Carol, It will take you around 30,000 4k buffers for each 100 meg message that you intend to have memory resident. 100*1048576/3600=29127 rounded or, room for 9 100meg messages, per gig of memory. You'll want to turn on SMF115 records, uses not so much disk and the performance hit is arounf 5%. Employ the support pack: MP1B: WebSphere MQ for z/OS V5.3 - Interpreting accounting and statistics data to review the SMF data. They include some sample data, to verify that you've set things up correctly. Maybe, if you've got plenty of disk and can take the 11% performance hit, for a little while, you can turn on the SMF116 records (the systems team has not allowed me to do this yet). Wish I could give you a significantly more experienced answer. I'm doing this analysis myself, at work, and would be interested in collaborating with you, while you do this analysis too. My business email is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope to hear from you, Chris
