				Hi Everyone,
 
 
It's well documented that it's better to have one queue manager with many queues, versus several queue managers with only a few queues each. Are there circumstances where you would want to have several queue managers? Thank you for any guidance. _________________ - Dave Lamont |

				Having your development and QA on the same machine, if you're short of 
 
resources (boxes).....
 
 
But sharing your production system with any other environment is not a good idea    |

				Don't forget about all the additional resources and overhead that you will incur for each queue manager, i.e., log space, etc!    _________________ IBM Certified MQSeries Specialist
