Hello folks -
I have application A on QMA on AIX and wants to put to two queues on remote mainframe queue manager QMB(for application B). Application A doesnt want to do two PUTs. How can this be accomplished. QMA is v6 and QMB is v7.
I tried with an alias on QMA pointing to a clustered QA on QMB which points to a namelists with both queues in it. But this doesnt seem to work.
Any thoughts on this? |

Do you want to send a copy of the same message to both queues?

Yes.

Do you want to round-robin messages to each queue?

Not sure. |

These are mutually exclusive options. You can't distribute messages between two queues if you always put messages to both queues.
I can tell you three ways to create copies of each message on both queues. It does you no good if each queue is expecting a unique message. |

Thanks Jeff, then my answer would be No to the round robin question.
Can you please tell me ways I can accomplish this? |

Two ways that require changing the application:
Use A Distribution List
MQPUT to a *TOPIC* instead of a *QUEUE*
One way that doesn't require changing the application:
Define a TOPIC with the same name as the remote queue and subscriptions that point to the destination queues.

I dont think using Distribution list is possible since QMB is on Mainframe? I didnt think distribution lists could be used on z/OS.

QMA is on V6 and QMB is on V7. I know this can be still accomplished, but dont know the exact details as to how v6 pubsub will interact with v7 pubsub.
Thank you. |

Drop all new requests. Update QMA to v7. You're out of support *very soon*. |
