I've always been intrigued what sort of apps actually create such large messages. Personally, I always felt MQ was designed to promote transactional processing and for distributing informational (non-persistent, pub-sub) messages. But, as with any product, users always find new ways to use it in ways the designer never invisioned. That's usually a good thing. But, at some point when you have to configure your resources for (what I assume) is the exception, rather than the rule, then I think it's time to consider other means for moving the data. It's a trade-off of time, effort and the impact to your resources. If you allocate huge buffers, you may impact other subsystems that have an on-going need for memory, e.g. CICS, IMS, DB2 and so forth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Criscione, Carol (DIS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 25, 2004 12:02 PM Subject: Large Messages and # of Buffers - z/OS
