Queued or threaded MQPUTs 1

[gmold]

Hi,

If I have 10 messages to be put onto the same MQ Queue, via MQPUT, is it faster to -

(a) Create 1 thread and within it issue 10 MQPUT's one after the other; OR

(b) Create 10 threads and within each issue 1 MQPUT.

Anyone with experience in this area? Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'm a newbie at MQ Series.

Thanks,
Greg

It is better, where possible, to do 10 MQPUTs. The rationale is that MQOPEN and MQCLOSE are fairly slow compared with MQPUT or MQGET. If you use 10 threads, you will need 10 MQOPENs and 10 MQCLOSEs
