Clustering MQSeries

[pcruik]

Hello all,
I'm trying to setup a MQSeries cluster on a second machine but have a question/problem. I have 2 WebSphere machines with thier respective queues - messages are being sent via JMS to MQ, then from MQ to legacy via copybooks. There isn't any failover on the WebSphere machines, so if a machine goes down then the session is killed. However, this is my problem, if a MQSeries machine goes down, and the second machine picks up the message returning from legacy it doesn't know which WebSphere machine the message orginated from. Any suggestions?


thanks in advance

Hi,

you could set up the cluster?
how did you do that?

I too have a similar environment.. only difference is that I have a websphere (or a cluster of servers later on) from where I use JMS to put messages to an MQ Server queue (or a cluster here). But whenever I try setting up an MQ cluster, it doesn't happen, I have now tried from MQ Explorer as well as from command promt, but all in vein.

If you can help me in this, please let me know in maneshsankar@yahoo.com, I'll b grateful.. thankx in advance..

now to your problem, can't we have a message header set with a value specific to that of the websphere frmo which it originates? something like say, "machine_id"="appServer_01"? It's just a suggestion. You can easily make out the origin with this I guess.

anyway, any other ways, I mean standard awys, let me know too..

thankx in advance
