Pere, It would seem desirable to do the "fanout" on the z/OS machine, if it were to be done anywhere else you would be introducing more points of failure etc. It seems to me that you have three real choices.
1) Get the originating application to put to the three destinations if that is not possible then: 2) Put the message onto a z/OS queue and have another application that removes the message from this queue and does the fanout for you. 3) Use pubsub. If you need to do this at MQ V6 then MB is the only pubsub engine available to you on z/OS. Do you already have MB, or also have other requirements for message filtering/transformation/content based routing? If so then it might be worth looking at MB. Of course, what you are wanting to achieve is VERY simple with MQ V7, so you will probably want to keep that in mind with any solution you are currently looking at, so that when you move to V7 in the future you can simplify your solution.

Do I need message broker at Host as publisher too ? Mirroring seemed the solution until I have been informed that I had to replicate the message in 3 machines... :-( Thanks Regards.

Been a long day burning DVDs for the MQ labs at IMPACT next week! What don't you like about pubsub? and has that been fixed in V7?

You can define a queue alias that points to a topic and then a couple of administratively defined subs with the appropriate destination queues and queue manager. Alternatively you could do the distribution list fanout on the distributed machine, with the use of appropriate remote queue and alias definitions.... I would go with pubsub :-) Thanks Paul Paul Dennis WebSphere MQ for z/OS Development Pere Guerrero Olmedo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: MQSeries List To <MQSERIES@LISTSERV.MEDUNIWIEN.AC.AT> [EMAIL PROTECTED] IWIEN.AC.AT cc 01/04/2008 15:49 Subject Any smart solution to Please respond to send a meesage to 2 MQSeries List queues <MQSERIES@LISTSERV.MEDUNIWIEN.AC.AT> Hi, I need to send 1 message from Z/OS to 2 queues in a distributed platform.
