BATCH messages advice requested

Currently, most messages received on our mainframe qmgr are destined to CICS and are triggered 'on first' . We are in the process of putting in a new application that will receive large volumes (50,000+) of batch messages from a vendor. The messages will come in at different times of the day,

Janet, If your vendor is able to have a periodic job remove messages from the queue, then the messages do not belong in MQ but in a sequential file or a database. I suggest you have them write a listener program that immediately removes the messages from the queue and writes them to a file.

Not to get into the nuts and bolts of triggering on depth that has been suggested by several already, it is not immediately obvious that your programmers MUST reset the trigger on depth before terminating each time or the trigger will turn OFF and never start your app again. This is something

Another problem w/ triggering on depth is, if the job abends and the qdepth is not below the trigger depth you can not reset the trigger. That means you need an application person to fix the abend and manually restart the job, and a MQ admin to reset the trigger. We had the same issue and decided

Build a 2nd qmgr, tune it for the batch processing, route the messages to it from the 1st. The isolation will make it easier to tune both logging and psid storage requirements. You've got plenty of bufferpools, psids if you're at v5.3. Maybe even route the batch directly to a dedicated
