I've one CICS region that has two bridge tasks active, but the two CKBRs do not process the same queue.
CICS is generally able to keep up with message arrivals. Queue depth occasionally will spike to 20, but will return to 2 or less within 3-5 seconds. This at CKBP transaction completion rate of up to 95 per second. Haven't seen any higher transaction rate. MQ 5.3.1, CICS TS 2.3, DB2 7.1, zOS 1.6. Processor's a 2086-260. MQ, CICS, DB2 account for 79% of the CPU at 95 tps.

This bridge connects my MQSeries 5.3.1 mainframe queue manager to a CICS 2.3 region. The bridge uses a CICS transaction CKBR to read the messages from the Bridge queue and place them into CICS for processing. Sometimes I get queueing occurring on this queue. It seems that CICS isn't able to read the messages fast enough at peak times. I was wondering if it is possible to have more than one instance of the CKBR transaction in a single CICS region, to get this queue read faster. Does anyone know ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
