. We live in our own worlds... My past world included z/OS and iSeries.
