As far as the messages picked off a xmit queue - is my understanding correct that the channel MSGDLVSQ will dictate if FIFO within prio, or just FIFO is used to get messages from the channel? So - specifying FIFO in this value will negate priority - is this correct?
According to the doc:
"
MSGDLVSQ Message delivery sequence. This parameter is supported only on local and model queues.
PRIORITY Messages are delivered (in response to MQGET API calls) in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order within priority.
FIFO Messages are delivered (in response to MQGET API calls) in FIFO order. Priority is ignored for messages on this queue.
If the message delivery sequence is changed from PRIORITY to FIFO while there are messages on the queue, the order of the messages already on the queue is not changed. Messages added to the queue subsequently take the default priority of the queue, and so might be processed before some of the existing messages." |

Yes. As is says in the link you provide:

In the context of a xmitq the MCA acts like any other application doing a MQGet

A warning: MessageDeliverySequence by priority offers some undesirable results, consequences, namely: If messages of high(er) priority continue to arrive in the queue, low(er) priority messages may never be processed. This is not unique to xmit queues.
If you know that some messages are of higher priority (value) need to be transmitted, then create a second channel pair between qmgrs, and have the application MQOPEN a QRemote definition that picks the fast path.

When this occurs, it is seen as a performance problem for some applications, but not others.
