Improving IBM WebSphere MQ Transport Performance - Middleware News

The performance of an IBM WebSphere MQ queue is highly dependent on the disk performance of the queue manager machine and the layout of the queue's files on the disk. You should test your queue with stand-alone utilities so that you have an upper boundary for the performance that can be expected in a live application.
To achieve higher throughput, consider the following options:
  • Run multiple MQ Receiver tasks. Run multiple MQ Receiver tasks in parallel on the same machine or across several machines. The optimal number of MQ Receiver tasks depends on the transaction type.
    NOTE:  This guide refers to MQ Receiver, where the actual Siebel Server component you are using may be MQSeries Server Receiver (alias MqSeriesSrvRcvr) or MQSeries AMI Receiver (alias MqSeriesAMIRcvr).
    The default number of MQ Receiver tasks is 1. You can set this to 10 or more, depending on the nature of your transactions and on available server capacity.
    Adding MQ Receivers is generally most helpful for handling CPU-bound transactions, where the dequeuing rate is low and MQ contention is not experienced.
    Sometimes contention is still experienced after adding MQ Receiver tasks, such as when multiple MQ Receivers connect to the same MQ queue manager or queue. See the next item for more information.
  • Run multiple MQ queue managers. If you experience diminishing returns from adding MQ Receiver tasks, you may benefit from running additional MQ queue managers. Doing so can help to reduce contention of MQ resources stored in physical folders on disk.
  • Turn off persistent queuing if it is unneeded. Performance issues for nonCPU-bound transactions or for persistent queuing are often related to MQ contention, which is not helped by adding receivers. If you do not require persistent queuing, turn it off.
    Persistent queuing is significantly slower than normal queuing for WebSphere MQ. If you do not use this feature, however, messages will be lost if the queue manager goes down.
  • Set Maximum Number of Channels parameter. Set the Maximum Number of Channels parameter in the WebSphere MQ queue manager to be greater than or equal to the maximum number of simultaneous clients you have running.
In addition, there are specific actions you can take to improve WebSphere MQ Transport performance for outbound and inbound transports, as detailed below.

Inbound Messages

For inbound WebSphere MQ messages, run multiple MQ Receivers in parallel to increase throughput. See additional comments earlier in this topic for details.

Outbound Messages (Send, SendReceive)

Caching of WebSphere MQ Transport business services can improve outbound performance by eliminating the need to connect to the queue for each message. Caching is disabled by default because it is not usable in every situation. Follow these tips to enable caching:

  • Cache in client sessions only. Do not use caching if your transport will be called within the Workflow Process Manager (WfProcMgr) component. The threading model of this component is not compatible with the WebSphere MQ APIs.
  • To enable caching for a business service, set the Cache property to TRUE in Siebel Tools, then recompile the SRF file.
  • If you need to call the WebSphere MQ Transport in Workflow Process Manager and in a client session, make a separate copy of the service (one cached and one uncached) for each situation.
  • Caching occurs on a per-queue basis and only one connection is kept open at a time. If a single session is going to talk to multiple queues, consider making a copy of the transport for each outbound queue.

IBM Websphere MQ interview Questions Part 5

MQ Series: - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other. It is an EAI tool (Middle ware) VERSIONS:-5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0, 7.0(new version). The currently using version is 6.2 Note: – MQ series supports more than 35+ operating systems. It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\BM\clipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have • QUEUES • CHANNELS • PROCESS • AUTHENTICATION • QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects: – objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maintains all the objects and services. QUEUE: – it is a database structure ...

Message Broker (WMB) installation and setup on Linux

Message Broker (WMB) installation and setup on Linux Installing the Binaries As a first step download the trail version of the message broker binaries from IBM site and install them. this part is very simple and process is depends on your operating system. Like for windows, you have .exe file and Linux has rpm and unix you get pkg or other. After installation Set up a broker database [Windows] __ 1. Create the broker database, BRKDB. Open a WebSphere Message Broker Command Console: mqsicreatedb BRKDB This command also establishes the required ODBC connection. _ 2. Verify your user account for the broker database. [Linux] If you are creating Oracle databases for 32-bit brokers on Linux® and UNIX® systems, run the mqsi_setupdatabase command before you create a database. mqsi_setupdatabase– Database–Database_Home_Directory Eg:mqsi_setupdatabase oracle /oracle/product/9i/Db_1 Add $ORACLE_HOME/lib to the end of the MQSI_LIBPATH library search path environment variabl...
